Easy to use, flexible to deploy, and trains different documents easily
We resell the product. We are partners. We do not have internal uses of the product. I do not contact support. I contact a representative usually. He escalates our calls to support. I am part of the initial deployment team. The accuracy of the results produced by the solution's AI document processing is okay. It's good that it supports multi-page documents and tables. It's good that the product also has machine learning. We can enable it, and it will improve over time. Machine learning is one of the main things we use. We can train a small batch of documents from Brazil, and it can improve over time without needing to train a lot of documents. Our customers are spread out. We have tried Portuguese, Spanish, Hindi, Chinese, French, and Italian documents. We had a good experience with the languages we tried. We have used the AI extraction models mostly for invoices. The main thing is to get the process up and running quickly. On the commercial front, there are many tables. We can quickly add a document in development and build a scenario for a demo. The implementation is very quick. We have five different customers in a matter of months. Using ABBYY has helped us reduce manual data entry and free up staff for other tasks. Sometimes, the customer already has an ERP that does the extraction. We are just doing it upfront. The percentage of documents that go straight through processing has improved over time as the models get more advanced. It is the main metric we look at. ABBYY provides "straight-through" processing, in which content is automatically extracted and delivered without manual processing. The quality is good. We set the rules. If it goes through, it means that none of the rules were broken. The main problem is to get the percentage high. We apply manual reviews, too. A percentage of the requests with an error in some rules go through a manual review. We haven't had any solutions in production before. We have had backend solutions, but they were not IDP and were not comparable with ABBYY Vantage. Customers see an advantage in them. It is an extra cost. The price is justified by the ease of implementation of training different documents. If we just need one document or invoice, other products may be more cost-effective. The main thing for me is to enable the users to do the manual reviews and improve the results themselves without needing to train or do a big batch of training with the team. The sooner we can get people trained in the process, the faster we will get the results. The newer tools coming up have more natural language, AI, and large language models. ABBYY is one of the best tools I used. Overall, I rate the solution an 8 out of 10.

Significantly reduces manual effort and improves team workflows through automated ticketing
We've used Agent Builder, IXP, and Maestro for orchestration. We have created context-grounded searches or chatbots using context grounding, and we also use context grounding within an Agentic flow where a bot or agent reads ServiceNow tickets to determine whether it has been assigned to the right work group. If it has not been assigned correctly due to human error, it automatically reassigns it to the right group. I would assess Agentic AI's ability to extract data points as effective. We created an agent for the purpose of extracting data, though not in a document. We created what we call an email conversation agent that engages with a customer, vendor, or someone in an email conversation with a set goal of extracting specific data points for an action to be performed subsequently. The one automation we have deployed in production involves the agent interacting with team members to collect data points and create a ServiceNow ticket. We appreciate almost all features of UiPath Platform, with one of the most successful ones being the use of Coms Mining. Most of the new features related to AI have all been good, and we use Agentic. We have already created a few agents and have started to use Maestro for a few flows, though we are not yet there to orchestrate an end-to-end workflow. We have good ROI from the automations we have developed with UiPath Platform, which far exceeds the investment in the platform. It has saved us tens of thousands of hours in manual effort, making the team members happy to pursue other things of value.

Hello dear Nesrin Benhayoun, hope you are doing fine. There are some big differences between them. I will name 2 of them which for me are the most important: 1- FlexiCapture is an independent Platform. This means that you will be able to automate any department demand for documents context (now so called content), no matter this department "is, or is not" provided with UiPath bot (or any other...

Dear Nesrin, UIPath is using ABBYY FlexiCapture in their projects as an integration to the OCR capabilities, and UIPath AI is something different UiPath artificial intelligence (AI) allows you to scientifically discover automation opportunities and enhance your robots with AI Skills. Simply drag and drop these AI Skills into your workflows—and start automating more it has nothing to deal with OCR.

I think Omar Madaeen has given the response very crisp and clear! When you use it with a a product along with its built in RPA and AI capabilities like UiPath it will become easy to move the process and address the complete value chain of process.
