Some big updates are here! We've partnered with natif.ai, an innovative AI startup that is redefining document automation. This partnership will definitely help us deliver even more powerful solutions to you as we join forces to create our most powerful API endpoint to this date! This new feature, which intends to contribute to frontend development using AI-written code, is planned to launch at the end of October.

Who is natif.ai?

Established in 2019 in Saarbrücken, Germany, natif.ai is a young German start-up that emerged from the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI). Making good use of the principles of Artificial Intelligence, natif.ai became well-known for its revolutionary approach to automating documents. The revolutionary idea brought them much attention and monetary interest from big investors like High-Tech Gründerfonds (HTGF), one of the leading investors in innovative technology startups.

What makes natif.ai truly stand out is its founding team: experienced professionals with solid backgrounds in AI research and successful entrepreneurial ventures. The co-founders bring experience in artificial intelligence and machine learning as well as an impeccable record of the successful exits of previous tech startups. With such a solid foundation, natif.ai is well placed to dramatically change how organizations manage documents at their entities.

What Does natif.ai Do?

Precise Data Reading with OCR

natif.ai’s OCR (Optical Character Recognition) and HTR (Handwriting Recognition) capabilities can capture all the data on your documents regardless of if they are typed, printed, or handwritten. Their technology enables real-time scanning of documents and turning crumpled scans or low-quality scans into usable data.

Furthermore, their Automated Data Recognition is very powerful, it is made to get every single piece of data from documents with high accuracy. As for handwritten content, their HTR technology goes a step further by transforming handwritten notes into digital form, ready for further processing.

Pre-Processing of Scans and PDFs

Their AI is capable of handling large files such as PDF files containing multiple documents by analyzing and separating them. Similarly, their Document Splitting option stands out as quite useful as well. Instead of barcodes or separator sheets, natif.ai can split numerous lengthy files into individual documents. Furthermore, the Data Anonymization feature helps to remove sensitive data accurately, meeting legal guidelines for data protection while preserving document content.

Document Classification with AI

natif.ai’s Automated Classification helps you avoid examining numerous papers and documents. Its AI can single handed differentiate documents and sort them as to the nature of the document, its sender, or anything that one may desire at the time of receipt. Even better, natif.ai offers pre-designed modules of work for general business functions like handling of mails and accounts. And in case you have specific business demands, natif.ai gives you the possibility to train AI models to customize the classification of the documents if necessary.

Precise Data Extraction

natif's AI extracts all the necessary details, processes it in a structured format such as JSON and can easily be integrated with other systems. This includes the ability to extract position data and verify key details such as IBAN and BIC to ensure all the details are correct. The system also takes the time to organize the data, giving values and confidence level.  

Summary

We are excited about this partnership because we believe that natif.ai has a lot of potential. Together, we're developing innovative solutions that will shape how organizations engage in document handling and processing. natif.ai's experience in automating and digitizing documents will be invaluable in delivering even more value-added solutions for optimizing productivity and streamlining processes.

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
