Extend is an LLM-powered document processing platform that parses, extracts, classifies, splits, and edits complex documents — handwriting, tables, and mixed formats — into reliable structured data via API or its web Studio. It combines multiple frontier models with proprietary context engineering to target 99%+ accuracy on messy real-world files. Used by teams at Brex, Square, Checkr, and Flatiron Health.

Pros & cons

  • Ensemble of frontier models for accuracy
  • Studio UI for schema design + evals
  • SDKs for Python, TypeScript, and CLI
  • Free credits, then pay-as-you-go
  • Used by Brex, Square, Checkr
  • Newer than incumbent IDP vendors
  • Cloud-first; self-host is enterprise-only
  • Usage-credit pricing needs estimation

    Reducto

    Agentic document parsing and extraction for AI teams, via one API.

    A document-intelligence API that parses, splits, extracts, and edits PDFs, images, spreadsheets, and slides into clean, structured output for RAG and AI pipelines. It blends custom in-house models with frontier ones and bills via usage credits, automatically discounting pages it can parse without the heavier pipeline.

    Strong on complex/nested table layouts
    API-only, no app UI

    Lumina AI

    Open-source document intelligence API for RAG-ready data.

    A document parsing and intelligence API that turns complex PDFs, slides, Word docs, and images into clean, LLM/RAG-ready chunks. Chunkr runs layout analysis, OCR, reading-order detection, semantic chunking, and schema-based extraction, emitting HTML, Markdown, or JSON. Self-host the open-source pipeline or call the managed cloud API, which includes a free tier of 200 pages with no card required.
