AI Document Extraction

Certified Senior Developer

Hi Everyone,

We have a requirement where we are using AI-based document extraction to extract fields from a predefined form.

In the same form, if there are any empty spaces and the user accidentally adds handwritten text or notes outside the expected form fields, we need to detect that additional handwritten content separately.

Is it possible in Appian with help of AI extraction to achieve this use case ?

Kind Regards,

Kavya

    Consider a hybrid approach — Appian IDP for field extraction + Google/Azure AI for handwriting detection outside fields.

    Few challenges

    • Coordinating responses from both and merging results in Appian adds complexity
    • Light pencil marks, stamps may be falsely detected as handwritten notes
    • Sending documents to external cloud AI services may violate data residency or compliance requirements depending on your policies
