Document Intelligence reads a document and tells you what it actually says: a lease, a loan sanction, a procurement contract, an insurance schedule, a government scheme notification, a lab report.
It exists because the documents that decide a farming family's finances are written in a register almost nobody outside the institution that wrote them can read — and the moment they arrive is the moment somebody is being asked to sign.
It reads the paper and returns what it says in plain language, what it obligates you to, and what in it is unusual or worth asking about before signing.
It is explicit that this is not legal advice. Understanding a document and being advised on it are different things, and the second one requires somebody accountable for the answer.
It is also explicit about a failure mode people do not expect: a blurred or badly lit page produces a confident wrong answer rather than an error. Anything that turns on a number or a date should be checked against the paper, and the tool says so rather than letting a clean-looking summary imply the scan was fine.
It is a paid tool, because reading documents costs real money per page.
How to use Document Intelligence
What it is. One document, one focused job: extract the key facts, pull out the figures and dates, find the risks, find the actions you have to take, or ask it a specific question — with every finding tied back to what the document actually says and everything unclear listed as unclear.
When to open it. When a document will cost you money if you misread it: a contract, a lease, a loan sanction, an insurance policy, a tender, a government scheme notification.
Have ready.
The document.
One clear idea of what you need from it.
Step by step.
Choose one document. One — the screen says so, and the reason is that findings from two documents cannot be traced back reliably.
Choose one job: understand it, check figures, extract key facts, find risks, or find actions.
Read the first-read section before anything else.
Then ask the document your specific question, in the 'Ask this document' box.
Read the 'missing or unclear' section. It is the most valuable part and the one people skip.
Download the analysis report if you are taking it to somebody.
What it will not do. It reads the document you give it and nothing else. It is not legal, financial or tax advice, does not know your jurisdiction's law, and cannot see the other documents in the matter. Where a document is unclear, it says unclear rather than resolving it for you.
Every setting in Document Intelligence, explained
Document
The file being read. How to choose: One, and the clearest copy you have. A photograph of a photocopy loses exactly the small print the risks are in. If it is wrong: Anything unreadable is reported as unreadable rather than guessed at — but a marginal scan produces a marginal reading.
Choose one focused job
Understand it, check figures, extract key facts, find risks, or find actions. How to choose: Pick the one you actually need. 'Find risks' on a contract and 'check figures' on an invoice are different readings of the same page, and asking for both at once gets you a worse version of each. If it is wrong: A general summary, which is the least useful thing a document analyser can produce and the thing every other one produces by default.
Ask this document
Your own question about the contents. How to choose: Ask something specific and answerable from the text: what is the notice period, what happens if I pay late, what is the total including interest. If it is wrong: A vague question gets a vague answer. The tool tells you to type a question first rather than inventing one for you.
A worked example
A loan sanction letter you have been asked to sign this week.
What goes in:
One document
Job: find risks
Then ask: what happens if I repay early?
What comes out:
Supported findings, each tied to what the document says.
Risks and warnings — the clauses that cost you something if they are triggered.
Figures and dates, pulled out where they can be checked against each other.
Unknown or missing: what the document does not say, which in a loan sanction is frequently the point.
An answer to the early-repayment question, or a clear statement that the document does not address it.
'The document does not say' is a real and useful answer. On a contract it is often the finding that matters most, and it is the one a summary would quietly smooth over.
How to read what it gives you
Supported findings are tied to the text. That distinction between what the document says and what might be inferred is the entire difference between a useful reading and a plausible one.
'Missing or unclear' is a deliberate section, not an admission. What a contract omits is usually more dangerous than what it states.
It is a reading of one document. It does not know your other agreements, your local law, or what you were told verbally.
The exported report is designed to be handed to somebody — a lawyer, an accountant, a loan officer — as the basis for a conversation.
What usually goes wrong
Asking for a summary. A summary of a contract is the least useful output available; ask for risks, or ask a question.
Uploading several documents and expecting them to be cross-read.
Acting on it instead of taking advice. It reads the page; it does not know the law that governs it.
Skipping the unclear section, which is where the exposure usually is.
Questions people ask about Document Intelligence
Can it tell me if a contract is fair?
No — fairness is a judgement about your position and your law, and it has neither. What it does is find the clauses that will cost you if they are triggered, pull out the figures and dates so they can be checked against each other, and list what the document does not address. That is the material you take to somebody who can advise you.
Why does it ask me to choose one job?
Because 'find the risks' and 'check the figures' are genuinely different readings of the same page, and a request for everything at once produces a worse version of each. A general summary is the default output of most document tools and the least useful thing to have.
What does 'missing or unclear' mean?
What the document does not say, or says ambiguously. On a contract this is frequently the most important finding: an absent notice period, an unspecified penalty, a term that could be read two ways. A summary would quietly smooth over all three.
Can I upload more than one document?
One at a time. Findings need to be traceable to a specific place in a specific document, and mixing two makes that unreliable in exactly the situations where reliability matters.
Is this legal advice?
No. It reads a document and reports what it finds. It does not know your jurisdiction, your other agreements or your circumstances, and the report is written to be handed to somebody who does.
