Use case · Document understanding

Turn invoices and forms into information your app can use.

Send a document to an enabled file-capable model or use the document-analysis endpoint. Check the live catalog for models that advertise file input before building your workflow.

  • Choose a model that supports file input
  • Extract the fields your workflow actually needs
  • Validate extracted values before saving or acting on them

How it comes together

Extraction is a workflow, not a magic button.

A useful document flow pairs a file-capable model with validation rules and a human review path for uncertain fields.

01

Check support

Choose a catalog model advertising file or PDF input.

02

Extract

Ask for only the fields your downstream process needs.

03

Validate

Check totals, dates, and required fields before making changes.

Model output can be wrong. Keep review and correction available wherever an extraction affects a financial or operational decision.
