Insurance agencies spend countless hours manually entering policy data from PDFs into their systems. This tedious process is not only time-consuming but also prone to errors. Enter AI-powered document extraction.

The Challenge of Manual Data Entry

Traditional policy processing involves:

  • Opening each PDF manually
  • Reading through pages of text
  • Finding relevant fields (insured name, premium, dates, etc.)
  • Typing this information into spreadsheets or systems
  • Double-checking for accuracy

This process can take 15-30 minutes per policy, and human error rates typically range from 1-5%.

How AI Extraction Works

Modern AI uses a combination of technologies:

Optical Character Recognition (OCR)

First, the system converts PDF content (even scanned documents) into machine-readable text.

Natural Language Processing (NLP)

The AI then understands the context of the text, identifying what information represents policy numbers, premium amounts, effective dates, etc.

Machine Learning Models

Trained on thousands of policy documents, these models recognize patterns across different carrier formats.

Benefits of AI-Powered Extraction
