AI Document Extraction

Cradl AI, worked by an AI employee

Not another app for your team to learn, and not a set of rules for you to build. You hire an AI employee, you give it access to your Cradl AI account, and you ask it for things in Slack or Teams the way you would ask anyone else on the team. There is nothing to map and nothing to maintain.

  • AI Document Extraction
  • Connects with a key
  • 11 ready-made tools

What Cradl AI is

Cradl AI is an API-first platform for building and operating AI-powered document extraction workflows.

You paste in a key from your own Cradl AI account. It is kept encrypted, and you can withdraw it from inside Cradl AI whenever you like.

How a run works

One message in, the work done in Cradl AI.

  1. 01

    You ask

    You message your AI employee in the chat your team already has open, in one sentence, in your own words.

  2. 02

    It works out the step

    It decides what the job needs in Cradl AI. You do not pick anything from a menu or wire anything together.

  3. 03

    It does the work

    Signed in to your own Cradl AI account, inside the access you granted it, doing the thing you asked for.

  4. 04

    It reports back

    It tells you what it did, in the same thread. If it could not do something, it says so rather than guessing.

11 tools it already has

What it can do in Cradl AI

These are the ready-made tools your AI employee already has in Cradl AI. It is not limited to them, but it never has to be taught these.

  • Download FileDownload document, OCR, annotation, prediction, or run-variable content from a Cradl AI file URL returned by another Cradl AI tool.
  • Get Agent RunGet the current state and outputs of one Cradl AI agent run. Poll this read-only tool until the run reaches a terminal status; it does not itself consume page quota.
  • Get DocumentGet metadata, processing links, and annotations for one Cradl AI document by ID. This read does not consume page quota.
  • Get PredictionGet one extracted prediction, including its status, fields, errors, and downloadable output references. This read does not consume page quota.
  • List Agent RunsList processing runs for an agent, optionally filtered by status or creation/update time. Use this to discover recent extraction jobs and their run IDs.
  • List AgentsList document-processing agents available to the connected Cradl AI workspace. Use an agent ID from this result to start an extraction run.
  • List DocumentsList documents in the connected Cradl AI workspace and discover document IDs and content/output file URLs.
  • List PredictionsList extracted predictions, optionally filtered by model, and discover prediction IDs and output file URLs.
  • Process DocumentCreate a persistent Cradl agent run and document, then upload one document for asynchronous extraction in a single call. This consumes processed-page quota. It returns immediately
  • Start Agent RunCreate a processing run for an existing Cradl AI agent. This creates persistent run state; attaching and processing document content against the run consumes the workspace's monthl
  • Upload Document to RunCreate a document attached to a Cradl AI agent run and upload its PDF, image, or email bytes. The upload starts asynchronous processing and consumes the workspace's monthly process
Access, and who is in charge of it

You stay the boss of your Cradl AI account.

Nothing connects until you approve it. You grant access one app at a time, you can take it back the same way, and everything your AI employee does in there is written down where you can see it.

How we handle your data
  • It signs in to your own Cradl AI account. You are not moving anything into ours.
  • You grant access one app at a time, and you can take it back the same way.
  • Everything it does in Cradl AI is written down, with what it did and when.
  • Anything you tell it to check with you first, it checks with you first.
Other apps in the same corner of the business

It works in Cradl AI and the rest of your software in the same job

A real job rarely stays in one place. Reading a message in one app, checking a record in another and writing the result in a third is one request to your AI employee, not three.

Yes. It signs in to your own Cradl AI account and works in it the way a new hire would, from the chat your team already has open. Nobody installs anything, and nobody learns a new screen.

No. Nothing moves and nothing is replaced. Your records stay in Cradl AI, your team carries on in the same screens they used yesterday, and your AI employee works alongside them in there.
How does it get into my Cradl AI account?
You paste in a key from your own Cradl AI account. It is kept encrypted, and you can withdraw it from inside Cradl AI whenever you like. You approve it before anything connects, and you can take the access back the same way you gave it.

Can it use Cradl AI and the rest of my software in the same job?
Yes, and that is usually the point. Reading a message in one app, checking a record in Cradl AI and writing the result somewhere else is one request to your AI employee, not three separate ones you stitch together.
