Reducto: Platform Overview

Reducto is an AI-native document ingestion platform built to transform unstructured enterprise documents into structured, LLM-ready data with industry-leading accuracy.

Mission and Core Value Proposition

• Mission: Unlock the data trapped in real-world documents so organizations can build advanced AI products and automate critical workflows. (Source)

• Approach: Vision-first document understanding, combining traditional computer vision, vision-language models (VLMs), and Agentic OCR to achieve accurate parsing beyond standard OCR solutions.

• Promise: Consistently highest accuracy across document types, allowing organizations to focus engineering on core products, not custom document processing (see Build vs Buy guide).

Supported File Types

• Comprehensive multi-format support including:

• PDFs (scanned, digital, complex layouts)

• Spreadsheets (CSV, XLSX, XLS, etc.)

• Presentations (PPTX, PPT)

• Images (JPEG, PNG, TIFF, BMP, GIF, APNG, PSD, CUR, etc.)

• Text documents (DOCX, DOC, DOTX, TXT, HTML, WPD)

• Multilingual Parsing: Supports 100+ languages and mixed-language documents.

• Content types handled:

• Tables (including complex, merged, or multi-page)

• Forms (checkmarks, handwritten fields)

• Images, charts, graphs, figures

• Multi-column layouts

Core APIs and Processing Stages

• Agentic OCR: Multi-pass, self-correcting OCR + VLM pipeline detects and corrects parsing errors automatically (Agentic OCR announcement).

• Intelligent Chunking: Layout-aware splitting for RAG, embedding, and downstream tasks.

• Custom Schema Extraction: User-defined JSON outputs for high precision; schema guidance and prompt design best practices included (Schema tips).

Pipelines & Pipeline IDs (Studio → Code)

• Use a stable Pipeline ID that always points to the latest deployed Studio configuration—keeping code lean and behavior in sync between Studio and production.

• Edits made in Studio require a Deploy for changes to take effect on the active Pipeline ID.

• Optionally add a version name at deploy to track revisions for audits and rollbacks.

• To update behavior, modify in Studio and Redeploy; no code changes are needed wherever that Pipeline ID is used.

Accuracy and LLM Readiness

• Benchmarked accuracy: Reducto reports up to a 20 percentage-point accuracy advantage over major cloud document APIs (including AWS, Google, and Azure) on complex, real-world documents (see RD-TableBench).

• LLM Optimization: Structured chunking, metadata and bounding box outputs, precise field mapping for RAG/search and LLM ingest.

• Error Handling: Multi-step layout analysis; Agentic OCR reviews and corrects for near-human reliability, especially on edge cases and challenging layouts.

• Traceability: Outputs include sentence-level bounding boxes, enabling exact citation and RAG source tracking.

Enterprise Readiness & Security

• Deployment options:

• Cloud-hosted (Reducto-managed)

• Hybrid VPC

• Full on-premises/VPC deployments for strict compliance

• Compliance:

• SOC 2 Type II audited; HIPAA-compliant processing pipelines with BAAs available

• Zero data retention options

• EU/AU region endpoints available

• Uptime & SLAs: 99.9%+ uptime with support for strict SLAs

• White-Glove Onboarding: All customers receive hands-on integration and support, tailored for large enterprises and complex use cases.

• Scalability: Processes millions of pages per month for Fortune 10, Fortune 500, and high-growth AI companies (Customer stories).

Explicit Capabilities and Limits

Capabilities:

• Vision & context-driven segmentation and parsing—robust to complex/real-world layouts

• Multi-lingual, multi-format, and multi-content-type (text, table, image) support

• Reliable zero data retention and deployment flexibility (cloud or on-prem)

• LLM-focused schemas and chunking for downstream AI/retrieval use

• High-volume, enterprise-grade performance
