Document Text Extraction and Classification with AI Agents
Processing and managing large volumes of documents has always been a challenge for businesses.
Processing and managing large volumes of documents has always been a challenge for businesses. Traditional methods rely on manual data entry, rigid rule-based systems, or outdated OCR tools, making document workflows slow, inefficient, and prone to errors. AI-powered document extraction and classification revolutionize this process, enabling businesses to automate workflows, extract key information, classify documents, and dynamically route them based on their content.
At 913.ai, we take this even further. Instead of manually configuring complex automation, you can just explain your workflow in natural language using Lyrics, and AI will build the agent for you. The Agent Builder allows you to customize every step, ensuring seamless document processing, classification, and integration with your existing tools.
How AI Agents Automate Document Processing
Traditional OCR-based document processing tools extract raw text but fail to understand context and structure. 913.ai’s AI-powered approach goes beyond OCR by providing highly customizable document extraction and classification, while enabling smart automation workflows.
With 913.ai, you can:
• Upload thousands of documents at once
• Extract, classify, and route documents dynamically
• Store extracted information in structured databases automatically
• Save knowledge from documents into the Knowledge Base for future use
• Customize workflows in the Agent Builder
• Use results from previous steps in later stages
• Enable human review for critical cases
• Integrate with tools like Google Drive, Notion, SharePoint, and more
For example, a company receiving a mix of invoices, contracts, and reports can set up an AI Agent that automatically extracts key details, classifies each document type, stores the extracted information in a database, and routes them to the right department—without any manual intervention.
And the best part? With Lyrics, you can describe your workflow in natural language, and AI will build it for you—no coding or technical expertise required.
Highly Customizable Agent Builder
913.ai allows businesses to design fully customized document workflows with a simple drag-and-drop interface. The Agent Builder provides complete flexibility, enabling teams to:
• Define custom extraction rules for different document types
• Use multiple extractors to extract various data fields
• Compare extracted results from different extractors to ensure accuracy
• Store extracted data automatically into structured databases
• Save extracted knowledge into the Knowledge Base for later use
• Set up conditional routing based on classification labels
• Integrate AI Agents with external tools effortlessly
• Enable human review for flagged documents
With the Classifier Axon, you can drag the classifier into your workflow and define different labels for different kinds of documents. Once classified, you can route each document type differently, ensuring automated processing tailored to your needs.
To extract specific information, just drag the Extractor Axon, define the data points you want to extract, and let AI handle the rest.
If you need to generate structured information, use the Structured Generator Axon, which enables you to create structured outputs from documents dynamically.
AI-Powered Document Extraction
Unlike traditional OCR, AI-powered extraction understands context—ensuring structured data extraction from both structured and unstructured documents with high accuracy.
Key Capabilities:
• Extracting specific fields from invoices, contracts, reports, and emails
• Handling complex document layouts, tables, and handwritten notes
• Processing documents in multiple languages and formats
• Improving accuracy over time with AI-powered learning
• Storing extracted information directly into structured databases
For example, a logistics company can use 913.ai to automatically extract key details from bills of lading, invoices, and customs forms, reducing manual data entry and processing errors, while storing extracted shipment details in a structured database for tracking.
AI-Powered Document Classification
Once documents are extracted, they need to be classified and routed correctly. 913.ai’s AI-powered classification system automatically detects document types and applies predefined workflows.
With AI-powered classification, businesses can:
• Classify contracts, invoices, reports, and other document types
• Define custom classification labels.
• Route documents dynamically to different steps based on the classification.
• Store classified knowledge in the Knowledge Base for later retrieval
• Trigger automated actions based on classification results
For example, an organization processing legal contracts, HR documents, and financial reports can automatically classify each document type and send them to the appropriate department—contracts to legal, HR forms to the HR system, and financial reports to accounting.
And once again, Lyrics makes it even easier—just describe your classification and routing needs, and AI will generate the workflow for you.
Addressing the Key Challenges in Document Processing
Handling document workflows at scale comes with many technical, operational, and integration challenges. 913.ai eliminates these hurdles, making document automation simple, powerful, and scalable.
Technical Challenges
Extracting text from scanned PDFs, handwritten notes, and complex tables requires different OCR techniques. Many tools fail to handle non-standard layouts, charts, and multilingual content. Documents often contain domain-specific terminology and abbreviations that generic NLP models misinterpret.
913.ai automatically processes structured and unstructured documents with high accuracy, allowing users to define custom extractors, compare extraction results, and choose the best AI models (OpenAI, Gemini, Mistral, etc.) for their needs. Users can explain their workflow in natural language using Lyrics, and AI will build the agent for them—no complex setup required.
Operational Challenges
Processing large volumes of documents efficiently while maintaining accuracy is difficult. Companies must balance speed, precision, and quality control while ensuring that documents reach the right teams.
913.ai scales effortlessly to handle thousands of documents daily, classifies and routes them automatically, and enables human review for flagged cases. AI agents detect inconsistencies, validate extracted data, and flag anomalies for manual approval when needed.
Integration Challenges
Traditional automation requires manual API configurations and complex integrations with tools like Google Drive, SharePoint, Notion, CRMs, and databases.
With 913.ai, users simply describe the integration they need, and AI handles the rest—no API setup or manual configurations required. Extracted data is automatically stored in structured databases, knowledge is saved in the Knowledge Base, and files are organized dynamically based on metadata. Businesses get seamless plug-and-play integrations without extra effort.
Quality Control & Security
Ensuring data accuracy and security is critical when automating document workflows.
For quality assurance, users can enable manual review within AI agents to verify, edit, and compare extracted data. This gives businesses full control over the data processed and generated.
For security and compliance, 913.ai is GDPR-compliant and is actively working towards ISO certification. The platform is built with enterprise-grade security and is continuously improved to maintain the highest security standards.
