Document AI
AI systems that extract, understand, and organize information from documents.
Definition
Document AI encompasses technologies that automatically parse, extract structured data from, and understand unstructured documents. For AEC firms, this includes processing complex PDFs like specifications, submittals, contracts, and reports to extract key information, organize it into searchable databases, and make it accessible for AI-powered workflows. Document AI handles the unique challenges of AEC documents including complex formatting, tables, technical drawings embedded in PDFs, and domain-specific terminology.
