Garbage In, Garbage Out: Engineering Reliable AI Document Extraction Pipelines

Your OCR problem isn’t really an OCR problem. It’s a pipeline problem. Most document AI pipelines don’t fail because of the model, they fail because of the inputs. When you send your LLMs blurry images, bad crops, unstructured text, you get high costs, lost context, and unpredictable results. In this session, we'll walk through a real-world end-to-end document extraction pipeline and show how to enforce image quality at capture, extract structured data instead of raw text, and send smaller, smarter payloads to LLMs.
