The 10 best intelligent document processing (IDP) tools in 2025

What if your document processing system could do more than categorize documents and extract data, no matter the format? That’s exactly what you can do with intelligent document processing (IDP) software. IDP tools adapt to varying structures and formats and understand content to summarize lengthy documents, identify anomalies, and flag errors. The best part? IDP software continuously improves in accuracy the more you use it.

How a RAG Pipeline Transforms Your Data into Discoveries

The GenAI revolution is well and truly here. To take inspiration from our favorite comfort show, Gilmore Girls, “It’s GenAI’s world, and we’re just living in it.” In fact, McKinsey reports the number of organizations regularly using GenAI has doubled in ten months between their 2023 and 2024 surveys.

10 Document Types You Can Process with Astera

Your docs are a lot like your family—not in the corporate jargony “we are a family” way, but more in the “can’t live with them, can’t live without them” way.

Today, we’re going to play MythBusters, separate fact from fiction, and show how you can use AI document processing to maximize efficiency and save costs.

What Makes Intelligent Document Processing Essential in Today's Healthcare?

Healthcare data is set to soar, with projections showing that it will grow from 2,300 exabytes in 2020 to an impressive 10,800 exabytes by 2025. To put that in perspective, that’s like having enough data to fill over 2.5 billion DVDs! What’s more is that a large portion of this data is unstructured—scanned documents, handwritten notes, and PDFs that don’t easily integrate into traditional systems. This is where Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) comes in.

Low-Code vs No-Code: The Differences & Similarities

Many vendors have started calling their platforms “low-code” or “no-code.” Competitors often pit the terms against each other. But what do low-code and no-code really mean?
