What is Extend?

Extend is a document processing platform for AI teams that parses, extracts, classifies, splits and edits documents. It handles 35+ file types and 100+ languages, and the vendor says it processes millions of pages daily.

Key capabilities of Extend

• Parse: turns unstructured documents into structured data using layout detection and vision models
• Extract: pulls data into custom schemas, supports 1,000+ page files and returns bounding box citations
• Split: separates multi-document files into individual documents
• Classify: sorts documents into predefined categories
• Edit: detects and fills form fields such as checkboxes, signatures and tables
• Studio and evaluation: workflows and an evaluation suite to test accuracy

How Extend works

Extend combines computer vision with vision-language models and routes document elements to specialized models, with modes tuned for speed, cost or accuracy. Developers call it through REST APIs and SDKs for Python, TypeScript, Java and Go, plus a CLI, and can use it from MCP clients such as Cursor and Claude Code.
