Data Extraction with Prompts — flexible, fast, template-free
Tell Algodocs what you need in plain English—no rigid templates. Define fields with prompts (e.g., “invoice total”, “customer VAT”, “ship-to address”), and the model finds the right values across varied layouts. Add validation rules, set confidence thresholds, and route low-confidence items to review. Export to CSV, Excel, JSON or hand off via the REST API.
Why teams choose ALGODOCS for Data Extraction with Prompts
Describe the fields you need: use plain English prompts like “invoice total”, “customer VAT number”, or “ship-to address”.
Flexible by design: prompts work across varied layouts—no rigid templates or page zones required.
Boost results: add context (e.g., “amount due at the bottom right” or “the buyer’s tax ID”).
Name your outputs: map each prompt to a field key (e.g., total_amount, vat_id, ship_to_city).
Types & formatting: choose data types (currency, date, string, number) and normalizations (ISO dates, currency symbols).
Reusable sets: save prompt+mapping bundles and reuse them across projects and destinations.
Add guardrails: regex checks, numeric ranges, date sanity, and cross-field math (e.g., subtotal + tax = total).
Normalization: auto-clean currency symbols, thousand separators, and locale-specific date formats.
Business rules: make fields required, set fallbacks, or compute derived values.
Control quality: set per-field confidence thresholds; low-confidence items route to human review.
Source highlights: reviewers see exactly where a value was found to approve or correct in one click.
Learning loop: corrections feed back to improve future prompt extraction.
Send anywhere: export CSV/Excel/JSON or deliver via REST API & webhooks.
Integrations: map fields to ERP/CRM/AP systems and reuse mappings per destination.
Operate at scale: batch queues, async webhooks, and audit logs for compliance.

Data Extraction with Prompts
Use Generative AI for Document Extraction in 3 Simple Steps
Extract data from invoices, purchase orders, medical reports, forms, and other documents of any layout with Generative AI. Algodocs makes extraction super easy—just enter a question. Pull fields, tables, selection-mark state, and signature presence by typing a prompt. You can also summarize documents, run comparisons, or perform analysis.
Generative AI Data Extraction Method
Click Manage on the extractor to open the editor. Press Add to choose a data extraction method, then select Generative AI Prompts.
Preview & Configure Prompts
The page shows your uploaded sample document on top and the prompts configuration section below for quick setup.
Ask for Specific Fields
Enter natural-language prompts to extract fields and tables. Example: “Find and return invoice number in this document.”
Extract Multiple Fields at Once
For speed, extract multiple fields in one prompt and ask the model to return JSON. Enable Convert JSON output to table to render results as a table.
Example: “Extract invoice number and invoice date. Return result in JSON format.”
Capture Tabular Data
Extract tables with the same approach. Example: “Extract invoice line items. Return result in JSON format.” Keep Convert JSON output to table checked.
Refine with Optional Filters
Apply filters to clean, normalize, and format extracted values as needed—entirely optional but handy for production data.
