Generative AI: the Key to Unlocking the Full Potential of Intelligent Document Processing (IDP)

In today's fast-paced digital era, businesses face the daunting task of effectively managing significant volumes of documents and extracting valuable insights from them. Data contained within these documents is vital for enterprises, as it serves as a primary source of business information, enabling informed decision-making. However, with their increasing need to process complex documents, organizations’ reliance on traditional document processing methods is no longer adequate, and, in fact, such methods often result in inefficiencies, errors, and missed opportunities.

In recent years, Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) has gained prominence across industries and functions, including finance, healthcare, insurance, and legal, to automate document processing and realize a plethora of business benefits. Meanwhile, technologies such as Generative AI (Gen AI) have sprung onto the scene and are rapidly gaining traction due to the distinct advantages they offer over traditional AI such as advanced Natural Language Understanding (NLU) and content generation capabilities. Although language models such as BERT have traditionally been a part of IDP solutions, the integration of advanced LLMs such as GPT 3.5 (and above) is expected to revolutionize the way enterprises handle and process documents, offering them the tools to transform their operations, drive innovation, and unlock new opportunities.

An IDP solution integrated with Gen AI harnesses sophisticated context-understanding capabilities to effectively classify and extract data from semi-structured and unstructured documents. This integration can automate the extraction process and turn unstructured data into a structured, machine-readable format. It can also offer post-processing capabilities, such as insights generation, text summarization, and information retrieval, through intelligent conversational search. The integration is expected to have a significant impact on crucial business metrics, including enhanced Straight Through Processing (STP) rates, improve extraction accuracy, increase efficiency in classification, reduce the reliance on human agents to handle errors, and exert a positive influence on the overall Turn Around Time (TAT).
