Where AI Meets Clarity

ABBYY’s Ascend 2025.1 showcased recent and upcoming product releases across its Document and Process AI portfolio, highlighting innovations that drive automation and measurable business value. Key announcements included the availability of Process AI for Consulting for project-based use, IDP Analytics for actionable insights and ROI tracking, and a Business Value Assessment tool to evaluate the impact of process intelligence. The event also stressed the importance of combining LLMs with structured IDP outputs for accuracy and compliance. Additionally, we also spotlighted ABBYY’s commitment to developers, showcasing the Document AI API and tools that enable agentic automation and scalable, AI-powered solutions tailored to real-world business needs.

Process AI offers advanced process mining and task mining technology, developed with the latest Al. Automatically build an interactive “digital twin” of an organization’s processes, enabling you to analyze process execution in real time, identify bottlenecks, and predict future outcomes. With full operational visibility, enterprises are empowered to make data-led decisions for optimization.

Generative AI is expanding what’s possible in automation — enabling tasks that were once too complex to automate and reducing the burden on employees. Large Language Models (LLMs) bring powerful capabilities for reasoning, summarizing, and decision support, opening new opportunities for smarter, more responsive workflows. But to deliver reliable results in business-critical processes, they need to be grounded in structured, validated data. That’s where ABBYY Document AI plays a crucial role. By combining the strengths of LLMs with purpose-built document processing, organizations can achieve more accurate, scalable automation — delivering innovation without compromising trust or compliance.

We unveiled major platform updates focused on agility, security, and developer empowerment. A new product lifecycle introduces continuous delivery for cloud users and structured release cycles for on-prem customers, improving change management and responsiveness. Vantage 3.0 (currently in technical preview) brings smarter skill training, redaction, improved OCR, and enhanced analytics, while FlexiCapture and FineReader Engine updates focus on performance, localization, and long-term stability. Timeline 6.1.4 enhances enterprise-scale data analysis with better filtering, calendar accuracy, and complex metric creation. Looking ahead, we will further streamline the integration of its synergetic Document AI and Process AI portfolio into a cohesive framework. Additionally, ABBYY is focusing on an API-first approach, prioritizing developer access, extensibility, and robust documentation.
