Abstract

The session explains why document AI that works in demos can fail in production: document structure can be lost during ingestion, rendering can break on edge cases, and extraction can vary across runs. When agents make routing or approval decisions, teams also need governance. The proposed foundation is deterministic document processing, confidence based routing that escalates uncertain cases, and audit trails built into the infrastructure.
