Does ABBYY Document AI API classify the documents ?

Hi ABBYY Team / Community,

I’m working on a solution using New Document AI API and I wanted to clarify a key capability:

Can the new Document AI API automatically classify incoming documents by type (e.g., Invoice, Utility Bill, Bank Statement, ID, Tax Form, etc.) before extraction?

Specifically, I’m looking for information on:

  • Whether Document AI API provides pre-trained classification skills or supports building custom classification models?

  • Can this classification happen before data extraction?

  •  

  • Any best practices on handling multi-document PDFs with mixed document types?

Would appreciate any guidance, documentation, or examples on how to implement this.

    Hi Vivek! Great questions. Unfortunately at the moment the API can't classify documents but that's on our radar. Given what you're looking to do (such as mixed document types), I suggest looking into ABBYY Vantage which has classification and much more. If you need access for the upcoming ABBYY DevCon India 2025, I can grant access to a trial instance during the hackathon period. just let me know! cheers
