    Quick Launch
    The Articul8 Table Understanding Agent is GenAI based agent not only extracts tables from PDFs and images but understands their logical structure, turning unstructured content into analysis-ready data.

    Overview

    Articul8 Table Understanding Agent is a lightweight, production-ready GenAI agent that transforms dense, unstructured documents into clean, machine-readable table data in seconds. Designed for enterprises that depend on PDFs, reports, scanned images, and operational documents, the agent uses multimodal GenAI to interpret tables, not just extract them, returning structured outputs in a standardized list-of-lists format ready for analytics pipelines, downstream systems, or other AI agents. Powered by advanced layout-parsing and GenAI table-reasoning models, the agent accurately reconstructs rows, columns, merged cells, and hierarchies, even in noisy scans, multi-table pages, or irregular formats. It handles processing entirely in memory and securely discards files after each request, supporting strict enterprise privacy, governance, and regulatory requirements. Built on scalable, AWS-native infrastructure with multi-tenancy, usage-based billing, and low operational overhead, Articul8 Table Understanding Agent allows organizations to automate reporting workflows, accelerate research and audit processes, enrich compliance reviews, and unlock structured insights from their document landscape, without building or maintaining a custom document-processing stack.

    Highlights

    • Multimodal GenAI Table Understanding: Accurately detects, interprets, and reconstructs complex tables from PDFs, reports, and scanned images, producing clean, structured data ready for downstream workflows.
    • Enterprise-grade Accuracy & Governance: Rebuilds rows, columns, merged cells, and hierarchies, even in noisy or irregular documents, while processing entirely in memory and discarding files after each request to meet strict privacy and compliance requirements.
    • AWS-native Scalability with Zero Maintenance: Delivered as a lightweight, production-ready agent with multi-tenancy and usage-based billing, enabling organizations to automate research, reporting, and compliance pipelines without owning a document-processing stack.

    Vendor refund policy

    Articul8 bills based on the number of successfully extracted tables, not the number of API calls.

    Requests that return zero tables are not billed.

    Failed, incomplete, or misclassified extractions are excluded from billing, and refunds or credits may be issued if a table was incorrectly counted.

    Articul8 Table Understanding Agent

    The Articul8 Table Understanding Agent is a GenAI-powered document-processing service that extracts structured tables from PDF files and images. Built as a lightweight, secure microservice, it converts unstructured documents into clean, machine-readable table formats for analytics, automation, and multi-agent workflows.

    Using document layout analysis and multimodal models, the agent performs real-time table detection and extraction, returning each table as a canonical list-of-lists structure. Results are streamed as they are generated, enabling low-latency processing even for large or multi-table documents.

    Key Benefits

    • Automated table extraction from PDFs and images
    • Standardized list-of-lists JSON output for direct pipeline ingestion
    • In-memory processing with no persistent storage
    • Synchronous REST API with predictable latency
    • Seamless integration with downstream agents and automation tools

    Quick Start

    Step 1: Authenticate

    All requests must include:

    Authorization: Bearer <your_token>

    Step 2: Send a POST Request

    Upload your file as multipart form-data. Supported formats: .pdf, .png, .jpg, .jpeg.

    Processing begins immediately and runs synchronously.

    Step 3: Receive Streamed or Synchronous Output

    Returns:

    • Number of tables
    • Each table as list-of-lists JSON
    • Table metadata (page, region, row/column counts)
    • Base64-encoded ZIP of CSVs (one per table)
    • Progress events during extraction

    If no tables are found:

    { "success": true, "data": { "table_count": 0, "tables": [] } }

    Extraction Endpoint

    POST /v1/table-understanding-agent/extract-tables

    Required Headers

    Authorization: Bearer <your_token> tenant-id: <your_tenant_id> user-id: <your_user_id>

    Example Request

    curl -k -X POST \ '<https://agents-api.articul8.ai/v1/table-understanding-agent/extract-tables>' \ -H 'apikey: <your_api_key>' \ -H 'tenant-id: test-tenant' \ -H 'user-id: test-user' \ -F 'file=@sample.png'

    Streaming (SSE) Output

    The agent uses Server-Sent Events, streaming each extraction step:

    • progress_update — emitted as processing advances
    • table_extracted — one event per table, including content and metadata
    • complete — final event containing all tables, processing time, status, and Base64 ZIP
    • error — sent if extraction fails; no further events follow

    Large documents may take longer depending on page count, table density, and scan quality.

    Examples

    progress_update

    event: progress_update data: { "current_step": "image_processing_started", "type": "progress_update" }

    table_extracted

    event: table_extracted data: { "table": [["GRADE","STANDARD"],["50","AMS 3302"]], "table_rows": 2, "table_cols": 2, "table_index": 1 }

    complete

    Includes keys like:

    "csv_zip_base64": "<Base64 ZIP>", "csv_zip_filename": "document_tables.zip"

    error

    { "type": "error", "message": "Unsupported file format" }

    CSV ZIP Archive

    Each extraction produces:

    • One CSV per table
    • Filenames: {base_filename}_table_{i}.csv
    • Final archive: {base_filename}_tables.zip

    Returned as Base64 in the final event:

    "csv_zip_base64": "UEsDBBQAAAAI...", "csv_zip_filename": "sample_tables.zip"

    Clients must decode, save, and unzip.

    Best Practices

    • Validate file size and type before upload
    • Ensure adequate client timeout for large documents
    • Process streamed tables incrementally
    • Decode CSV ZIP only after receiving the final event
