Try IDP Forge

Top 3 Reasons Why High-Performing Developers Choose Infrrd’s IDP Forge

Proven Accuracy Before Deployment

Developers can upload labelled documents, run their pipeline, and measure field-level precision, recall, F1 scores, and confidence metrics. This lets them know exactly how their extraction pipeline will perform before it reaches production.

Backed by Enterprise Recognition and Patented Features

IDP Forge is built on Infrrd's core IDP platform, which has been recognized as a Leader in multiple analyst evaluations for IDP solutions and is backed by 12+ granted patents and 30+ analyst recognitions.

Custom Flexibility with LLM Models and API Keys

IDP Forge routes each pipeline stage to the best-fit LLM model instead of settling for one-size-fits-all. Developers can also bring their own LLM provider keys and agreements to keep billing, data terms, and control fully in-house.

Data extraction API built to give you the cleanest RAG input

Here’s what Infrrd IDP Forge delivers:

  • One API Doing the Job of an Entire Tech Stack

    Skip building custom pipelines from scratch. IDP Forge brings Parse, Extract, Split, and Edit together in a single platform.

  • Confidence Scores That Hold Up Under Scrutiny

    Every field extracted comes with a dependable confidence score — consistent across any document type or format, so accuracy is never left to chance.

  • Extraction You Can Trace, Field by Field

    Build on data you can verify, not just trust. Every value IDP Forge pulls out comes with its exact source attached — page reference, bounding box, confidence score, and field-level provenance.

  • One Schema Handles Every Document Variation

    No more rebuilding templates each time a layout shifts. Set your schema once with IDP Forge, and it adapts across even the most complex document formats.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Evaluation Mode?

Evaluation Mode lets you run ground-truth tests against your own labeled data and get back an F1 report, so you can validate accuracy on your actual document types before deploying a pipeline to production — rather than relying only on general benchmark numbers.

Who is IDP Forge for?

Primarily developer teams building document pipelines, RAG systems, or AI agents that need reliable structured output from documents — rather than back-office teams looking for a no-code review-and-approval workstation.

What is IDP Forge?

IDP Forge is a document AI platform built for developers who need to turn unstructured documents — PDFs, scans, forms, contracts — into structured, machine-usable data. It's built around a Parse API (document → structured JSON/markdown) and an Extract API (schema-based field extraction), with additional Split and Classify capabilities for routing mixed document batches.

How is IDP Forge different from a traditional IDP tool?

Traditional IDP platforms are built around human review queues, validation workflows, and case management. IDP Forge is API-first: it's designed to be embedded directly into software and AI pipelines, with a developer-facing evaluation and confidence-scoring layer instead of manual review stations.

What are per-field confidence scores?

IDP Forge returns a confidence score for each extracted field, not just an overall document-level score. This lets you build auto-approval workflows where high-confidence fields pass through automatically and low-confidence fields get flagged for review.
