Documents read for you, you check the exceptions.
Invoices, contracts and claims read and keyed without a hand on them. 96% extraction accuracy, and a person reviews the rest.
Still re-keying invoices, contracts and applications by hand? Your team is the OCR, and that is the problem.
- 96% accuracy, people review the rest
- Scans, PDFs and handwriting
- Every field traceable to its page
Every document still needs a human. Even the ones that don't.
Invoices, contracts, applications, claims - 30-40% of admin time goes to someone reading a document and typing what it says into another system. It’s slow, error-prone, and the worst use of your most capable people’s time. RIVER builds the layer that reads it first.
Your process today
With RIVER
An invoice arrives as a PDF, and someone re-keys every line into the GL.
Line items extracted and mapped to your GL codes automatically.
A contract gets read once, then its key dates live in someone's memory or a spreadsheet.
Clauses, dates and obligations extracted and matched to your risk categories.
A claim or application is read cover to cover before anyone can act on it.
Fields extracted and confidence-scored the moment it lands, for review on the low-confidence ones.
High-confidence fields flow straight through; nothing enters your systems unreviewed on the rest.
Month-end means days of manual entry across hundreds of documents.
Hundreds of documents processed in minutes, in a batch your team starts and walks away from.
Nobody can say which document a figure came from, or who touched it last.
Every extraction, override and export logged and traceable to the source document.
Your team keeps the judgement call. The platform takes the reading and the re-keying.
What AI actually does here. Grounded in the work, not the hype.
Documents read, fields extracted, exceptions flagged - the platform does the reading and the re-keying, and leaves the call on anything uncertain to your team.
Read it, and map it to your systems
The two things every document needs first: getting the data out, and putting it where your systems expect it.
One line item below the confidence threshold - flagged for a quick check.
Then trust the exceptions, and the scale
On that foundation, confidence scoring means your team reviews the fields worth reviewing, and the volume stops being the bottleneck.

- Every extraction, override and export logged and traceable to the source document.
- NZ-hosted, and your documents never train a model.

The questions people ask when they’re ready to move.
Whatever your team can read, the platform can extract from. PDFs, scanned images, Word documents, spreadsheets, even handwritten notes - individually or in batch.
- Invoices, contracts, applications, claims, reports and compliance filings.
- Structured, semi-structured and unstructured documents alike.
- Most document types are live within the first few weeks.
They're flagged for your team, not guessed at. Every extraction carries a confidence score. High-confidence fields flow straight through; low-confidence fields are queued for a human to check before anything is committed.
No - it removes the re-keying, not the judgement. Your team reviews exceptions and makes the calls the platform flags; it stops being the OCR and starts being the reviewer.
- A field is extracted and scored, never posted without the rules you set.
- Every override is logged against the document it came from.
- Full audit trail for anything a compliance review asks about.
It learns your document types and your target systems together. Invoice line items map to your GL codes, contract clauses to your risk categories, application fields to your case system - configured once, during discovery.
The Trust Centre carries the detail your procurement or compliance review will ask for.
No - it works wherever documents get processed, which is everywhere. Insurance claims, health referrals, loan applications, construction invoices, contracts, government correspondence - the extraction is the same problem in every sector, just tuned to your document mix.

Five frontier models in three days. The only thing that survives is your eval set
Anthropic, Google, Meta, Alibaba and OpenAI all shipped a frontier model in the first three days of September. The teams that switched in a day had one thing in common: 30 to 50 real examples from their own work, scored the same way every time. How to build yours this afternoon.

Your AI vendor's pricing has a balance sheet under it
The five biggest US cloud companies are spending close to US$700 billion this year, most of it on AI, and the gap between that and what they earn is borrowed. Prices and terms can move for reasons that have nothing to do with you. Four questions to put to every AI vendor at renewal.

Developers felt faster. They were slower
A controlled trial found experienced developers were 19% slower with AI while believing it sped them up. A year later the same developers were faster. The gain was never in adoption. It was in aiming AI at the right work.
