# feld.ai — Sovereign AI Document Processing Platform

> EU-hosted intelligent document processing. No US cloud. Your data trains only your model.

## Company

feld.ai builds an AI platform for intelligent document processing (IDP). The company is based in Europe and operates its own GPU infrastructure in Austria. No US cloud provider is involved in data processing — no Azure, no AWS, no GCP. This means no exposure to the US CLOUD Act or FISA 702. feld.ai is designed for organizations that require data sovereignty: tax advisors, law firms, reinsurers, logistics companies, and manufacturers.

## Product Overview

feld.ai is a B2B AI platform that automates the processing of business documents end-to-end:

1. **Ingestion**: Documents arrive via email, scan, upload, or API (PDF, image, Excel, Word, email body)
2. **Classification**: AI identifies document type (invoice, contract, certificate, customs form, etc.) from 50+ categories
3. **Extraction**: Structured data is extracted — header fields, line items, tables, handwriting — with 96%+ accuracy on header fields
4. **Validation**: Extracted data is matched against master data (suppliers, accounts, cost centers) and business rules
5. **Human-in-the-Loop**: Uncertain extractions are flagged for manual review; corrections feed back into model training (your data trains only your own model)
6. **Integration**: Validated data flows into ERP, accounting, DMS, or custom systems via REST API or file export (webhooks available 2026)

### Key Differentiators

- **EU sovereignty**: Own GPU servers in Austria. No US cloud. GDPR-compliant by architecture, not by contract.
- **Visual grounding**: Every extracted value is traced back to the exact location in the original document, visually highlighted.
- **No templates**: AI-based extraction works on unseen document layouts without manual configuration.
- **Agentic processing**: The platform processes incoming documents automatically and escalates only when human judgment is needed.
- **Multi-language**: Supports 50+ languages for document processing.
- **Multi-format**: PDF, scans, Excel, Word, email, fax — all input channels.

## Platform Architecture

- **Homepage**: https://feld.ai/en/ — Product overview and value proposition
- **Platform page**: https://feld.ai/en/platform — Technical architecture, sovereignty model, and agent foundation
- **Last-mile processing**: https://feld.ai/en/platform/last-mile-processing — Correction UX, data isolation, and continuous model improvement

The platform operates as an agentic system: documents are ingested, classified, extracted, validated, and routed without manual intervention. Human review is triggered only for low-confidence extractions or business rule violations.
