## Build financial products that feel seamless

- **Extract in Milliseconds** — Users shouldn't stare at a loading spinner. Fast mode parses receipts in real time for snappy, user-facing expense flows.
- **Split Large Bundles Instantly** — Loan packets arrive as massive PDFs with dozens of bundled docs. Automatically segment applications, disclosures, and supporting documents to unblock downstream processing.
- **Fill Forms Programmatically** — Precise field mapping for FSA enrollment and claims. Detect and fill text fields, checkboxes, and signature blocks without maintaining templates.
- **Parse State-Specific Formats** — Entity names, registered agents, authorized shares. Extract accurately from Articles of Incorporation regardless of state or filing type.
- **Handle Any Vendor Format** — No two vendors send the same invoice. Pull line items, totals, and payment terms from any layout without custom parsers.

## The highest performance document APIs for your agents and pipelines. Processing millions of pages every day.

APIs:

### 01 / parse

Convert unstructured documents into context for agents.

- **Layout detection** — Advanced layout model detects tables, checkboxes, images, handwriting, and signatures on every page.
- **Specialized vision models** — A hybrid computer vision + vision-language model pipeline routes each element to purpose-built models.
- **Multiple performance modes** — Toggle between performance modes optimized for speed, cost, or accuracy.
- **Handle every file** — 35+ file types, 100+ languages, and 4 chunking strategies — all through one API.

### 02 / extract

Extract structured data from documents into any schema.

- **Scale to 1,000+ page files** — Smart chunking & merging strategies ensure accurate extraction without hitting token output or context limits.
- **Extract large tables** — Choose from multiple array extraction strategies, capable of extracting 1,000+ rows accurately across 100s of pages.
- **Precise bounding boxes** — Dedicated citation model generates granular citations for every extracted value, even inferred ones.
- **Low latency processing** — Fast mode extraction for real-time use cases.
- **Model-agnostic by design** — New foundation models are continuously benchmarked and integrated. Evaluate performance and upgrade versions safely.

### 03 / split

Segment multi-document files into individual subdocuments.

- **Large document splitting** — High-precision splitting that maintains accuracy on 2,000+ page files.
- **Instance detection** — Detect unique identifiers to separate multiple instances of the same document type, like splitting 50 invoices by invoice number.
- **Intelligent boundary handling** — Smart overlap handles mid-page boundaries while keeping context intact.
- **Cost-optimized splitting** — Toggle cost-optimized splitting for bulk jobs, or high precision for tough files.

### 04 / classify

Classify documents into pre-defined categories.

- **Optimized for cost** — Deploy fast and cheap classification at scale with purpose-built classifiers, without compromising on accuracy.
- **Memory** — Multimodal retrieval system that learns from past examples to handle edge cases where prompting falls short.
- **Real time classification** — Toggle low-latency classification to give instant feedback to your users.

### 05 / edit

Detect form fields and fill them programatically.

- **Comprehensive field support** — Detect and fill in checkboxes, signatures, text fields, tables, dropdowns, multi-line paragraphs, and character-per-box inputs (like SSNs).
- **Dynamic form filling for agents** — Use natural language instructions to map data to the right fields automatically, no template required.
- **Template-based filling** — For static forms, detect field positions once and fill them at scale deterministically.
- **Reliability at any scale** — Fast, reliable results even on complex forms with hundreds of fields.

## Frequently asked questions

### Which financial documents can Extend process?

Any document your financial product depends on, extracted accurately at a per-page cost that holds up at production volume, with no custom parsers to maintain. That includes receipts, invoices, bank statements, W-9s, loan packets, FSA enrollment and claims forms, and Articles of Incorporation from any state. Teams like Brex, Mercury, Square, and Upstart use Extend for this.

### Is Extend fast enough for user-facing flows?

Yes. Fast mode parses receipts in real time for user-facing expense flows. Brex needed low latency so users weren't left waiting on uploads, so Extend fine-tuned dedicated models on private GPU infrastructure that avoided latency spikes. Those models made real-time reimbursement logic possible: Brex now categorizes expenses and flags out-of-policy purchases instantly across 30,000+ customers. [Read the Brex case study](https://www.extend.ai/resources/how-brex-reached-99-accuracy-across-millions-of-financial-documents).

### Can Extend split a loan packet into separate documents?

Yes. Splitting segments large loan packet PDFs into applications, disclosures, and supporting documents so each one routes to the right downstream processing.

### Do I need a template for each vendor or form?

No. Extend pulls line items, totals, and payment terms from any invoice layout without custom parsers, and detects and fills text fields, checkboxes, and signature blocks without maintaining templates. Vendr ran a bakeoff across the market and found Extend had the best results of any solution.
