WHAT PEOPLE PROCESS.
AP AUTOMATION
Read incoming invoices into text, then match PO numbers, amounts and due dates with your own logic.
BOOKKEEPING TOOLS
Let customers forward invoices and turn each one into searchable, structured records.
TABLES & LINE ITEMS
VLM-based reading preserves the reading order of line-item tables that classic OCR scrambles.
MIXED QUALITY
Born-digital PDFs and 200 dpi fax-era scans go through the same endpoint. No preprocessing pipeline needed.

DOES IT HANDLE MULTIPAGE INVOICE PDFS?
Yes — up to 500 pages per request, billed per page. A 3-page invoice costs $0.00225.
CAN IT READ LINE-ITEM TABLES?
Yes. Vision-language models keep table structure in reading order far better than classic OCR engines.
IS MY INVOICE DATA STORED?
No. Documents are processed and discarded. We don't train on your data, and we don't keep your invoices.
