For teams comparing document AI on G2

Turn documents into data your AI can use, with every value traced to its source.

Most document AI gets you a number. Adlib also gets you the page it came from. The documents your systems can't read become AI-ready data, so your team does more with the people it has, and every answer holds up in an audit.

Why AI stalls

The pilot works. Then someone asks where the answer came from.

In regulated industries, AI programs rarely fail on the model. They fail on the documents: scans, tables, packets and archives that were never prepared for AI, and outputs nobody can trace back to a source. So quality says no, and the use case stays a pilot.

Lower cost

Fewer hours spent converting, checking and re-keying documents, and fewer point tools to maintain. The same team handles more.

Faster answers

Data your people and your models can use as soon as a document lands, from scans, CAD, office files and decades-old archives.

Simpler compliance

Every value links to the file, page and version it came from, with a history of who checked or changed it.

How it works

Agents do the admin. Your people lead.

Most AI puts a person in the loop to check the machine, so the team does the work twice. Adlib works the other way round: the agents do the admin, and every value they hand over is traced to its page.

1

Read

Agents render each document, whatever its format, and extract the values that matter.

2

Check

Values are compared across documents, so inconsistencies surface before anyone relies on them.

3

Trace

Each value is tied to the file, page and version it came from, with a full history of who checked or changed it.

4

Lead

Your people make the call, working from a record they can defend.

01  AUDITABLE

Every value traced to its source

02  DOCUMENT TO DATA

AI-ready, not just converted

03  HUMAN IN THE LEAD

Agents automate, people decide

04  NO LOCK-IN

Your data stays yours

How Adlib compares

Conversion tools give you a file. Extraction tools give you a number. Adlib gives you both, with the source.

Most teams already have a PDF tool and some form of data extraction. Here is where each one stops.

FAQ

Questions buyers ask

What does Adlib do?

Adlib turns the documents your systems can't read into data your people and your AI can use, with every value linked to the page it came from. It converts almost any file into consistent, searchable PDF and PDF/A, extracts the values that matter, and checks them across documents.

Does Adlib replace our document management or PLM system?

No. Adlib works upstream of the systems you already run and delivers consistent, searchable records and data into them. It connects to SharePoint Online, M-Files and Exchange Online, with an integration framework and SDK for the rest.

Which AI models does it use?

Yours. Bring your own model, and see token use and cost for each job in a dashboard.

Where does our data live?

In your own cloud. Every document, extracted value and source link stays in your environment.

Does the AI make decisions?

No. Adlib does the admin: converting, extracting, checking and tracing. Your people make the decisions and sign.

Which industries do you work with?

Regulated industries including life sciences, energy and utilities, aerospace and defense, precision manufacturing and the public sector. For insurance, see Paperbox, from Adlib.
