SwissDocAI
SwissDocAI is a document processing platform built specifically for Swiss businesses, offering AI-powered OCR, classification, and data extraction. It provides an intuitive web interface for non-technical users to upload documents via drag-and-drop, automatically classify them (e.g., invoices, contracts, forms), and extract structured data such as amounts, dates, and names. Extracted data can be exported in CSV, Excel, or JSON formats. The platform supports multiple languages including German, French, Italian, and English, catering to Switzerland's multilingual environment. Beyond the web platform, SwissDocAI offers a REST API for developers to integrate document processing capabilities directly into existing ERP, accounting, or archive systems. The API supports bearer token authentication, file uploads (PDF, PNG, JPG), and webhooks for event-driven workflows. Additionally, a batch processing service handles large volumes of documents for digitization projects, archive migrations, or seasonal peaks. A standout feature is its strict adherence to Swiss data protection laws (DSG/GDPR). All processing is done on Swiss infrastructure, and documents are only stored temporarily during processing before being irrevocably deleted. Data transmission is encrypted via TLS 1.3, and no client data is used for AI model training. The platform achieves high OCR accuracy, scoring 87.01 on the OmniDocBench benchmark, outperforming many competitors. SwissDocAI is positioned as a secure, local alternative to global services like Google Document AI, AWS Textract, and Azure Document Intelligence. It offers scalable pricing plans from a free tier (10 pages/day) to premium tiers supporting thousands of pages per month, making it suitable for small offices to large enterprises.

Problem solved
Many Swiss small and medium enterprises (SMEs) need to automate the extraction of data from documents such as invoices, forms, and contracts, but are concerned about data privacy and compliance with Swiss and EU data protection regulations. International cloud document AI services often process and store data outside Switzerland, creating legal risks. SwissDocAI solves this by providing a fully Swiss-hosted solution that automatically classifies documents and extracts structured data, ensuring data never leaves the country and is deleted immediately after processing.
