Automatic classification
Suggest a type (contract, quote, amendment…) on arrival — you confirm before routing.
Document AI
AI for business documents: move faster without losing control
AI for business documents doesn’t replace your teams: it removes the repetitive work — typing, re-keying, hunting for clauses — so that decisions stay human, traced and made at the right time. DocPilot combines a DMS, OCR and DocpilotAI on a real business journey.
PDFs everywhere, little actionable information
Documents arrive by e-mail, Drive and scans. Teams copy out dates and amounts, hunt for the right version, and management still opens attachments to “see what matters”.
- Time-consuming, error-prone manual re-keying
- Approximate filing, orphaned files
- Search limited to the file name
- No clear link between AI suggestions and human approval
DocpilotAI suggests, you approve
On arrival, DocPilot suggests the type and fills in the record (parties, dates, amounts) with a confidence score. You confirm, and the workflow starts. After that, questions with sources and business search on the same repository.

Practical uses of document AI
Structured extraction
Dates, amounts, parties: less data entry, more targeted checks on critical fields.
Questions with citations
Ask questions about one or more documents; DocpilotAI answers from the content and cites its sources.
Search and oversight
Business filters + semantic assistance to find documents and let management see what matters.
Common situations
Procurement / suppliers
Records pre-filled on arrival, approval by amount, visible deadlines.
Legal department
Questions about clauses, case preparation with citations — without an off-scope chatbot.
Executive management
A view of critical files without opening every PDF.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Does AI replace approval?
No. DocPilot’s model is “the AI suggests, a person approves”. Decisions stay traced in the workflow.
How is it different from OCR?
OCR makes the text readable. Document AI structures it (type, fields) and lets you query the content. The two work in sequence.
Where do you start?
A pilot flow (NDAs or suppliers): classification + extraction + confirmation. Then questions and expansion. See the ROI article in the blog cluster.
Where are the guide, FAQ and glossary?
