Automate end-to-end document-driven processes in minutes. Extract data, and validate it with your business rules.

Maximize straight-through processing by detecting and routing edge cases for human review.

Retab contains everything you need to go from prototype to production without stitching brittle tools together.

Automate end-to-end document-driven processes in minutes.

Platform

Document workflows

End-to-end orchestration for complex pipelines. Build multi-step workflows that parse, split, extract, validate, and route with versioning and durability out of the box.

Agent builder

Describe your document pipeline in natural language. Our agent scaffolds the entire workflow — from ingestion through validation to output — in seconds.

Set up a workflow that reads a source PDF, uses borrower JSON and a short instruction, routes exceptions for review, and sends approved output to a webhook.

Great, I will draft the steps, connect the handoffs, and fill in the key settings for you.

Action: Add step

Action: Connect steps

Done. Settings are in place. Run a test batch, review outputs, and publish when the team is comfortable.

Human-in-the-loop

Flag uncertain extractions for human review. Set confidence thresholds, route edge cases to reviewers, and approve or correct results before they hit your systems.

Evals & monitoring

Benchmark extraction accuracy across document types, track drift over time, and ship changes with confidence using built-in evaluation suites.

Confidence scoring

Quantify extraction certainty with our novel k-LLM consensus approach — run multiple vision language models on the same document and score agreement field-by-field before it reaches your pipeline.

Smart routing

Automatically match each document to the right model tier based on complexity. Optimize cost and accuracy without manual configuration.

Source grounding

Trace every extracted field back to the exact region in the original document. Visual proof that builds trust and simplifies audits.

APIs

APIs for modern AI teams

Five primitives that cover every step of the document lifecycle — from ingestion to structured output.

/extract

Pull structured data from any document into typed JSON using a schema you define.

/parse

Convert PDFs, images, and scans into clean markdown or raw text with layout preservation.

/edit

Redact, fill, and transform documents programmatically with AI-powered edits.

/split

Detect logical boundaries and split multi-document files into individual documents.

/classify

Route documents to the right pipeline by classifying type, language, or category.
