What is Bitskout?
Bitskout is a UNESCO-awarded AI-powered SaaS platform that enables users to create no-code plugins for extracting data from documents, images, emails, and text, then automatically adding that information to tools like monday.com, Asana, Zapier, Power Automate, Make, Jira, and Airtable. The platform democratizes AI access by allowing non-technical users to automate repetitive data entry tasks in minutes without requiring any coding, ML knowledge, or IT support.
The tool offers 40+ ready-made templates for common documents including invoices, purchase orders, CVs, business cards, bank statements, and bills of lading. Users can also create custom plugins by providing a few examples of their own documents to Bitskout AI. The plugins automatically extract key data fields, work 24/7, and integrate seamlessly into existing workflows, enabling teams to get instant answers about processed data like vendor payments or account usage.
Bitskout is designed for operation and project teams in SMBs and small teams (2-10 people) across accounting, logistics, marketing, legal, HR, and supply chain sectors. It helps teams save over 5 hours per week by automating low-level administrative work, allowing talent to focus on meaningful strategic tasks instead of manual data typing. The platform supports Asian languages including Japanese and Chinese, making it suitable for worldwide audiences.
Key capabilities include email-to-checklist conversion (creating data collection portals from emails), line item extraction as CSV for sub-items, support for PDF and common image formats including scanned PDFs, and the ability to get instant answers about operational data through Bitskout agents. The setup time is typically 3-10 minutes for first successful extraction using existing templates.
