Automating the Exception: How a Second LLM Judge Drives Straight-Through Processing

Document-centric workflows have been difficult to automate and required human intervention. Attempts to automate document handling often failed or did not scale, because legacy intelligent document processing (IDP) systems were fragile. They often required manually retraining models on dozens of documents just to identify specific fields—only to repeat the process whenever a format changes. The result was a costly cycle of maintenance and manual data entry.

Solving Agent Sprawl: Why AI Agents Need an Operational Context Layer

Since its inception, agentic AI has felt like a distant aspiration. Today, agents are here, and enterprise adoption is accelerating. Gartner predicts that by 2028, the average global Fortune 500 enterprise will have more than 150,000 AI agents in use, up from fewer than 15 in 2025.

Beyond REST: AI Agent Integration through Model Context Protocol

Your users increasingly work through AI assistants.

According to a recent Harvard Business Review Analytic Services survey, only a small share of resondents say their organization has largely integrated AI into workflows.
