Document AI — Smarterapps Ai
Document AI Australia
Intelligent document processing (IDP) for Australian businesses — extract, classify and validate data from invoices, forms, contracts and reports, then push it into the right system automatically.
What we build
Documents that process themselves.
Manual data entry from PDFs and scans is slow and error-prone. We build Document AI that reads your documents, structures the data and hands exceptions to people.
01 — Extract
Pull line items, dates, amounts, parties and custom fields from invoices, statements and forms.
02 — Classify
Classification & Routing
Sort incoming documents by type and destination so the right team sees them first.
03 — Validate
Validation & Matching
Cross-check against purchase orders, master data and business rules before posting.
04 — Contracts
Summarise clauses, flag risks and compare versions for lawyer or ops review.
Legal AI →
05 — Agents
Agents that chase missing pages, ask clarifying questions and update your systems.
06 — Integrate
Post validated data into Xero, MYOB, ERP, DMS and CRM through secure APIs.
The AI slant
Where Document AI pays off.
Cut keying time. Hours of typing become minutes of exception review.
Improve accuracy. Validation rules and human checks catch errors before they hit finance or ops.
Speed decisions. Contracts and forms summarised for the people who need to act.
Keep an audit trail. Every extraction and override is logged for compliance.
Technology
The stack behind the AI.
We choose proven, well-supported technology for each Document AI project — native or cross-platform mobile, modern backends, cloud infrastructure and the latest AI models. See our full range of services.
01 — Mobile

FAQs
Common questions.
What is IDP?
Intelligent document processing uses AI to classify documents, extract fields and validate them against rules — more flexible than classic OCR templates alone.
Can you handle Australian invoices and tax invoices?
Yes. We tune extraction and validation for local formats, GST and your coding rules.
Do you replace our DMS or ERP?
No. We integrate with the systems you already use and improve the intake path.
How accurate is Document AI?
Accuracy depends on document quality and rules. We measure precision on your samples and put humans on low-confidence cases.
What about sensitive documents?
We design access controls, logging and hosting to suit your privacy needs. See sovereign AI & privacy.
Will we own the solution?
Yes. On completion and final payment you own the source code and related assets.
