What is Lido?
Lido is an AI-powered document processing platform that extracts structured data from any document and converts it into Excel, Google Sheets, or CSV. It works with PDFs, scans, images, and emails without requiring templates or manual data entry. The platform supports invoices, receipts, bank statements, purchase orders, medical forms, tax documents, bills of lading, contracts, and handwritten documents in any language or currency.
Key features include 99% extraction accuracy without templates, <5 minutes to process your first document, and 90% less manual data entry. Lido uses AI models that read documents contextually like a human would, identifying fields and tables regardless of format or layout. The platform offers batch uploads, email forwarding with dedicated workspace addresses, API integration for automated workflows, and validation against internal systems. Output formats include Excel (.xlsx), CSV, API JSON, and clipboard copy.
Lido is designed for finance and operations teams, accounting departments, real estate professionals, healthcare organizations, logistics companies, and SMBs handling document-heavy workflows. It's ideal for accounts payable teams processing invoices, expense reporting with receipts, bank statement reconciliation, lease abstraction in real estate, and medical claims processing. The tool helps teams scale operations without adding headcount and eliminates tedious manual data entry.
Enterprise-grade security includes SOC 2 Type 2 certification, HIPAA compliance, data encryption in transit and at rest, 23-hour automatic data retention, and no model training on customer data. The platform achieves 99%+ accuracy on structured documents versus 50-90% for legacy OCR, with 1-hour implementation versus 4-8 weeks for traditional solutions.

Frequently asked questions about Lido
What is Lido?
Lido is an AI-powered document processing platform that extracts structured data from any document and converts it into Excel, Google Sheets, or CSV. It works with PDFs, scans, images, and emails — no templates or manual data entry required. Lido supports invoices, receipts, bank statements, purchase orders, medical forms, and any other document type.
What types of documents can Lido process?
Lido processes any document type including invoices, receipts, bank statements, purchase orders, tax forms, medical claims, bills of lading, contracts, and handwritten documents. It handles PDFs, scanned images, photos, Word files, and email attachments in any language or currency.
Do I need to set up templates for each document type?
No. Lido uses AI-powered extraction that reads and understands document layouts on the fly. You describe the fields you want in plain English and Lido finds them regardless of where they appear on the page. This works across different vendors, formats, and layouts without any template configuration.
How accurate is Lido's data extraction?
Lido achieves 99%+ accuracy on structured documents like invoices and receipts. Its AI reads documents contextually rather than relying on fixed templates, so accuracy stays high even across different formats and layouts. Reference lists and custom validation rules can further improve accuracy for specialized document types.
Can Lido handle documents from multiple vendors with different layouts?
Yes. Lido processes documents from any vendor or source in a single workflow. Whether you receive invoices from 5 suppliers or 500, each with a different layout, Lido extracts the same fields consistently. There is no per-vendor setup and no need to train the system on new formats.
How does Lido extract line items from tables?
Lido detects tables in your documents automatically and extracts each row as structured data. You define the columns you need, such as description, quantity, unit price, and total, and Lido maps each row to those fields. The extracted line items export directly to Excel or CSV with one row per line item.
Can I automate document intake with email forwarding?
Yes. Every Lido workspace includes a dedicated email address. Forward or auto-route emails to that address and Lido extracts data from the PDF attachments automatically. This eliminates manual uploading entirely and works with any email provider or forwarding rule you already have in place.
What output formats does Lido support?
Lido exports extracted data as Excel (.xlsx) or CSV files. You can download exports directly, connect via API for automated workflows, or copy structured data to your clipboard. The exported spreadsheet matches your defined columns exactly, ready to import into your ERP, accounting software, or database.
Is Lido secure and HIPAA compliant?
Yes. Lido is SOC 2 Type 2 certified and HIPAA compliant. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Documents are automatically deleted after 23 hours, and Lido never uses customer data to train its AI models. Lido is trusted by healthcare organizations, financial services firms, and law firms handling sensitive data.
