Reducto

What is Reducto?

Reducto is a document processing platform that turns PDFs, scans, spreadsheets, and slides into clean structured data for AI apps. Its APIs parse, extract, split, classify, and edit documents, with citations and bounding boxes for every value. The new r-1 parse model cuts errors by about 20 percent while charging one cent per page.

Top Features:

• Parse API: converts PDFs and spreadsheets into structured JSON ready for LLM pipelines.
• Extract API: returns typed fields with citations and bounding boxes for easy checking.
• Studio: a no-code workspace for building and testing document pipelines with teammates.

Use Cases:

• Financial filings: pull tables and figures from dense reports into clean spreadsheets.
• RAG pipelines: prepare chunked, citation-ready text so chatbots answer from company documents.
• Claims processing: split and classify mixed document packets before routing them to teams.

Who Can Use Reducto?

• AI engineers: feed accurate document data into agents, search, and retrieval systems.
• Operations teams: automate manual data entry from invoices, forms, and scanned paperwork.
• Regulated industries: process sensitive files with zero data retention, BAA, and on-prem options.

Pricing

• Standard (free credits): includes 150 dollars of free usage, then pay per page processed.
• Growth (contact sales): volume discounts, zero data retention, BAA, priority support, and EU hosting.
• Enterprise (contact sales): private cloud or on-prem deployment, SSO, custom SLAs, and dedicated support.
