🗞️News:
ABBYY with major platform enhancements
Intelligent Document Processing vendor ABBYY has announced major upgrades to its solutions to enable better integration with AI agents and LLMs and help businesses increase their success with automation. Key highlights include an upgrade to ABBYY Process AI, which now enables organizations to connect data across people, bots, and systems for end-to-end process monitoring and proactive decision-making. In addition, ABBYY Document AI now offers robust OCR, classification, extraction, validation, and exception management capabilities in a single platform, alongside seamless human review. New features supporting global language scripts, accurate table and equation recognition, and advanced pre-trained models enable companies to deploy production-ready GenAI in business-critical workflows while ensuring governance and accuracy. Enhancements to FineReader Engine include advanced layout analysis, support for handwritten text in multiple languages, modern file formats, and structured JSON export for deep integration. Maxime Vermeir, Senior Director of AI Strategy at ABBYY, commented: “We’re not just equipping customers with the best Document AI and Process AI—we’re providing them with the tools to manage the evolving risk landscape. ABBYY solutions are designed for data privacy and sensitive content protection and built-in governance hooks for transparent, explainable AI outputs with auditable process trails. We’ve also anticipated hidden AI risks and know secure agentic automation at scale requires enabling autonomous AI agents with the guardrails and process awareness to act safely in regulated, mission-critical workflows.”
Infrrd launches Ally
Intelligent Document Processing vendor Infrrd has announced the launch of Ally, its Agentic AI workforce designed exclusively for the mortgage industry, marking a transformative breakthrough in mortgage audit automation. Built on Infrrd’s proprietary Agentic AI framework, Ally mimics the reasoning and contextual insight of a seasoned auditor to execute end-to-end audit tasks with high precision. Core features include pre-trained mortgage intelligence with embedded investor guidelines and compliance standards, eliminating lengthy configuration. Ally offers a conversational knowledge assistant that enables auditors to query data in plain language, unified audit management consolidating tasks, rules, and reviews in a single platform, and an automated end-to-end review workflow encompassing income, credit, assets, appraisal, title, insurance, fraud detection, and post-closing verification. Amit Jnagal, CEO and Founder of Infrrd, explained: “In 2019, before LLMs came about and before AI became what it is today, I wrote a book on how AI will drive business in the years to come. Our vision was to get the World to a place where AI takes the first shift of work and humans start with the second shift. Everything we do at Infrrd—our product development, research, and innovations — is aligned with this one goal. Regardless of what you do, we want to get you to a place where, before you come to work, AI has done most of the work for you. We are proud to launch Ally, our first offering aligned with this thinking in the Mortgage space.”
Hyperscience launches Hypercell for SNAP
Intelligent Document Processing vendor Hyperscience has announced Hypercell for SNAP, its purpose-built AI solution aimed at transforming Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefit processing for US State and Local Governments in response to escalated compliance mandates introduced under H.R.1. The new law requires all 42 million SNAP beneficiaries to reapply or recertify their eligibility every six months, doubling administrative workload and complexity. Traditional paperwork bottlenecks, incomplete and illegible documentation, and legacy technologies have crippled past efforts to streamline SNAP. Hypercell for SNAP directly addresses this by automating and orchestrating the entire document-heavy workflow. Leveraging proprietary Vision Language Model (VLM) technology, the platform comprehends more than 30 diverse document types and formats per application. Andrew Joiner, CEO of Hyperscience, explained: “State governments have invested millions in legacy technologies that have failed to solve the core SNAP challenge, leaving applicants facing weeks of delays and exposing states to costly penalties under new compliance mandates. The problem isn’t the portal; it’s the paper. Documents remain the biggest bottleneck. Hypercell for SNAP applies our deep AI and ML software expertise to provide an accurate, rapid, and turnkey understanding of the varied, complex documents in a SNAP application packet—finally allowing states to overcome this systemic processing failure and meet their fiscal and humanitarian goals simultaneously.”
Otera (previously DeepOpinion) joins forces with Sopra Steria
Intelligent Document Processing vendor Otera (previously DeepOpinion) has announced a partnership with digital transformation provider Sopra Stia. Together, the two companies aim to accelerate the adoption of autonomous enterprise systems across Europe. To ensure secure implementation, Otera and Sopra Steria have developed a joint governance framework that enables human oversight, AI governance, and compliance with EU regulations. Hendrik Leitner, Head of Global Partnerships at Otera, commented: “Our vision is to make enterprises autonomous from the ground up through AI. With Sopra Steria, we offer not just software, but a new, agentic-first operating model implemented within weeks, with full control and traceability, even in regulated environments.”
Box joins forces with Tata Consultancy Services
Box, the Intelligent Content Cloud, has announced a strategic partnership with Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) to drive digital transformation through intelligent content management for enterprises across industries. By combining TCS’s deep industry expertise and Box’s Intelligent Content Management platform, the two companies deliver specialized, integrated end-to-end solutions to help organizations turn unstructured content into a competitive advantage. Olivia Nottebohm, Chief Operating Officer of Box, commented: “Enterprises are moving beyond the AI hype and looking for real, scalable, and intelligent solutions that drive business outcomes. At Box, we’re focused on helping organizations tap into the value of their unstructured content with AI-powered tools that bring structure, insight, and action to their most critical data. By partnering with TCS, one of the world’s largest and most trusted systems integrators, we’re delivering industry-specific solutions that solve real customer challenges, boost productivity, and accelerate digital transformation at scale.”
Ocrolus adds automated conditioning to its suite of products
Intelligent Document Processing vendor Ocrolus has introduced automated conditioning, a major enhancement for mortgage lenders. This new capability streamlines the traditionally manual and error-prone process of condition creation and management, enabling lenders to accelerate loan processing, boost quality, and reduce compliance risks. The automation dynamically identifies underwriting conditions (such as asset, income, and credit requirements) within a structured, auditable system. Nadia Aziz, General Manager of Mortgage at Ocrolus, explained: “Automated conditioning eliminates one of the biggest bottlenecks in mortgage origination. By applying AI to one of the most complex parts of mortgage underwriting, we’re helping lenders move from reactive checklists to proactive intelligence – ensuring every loan is reviewed faster, more consistently, and with greater confidence. It’s a leap forward for lenders and a better experience for borrowers.”
