Generative AI meets IDP: Transforming document processing for the future
At a glance
Generative AI takes Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) further, adding reasoning, summarization, and adaptive learning to traditional automation. This means faster insights, fewer errors, and smarter, more contextual workflows. As businesses seek scalable ways to streamline decision-making, the impact of Gen AI becomes clear. Moxo brings this power into client-facing workflows, combining Gen AI with IDP to deliver intelligent, secure, and ready-to-act automation.
Traditional Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) has automated how businesses capture and validate data. But even the best IDP solutions can’t reason about context or generate insights.
Enter Generative AI. By combining IDP with Gen AI, businesses unlock workflows that don’t just automate tasks; they understand documents, summarize them, and adapt intelligently.
As UiPath points out, this fusion marks a fundamental shift: from processing documents to making them work for you.
Why current automation isn’t enough
Even an advanced IDP has limits:
- It struggles to summarize lengthy, multi-page documents.
- It cannot adapt instantly to unseen document formats.
- It captures data accurately but doesn’t contextualize it for decision-making.
The result? Businesses still rely on humans to interpret data and create client-ready outputs. This creates bottlenecks in areas like compliance, legal reviews, and onboarding.
Generative AI fills these gaps, making IDP smarter, more flexible, and closer to human-level reasoning.
What IDP + Gen AI delivers
Smarter data extraction and insights
While traditional IDP captures data accurately, Gen AI takes it further by interpreting the content. It can summarize key points, detect anomalies, and flag risks in real time. For example, instead of just extracting a value like $10,500 from an invoice, Gen AI can recognize that the amount is unusually high for that vendor and raise a flag—bringing intelligence to data, not just automation.
Adaptive workflows
One of the biggest limitations of static automation is the need for constant updates when document formats change. Gen AI solves this by learning from new inputs, adapting without manual re-training or rigid templates.
This flexibility reduces the burden on IT teams and allows businesses to scale workflows across departments and use cases with ease.
Enhanced client communication
Clients often receive dense, jargon-filled reports that are difficult to navigate. Gen AI can turn those into clear summaries, FAQs, or compliance overviews written in plain language. This means clients get faster answers, better visibility, and improved trust—without needing to sift through lengthy documents.
Contextual decision Ssupport
Gen AI helps internal teams move faster by highlighting the information that matters most. In legal workflows, it can surface non-standard clauses. In HR, it can review onboarding documents for completeness. In compliance, it can generate reports that are ready for audit with minimal review—helping teams act with speed and confidence across departments.

Real-World Impact: What the Research Shows
- McKinsey estimates that generative AI could add $2.6 to $4.4 trillion annually in productivity across industries (McKinsey).
- Early adopters of Gen AI in document-heavy industries report cycle times reduced by 30–50%.
- In compliance, AI reduces the time needed for reporting by weeks, turning regulatory responses into real-time processes.
These aren’t incremental gains; they’re transformative.
How to decide: When is Gen AI right for IDP?
Not every workflow needs Gen AI, but the right use cases can unlock significant gains in efficiency, accuracy, and client experience. To evaluate whether your business is ready, consider these four factors:
Volume of unstructured data
If your workflows rely heavily on unstructured or free-form documents—like contracts, applications, or client submissions—Gen AI can make sense of the noise and deliver structured, actionable insights.
Compliance risk
In highly regulated industries, even small oversights can create major problems. Gen AI adds an extra layer of review and validation, helping businesses meet compliance standards without increasing manual effort.
Client experience goals
When speed, clarity, and transparency are priorities, Gen AI helps deliver. From summarizing documents to generating client-friendly updates, it reduces friction and builds trust.
Scaling needs
As businesses grow, workflows need to adapt quickly. Gen AI reduces dependency on manual rules or templates, allowing your systems to evolve alongside your operations.
