Most people think fixing unstructured data for AI agents is complicated, but they’re overthinking it—here’s what actually works in the real world ↓
Your agents don’t fail because they’re dumb.
They fail because your documents are.
Messy PDFs, wild tables, and scans force your model to guess.
I learned the hidden enemy is unstructured inputs, not weak models.
When layouts shift, answers drift, and your launch stalls.
The simple fix is to structure documents before reasoning.
Parse once, map fields, and keep a stable schema as templates change.
Then your agents focus on decisions, not deciphering.
Example that actually works.
A team processing 2,000 invoices used Aryn DocParse to extract vendor, dates, totals, and line items.
In 48 hours they hit 97% field accuracy and cut manual review by 80%.
The launch timeline shrank from six weeks to five days.
Support tickets about bad answers dropped 42%.
Here is the simple framework to copy ↓
↳ Inventory your top 10 document types and the fields you need.
↳ Build parsers that output clean JSON, not free text.
↳ Validate with golden sets and measure field-level accuracy.
↳ Version your schemas so UI changes don’t break workflows.
↳ Wire agents to the structured fields, then layer reasoning.
⚡ Faster launches, reliable answers, and workflows that survive change.
⚡ Less prompt band-aids, more durable systems your team trusts.
What’s stopping you from structuring your documents first?
