Documents in, checked data out
Intelligent document processing (IDP) uses AI to extract, classify, check and route the data inside contracts, KYC packs, compliance filings and invoices. It replaces people reading documents and retyping them elsewhere. It does not replace their judgement on the cases that need it.

What Is Intelligent Document Processing?
Most document workflows in financial services still rely on people reading things and typing them somewhere else. Intelligent Document Processing is the category of AI built to replace that work.
Automated Document Processing: What It Actually Replaces (And What It Doesn't)
"Automated document processing" gets sold as a blanket fix for slow paperwork. It replaces a specific, well-defined set of tasks. It does not replace judgement, exception handling, or the process design work most buyers skip.
KYC Document Automation: A Practical Guide for UK Financial Services
KYC document processing is one of the most resource-intensive manual workflows in UK financial services. AI can automate the extraction, cross-referencing, and exception flagging. Here is how.
IDP for Fintech and Compliance: How Kelriva Compares to Generalist AI Consultancies
Most UK AI consultancies pitch broad AI capability: fintech products, AWS-native GenAI, full-stack assessments, fast SME builds. Almost none specialise in document-centric IDP for regulated industries. Here is what the market actually offers, and where that leaves a genuine gap.

The terms, in plain English
- Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) →
- Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) uses AI to automatically extract, classify, validate, and route data from unstructured documents, such as contracts, KYC packets, compliance filings, and invoices, replacing manual document review with automated pipelines.
- Document AI →
- Document AI is the broader category of applying artificial intelligence, OCR, computer vision, language models, and validation logic, to understand and process the content of documents, of which Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) is the specific extract-classify-validate-route practice built on top of it.
- Document Classification →
- Document Classification is the automatic identification of a document's type, such as an invoice, contract, identity document, or compliance filing, based on its content or appearance, so the right extraction and validation workflow can be applied to it.
- KYC Automation →
- KYC Automation applies AI-based document extraction, verification, and workflow tools to Know Your Customer checks, reducing manual review time on identity documents, ownership structures, and sanctions screening, while keeping the judgement calls, such as unresolved matches and escalations, with a compliance officer.
- Invoice Automation →
- Invoice Automation is the use of software to capture, validate, and process supplier invoices with reduced manual input, using AI-based extraction to read invoice fields and line items, check them against business records, and route exceptions for review.
- Human-in-the-Loop AI →
- Human-in-the-Loop AI is an approach where a person reviews, approves, corrects, or escalates decisions an AI system makes, used wherever accuracy, compliance, or business risk makes a fully autonomous decision inappropriate.
