Six Dimensions of Document Intelligence

Aida works across six interconnected capabilities to transform raw documents into structured, searchable, and actionable business intelligence.

Auto-Classification

Aida reads every incoming document and automatically assigns it to the correct category. Invoices, contracts, policies, correspondence, HR records, and hundreds of other document types are identified with over 95% accuracy, eliminating manual filing entirely.

Data Extraction

Pull structured data from unstructured documents automatically. Aida extracts dates, amounts, names, reference numbers, and custom fields from invoices, contracts, forms, and more. Extracted data populates metadata fields, enabling powerful filtering and reporting.

Summarisation

Get instant summaries of any document, from a single page to a 500-page report. Aida generates concise, accurate summaries that capture key points, decisions, and action items. Summaries are stored alongside the original document for quick reference.

Intelligent Chat

Ask Aida questions about your documents in natural language. "What is the termination clause in the Acme contract?" or "Show me all invoices over ten thousand pounds from last quarter." Aida understands context, cross-references documents, and delivers precise answers with source citations.

Industry Intelligence

Aida learns the patterns of your industry. Whether you operate in healthcare, construction, legal, finance, or manufacturing, Aida applies sector-specific understanding to improve classification accuracy, flag compliance risks, and suggest relevant metadata tags.

On-Premises Option

For organisations that cannot send document data to external servers, Aida supports fully on-premises AI processing. Your documents never leave your network, meeting the strictest data sovereignty requirements for government, defence, healthcare, and regulated industries.
