Why Data Teams Choose Decisional

Data operations often involves tedious manual work: extracting information from documents, entering data into systems, cleaning and validating records, and transforming data between formats. This work is repetitive but requires attention to detail.

Decisional's AI agents excel at these tasks. They can read documents of any format, understand the content, extract relevant information, and populate your spreadsheets—all while you review and approve.

Data Automation Use Cases

Document Data Extraction

Extract structured data from PDFs, contracts, invoices, and other documents.

Example workflow:

  1. Upload documents to process (any format)
  2. Define what data to extract in instructions
  3. Agent reads each document
  4. Agent extracts specified fields (names, dates, amounts, etc.)
  5. Extracted data populates spreadsheet columns
  6. Low-confidence extractions flagged for review

Bulk Data Entry

Enter data from source documents into structured spreadsheet format.

Example workflow:

  1. Upload source documents (forms, receipts, applications)
  2. Agent reads each document
  3. Agent maps content to spreadsheet columns
  4. Agent applies validation rules
  5. Errors and exceptions flagged
  6. Clean data ready for downstream use

Data Cleaning and Standardization

Clean, standardize, and deduplicate messy data.

Example workflow:

  1. Upload raw data spreadsheet
  2. Agent identifies inconsistent formats
  3. Agent standardizes names, addresses, phone numbers
  4. Agent identifies potential duplicates
  5. Clean data written to output columns
  6. Issues logged for review

Web Data Collection

Gather data from websites and online sources.

Example workflow:

  1. Provide list of URLs or company names
  2. Agent visits each website
  3. Agent extracts specified information
  4. Data normalized and populated in spreadsheet
  5. Sources and timestamps logged

Cross-Reference and Validation

Validate data against reference sources and identify discrepancies.

Example workflow:

  1. Upload data to validate
  2. Provide reference documents or sources
  3. Agent cross-references each record
  4. Agent marks valid vs. invalid entries
  5. Discrepancies detailed with reasons
  6. Summary report generated

Format Conversion

Transform data between formats and structures.

Example workflow:

  1. Upload source data in original format
  2. Define target format in instructions
  3. Agent reads and understands source structure
  4. Agent maps to target format
  5. Converted data populated in new structure

Why AI Agents Excel at Data Work

Understands Documents

AI reads and comprehends documents—not just OCR. It understands context, handles format variations, and extracts meaning.

Handles Scale

Process hundreds or thousands of documents with the same quality and attention as the first one.

Applies Judgment

When data is ambiguous or formatting varies, AI reasons about the correct interpretation rather than failing.

Learns Patterns

Describe what you want once. The agent applies that understanding across all your documents.
