Automated Document Processing: 5 Examples and Key Benefits

Sep 4, 2026 By Sabrina Mei In Appian
Automated document processing, also known as intelligent document processing (IDP), uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to reduce the manual effort required to extract data from paper or digital documents. Why is that vital? As organizations continue to modernize in their workflows, enterprises still need to grapple with enormous volumes of documents, such as invoices, receipts, and contracts. Manual data entry and rekeying of document data creates an operational bottleneck.

How Real Estate Companies Modernize Legacy Reporting with Custom Analytics Platforms

Sep 4, 2026 By Eugenii Samarskyi In ORIL
Two dashboards, same portfolio, different occupancy numbers. This is the moment most reporting modernization projects start, and it is usually read as a dashboard problem. The tool gets blamed, a replacement gets scoped, and the divergence survives the migration intact. It survives because it never lived in the dashboard. When occupancy reads 91% on one screen and 94% on another, both tools are usually working correctly. They are faithfully rendering two different calculations of the same concept.

Why Companies Stay on EOL Node.js - Even When They Know the Risk

Sep 3, 2026 By Estefany Aguilar In NodeSource
Legacy Node.js is rarely an awareness problem. It is a risk, cost, and uncertainty problem. Last week, we looked at a striking signal in the official Node.js download data in Node.js Downloads Surge in 2026 as Node.js 24 Takes the Lead. Node.js 24 had become the most downloaded Node.js release, a strong indication that modernization across the ecosystem is accelerating. But something else stood out.

Introducing DreamFactory 7.7.0

Sep 3, 2026 By Kevin McGahey In DreamFactory
DreamFactory 7.7.0 is now the recommended stable release.

Raw WebSockets for AI streaming: when patching stops paying off

Sep 3, 2026 By Madeleine Quinn In Ably
Raw WebSockets drop connections, lose track of canceled responses, and don't natively reach a second device. If your AI streaming feature has been in production for a while, you've probably already built a fix for at least one of these and found another one waiting. Reconnection, cancellation, multi-device delivery, and crash detection are the four problems raw WebSockets leave for you to solve, and each is its own piece of infrastructure to build. Solve one, and the other three remain unsolved.

How to Build a Fee Transparency Compliance System for Multifamily Listings (While the Rules Are Still Settling)

Sep 2, 2026 By Ihor Kosandyak In ORIL
A leasing team lowers the admin fee on a two-bedroom unit inside the PMS on Monday. By Friday, the property’s own site still shows the old figure, two syndication partners show a third number, and the Google Business Profile lists no mandatory fees at all. Every one of those surfaces is an advertisement. Under a growing set of state all-in-pricing laws, each one is supposed to display the same total monthly price. The regulation itself is readable in an afternoon.

Add resumable streaming and reliable tool calling to your OpenAI agent

Sep 2, 2026 By Fiona Corden In Ably
If you build an agent against OpenAI's Responses API then the simplest way to get output to the user is streaming over HTTP/SSE. If the user refreshes the page, loses connection, switches devices, or needs to approve a tool call, then there's nothing in the API to help you. AI Transport is Ably's session layer for agent-to-user conversations. An agent built on it gets resumable streams, multi-device sessions, and approval gates that wait for a human user, without deploying additional infrastructure.
