Parse, extract, split and classify documents with Extend’s APIs, evaluation tools and review workflows.
Extend provides document-processing APIs and a workspace for building extraction workflows. Its operations include parsing, extracting, splitting, classifying and editing documents. Teams can turn files into structured information while retaining layout context that helps reviewers understand where an extracted value came from.
The platform describes support for tables, handwriting, checkboxes, signatures and bounding-box information across many file formats. These capabilities are useful when a document contains more than plain paragraphs. An extraction schema defines the fields a workflow needs rather than leaving every response as free-form text.
Composer uses examples to help optimise schemas. Evaluation tools compare results and support regression testing as a workflow changes. Confidence information and a review agent help route uncertain results, but they do not remove the need to validate important fields against the original document.
Extend offers versioned workflows and developer interfaces through Python, TypeScript and a command line. Different processing modes balance latency, cost and accuracy. Teams should test representative files, including poor scans and unusual layouts, before choosing a configuration for production volume.
Pricing uses credits with operation-specific consumption. A starter allocation is one-time, and the Scale plan combines a monthly subscription with included credits and overage. Enterprise contracts offer additional deployment and access-control options. Healthcare-related contractual arrangements are plan-dependent rather than automatically included everywhere.
Define a small set of required fields and build a labelled test collection. Inspect both successful outputs and plausible-looking mistakes. Establish review thresholds, track changes between versions and keep original files available for audit. Cost estimates should reflect pages, operations and any citation or review features the workflow actually uses.
