Problem the AI is intended to solve

This tool has the ability to intelligentially pull data from different types of documents and transfer that to other applications so that a human does not have to. It makes this type of input be more accurate and can be run 24/7/365 if needed leaving the staff to help with forms/documents that cannot be interpreted by the automated system.

Expected benefits

This tool helps with the allowing the staff to focus on higher decision making processes instead of data input. It increases the efficiency of a process by not introducing errors. It can be a cost avoidance tool when the process it is part of incurs extra fees for this type of work.

System outputs

Outputs of Document Understanding provides the information from the form to be electronically input into other applications via the Intelligent Automation Process.
