Rossum introduces AI agents to automate enterprise paperwork

Rossum, a provider of intelligent document processing (IDP) solutions, has launched specialist AI agents designed to automate enterprise paperwork. The new AI-driven agents aim to streamline complex workflows, reduce manual intervention, and enhance compliance in document-heavy business operations.

Rossum’s AI agents are designed to function as digital assistants capable of understanding and processing paperwork with greater accuracy and efficiency. Unlike generalist AI models, these agents are tailored for specific business functions, such as accounts payable, where they can interpret payment terms, apply conditional approvals, and route documents according to policy.

By automating these processes, Rossum’s system enhances consistency, compliance, and efficiency without requiring IT involvement. Additionally, AI-driven reporting capabilities provide real-time insights into bottlenecks, automation rates, and cost savings, enabling faster financial decision-making.

Rossum’s AI agents introduce four core functionalities:

• Executing procedures and actions: Following standard operating procedures to process and validate documents.
• Performing reasoning tasks: Identifying missing information and inferring necessary data from context.
• Expanding data context: Integrating with enterprise systems to enhance document processing with broader business context.
• Providing business insights: Delivering performance analytics and actionable intelligence on workflow efficiency.

Automating document processing requires a high degree of precision and adherence to regulatory standards. According to Petr Baudis, chief technology officer and cofounder of Rossum, specialist AI agents provide the necessary safeguards that general-purpose models lack.

“Enterprise paperwork processes are inherently complex because they’re designed to keep businesses safe,” said Baudis. “While generalist AI agents may seem like an appealing shortcut, they lack the specific skills, domain expertise, and guardrails needed to handle these workflows reliably.”

Rossum’s AI agents are designed to operate within strict compliance frameworks, ensuring adherence to company policies and industry regulations.

By deploying these AI-powered agents, businesses can:

• Accelerate process automation: Reducing reliance on IT teams for workflow automation.
• Enhance compliance and risk management: Enforcing standardized operating procedures across document transactions.
• Increase productivity: Freeing employees from repetitive administrative tasks to focus on higher-value work.
