Extraction

Reads the document, not just the text layer

A vision LLM reads every field from PDFs and scans alike, recording which page each value came from and how confident it is.

Overview

Vision-LLM extraction

A scanned invoice has no text layer to parse and no consistent layout to template against, which is where traditional OCR pipelines start to fail. Clio reads documents visually, so a scan is handled like any other document — and records where on the page each value came from and how confident it is, which is what makes the result checkable.
