02 · Document extraction

Messy in. Structured out.

Forward a sticky-note photo, a Slack message, an emailed PDF invoice — Autessa reads it and drops clean data straight into your books.

Any format · auto line-item capture

The problem

The data finance needs never arrives in the format you want.

The information finance needs arrives in every format except the one you want: a photographed sticky note, a "can you pay this?" Slack message, a skewed scanned PDF. Someone keys it in by hand, which is slow at volume and where transcription errors creep in.

Why it happens

Invoices, receipts, and approvals come in however the sender had them: a photographed sticky note, a "can you pay this?" Slack message, a skewed scanned PDF. There is no standard inbox and no clean feed to plug into.

Where it lands

Someone keys each one in by hand. That is slow at volume, and it is exactly where transcription errors creep in, the transposed digit or wrong date that surfaces weeks later.

What it is

The hard part is not reading one tidy invoice. It is reading anything, in any layout, including formats you have never seen from a vendor you just onboarded, without building a template first.

The solution

Any format in, structured data out.

Forward anything. Autessa reads it, pulls the line items, vendor, dates, and totals, and drops clean data straight into your books. No manual keying. It reads documents, images, and scans natively, so any layout works without a template.

Read

Any layout, no template

Autessa reads documents, images, and scans natively, so a photo, a PDF, a Word doc, or a chat message all work without setup, even from a vendor format it has never seen.

Photo of receipt → vendor, date, total parsed
Structure

Straight into your books

Line items, vendor, dates, and totals are pulled and dropped in as clean, structured data, with no manual keying between the inbox and the entry.

3 docs → 3 clean entries · 0 keyed by hand
The point is not optical character recognition on a fixed form. Autessa reads messy inputs the way a person would and turns them into structured entries, so the slow, error-prone keying step disappears, while the sign-off stays with you.

How it fits

From a forwarded mess to a reviewed entry.

Forward anything Autessa should capture. It reads the document, extracts the fields, and structures them for review. Nothing is posted until your team approves it.

1You forward a document, photo, scan, or message
2Autessa reads it natively, whatever the layout
3Line items, vendor, dates, and totals are extracted
4The clean entry is structured and presented for review
5Your team approves, and the entry drops into your books

Anything Autessa cannot read with confidence is routed to your team for review rather than guessed at and passed through. You stay in control of what enters your books.

Because it reads natively rather than from a template, a new vendor format does not require setup before its documents can be captured.

This is one of several finance workflows Autessa runs. Start here; the rest is there when you want it. See all →

Questions finance teams ask

Straight answers before you book.

What formats can Autessa read?+

Photos, scans, PDFs, Word docs, emailed attachments, and chat messages, in varying and messy layouts. It reads documents and images natively rather than relying on a fixed template, so a new vendor format does not require setup.

What if it cannot read a document confidently?+

Anything Autessa cannot read with confidence is routed to your team for review rather than guessed at and passed through. You stay in control of what enters your books.

How accurate is the extracted data?+

Line items, vendor, dates, and totals are extracted and structured for review before anything is posted. Your team approves the entries, so automation removes the keying, not the sign-off.

How do I send documents to Autessa?+

Forward them however they arrive — email an attachment, drop in a PDF, snap a photo of a receipt, or send a chat message. There is no fixed intake form; whatever the document, Autessa reads it and extracts the fields.

Can it handle multi-line invoices and split coding?+

Yes. Autessa pulls each line item, not just the header total, so an invoice with several lines comes back as structured line detail ready for coding or allocation rather than a single lump sum.

What happens to the original document?+

The source document is kept and linked to the structured entry, so every extracted figure traces back to the invoice, receipt, or note it came from for review and audit.
