The Evolution of Document Intelligence The shift from basic OCR to Document Intelligence marks a fundamental change in how enterprises process information. Rather than just scanning and converting text, modern systems use AI agents that operate in parallel — each specialized for tasks such as data extraction, cross-validation, enrichment, and ...
