IDP in the generative AI era

“We are firmly in the generative AI era, with the agentic future rapidly approaching, and IDC has seen a significant evolution in the capabilities and strategies offered by IDP software vendors,” stated Andrew Gens, senior research analyst, computer vision AI tools and technologies at IDC.

Challenges have shifted from addressing the processing of unstructured document use cases to extracting meaningful insights from documents, regardless of structure, and building out end-to-end automation workflows that can fuel enterprise processes with reliable and insightful data, he added.

“Driven by the ongoing development of new and more sophisticated multimodal generative AI models, the evaluated vendors have been rapidly extending their existing offerings or launching entirely new IDP software products to capitalize on these models' capabilities. With the emergence of so many swiftly advancing AI technologies, many customers are having to race to keep up.”
