DocLD vs Azure AI Document Intelligence

Audit Current Usage

Review your Azure Document Intelligence models, monthly volume, custom models, Logic Apps workflows, and downstream systems.

Map Models to Schemas

DocLD uses extraction schemas instead of models.

// Azure pre-built invoice model fields
// VendorName, InvoiceId, InvoiceDate, InvoiceTotal, etc.

// DocLD extraction schema
{
  "name": "Invoice Schema",
  "fields": [
    {"name": "vendor_name", "type": "string"},
    {"name": "invoice_id", "type": "string"},
    {"name": "invoice_date", "type": "date"},
    {"name": "invoice_total", "type": "number"}
  ]
}

Create DocLD Account

Sign up for DocLD and set up your organization. No Azure subscription required.

Update API Calls

Update your applications to use DocLD's API.

// Azure Document Intelligence (.NET)
var client = new DocumentIntelligenceClient(endpoint, credential);
var operation = await client.AnalyzeDocumentAsync(
    WaitUntil.Completed, "prebuilt-invoice", stream);

// DocLD (HTTP)
var response = await httpClient.PostAsync(
    "https://api.docld.com/api/extract/run",
    new StringContent(JsonSerializer.Serialize(new {
        document_id = docId,
        schema_id = "invoice"
    }))
);

Replace Logic Apps

Recreate Logic Apps workflows in DocLD with visual workflows, triggers, conditions, and actions.

Set Up Knowledge Bases

Create knowledge bases for document organization and chat - new capabilities not available in Document Intelligence alone.
