Unlock the Power of Pega Document AI: Your Complete Guide to Pega Infinity 26
Pega Document AI, a feature built to automatically extract structured information from unstructured business documents.
Instead of manually reviewing invoices, application forms, identity documents, or supporting evidence, Pega Document AI analyzes the document, identifies the relevant fields, and converts them into structured data ready to use directly inside a Pega case. For organizations looking to reduce manual document handling and speed up case processing, this is a significant step forward in Pega’s low-code AI strategy.
Pega Document AI Demo Covers
This step-by-step demo of Pega Document AI walks through:
- Configuring Document AI in Pega Infinity 26
- Creating and setting up a Pega Document AI component
- Uploading a business document into Pega for processing
- Running Pega’s AI-powered document extraction
- Reviewing the extracted fields for accuracy
- Mapping extracted values directly into the Pega case
- The full end-to-end flow within Pega, from document upload to structured, usable data
The goal is simple: show how quickly Pega Document AI can be configured with minimal setup effort while integrating seamlessly into a standard Pega case workflow.

Why Pega Document AI matters for Pega Applications
Manual document review remains one of the biggest bottlenecks in case processing across industries — and Pega is solving it natively. Common examples where Pega Document AI adds value include:
- Loan applications
- Customer onboarding documents
- Government forms
- Insurance claims
- Identity verification documents
- Financial statements
- Supporting evidence and attachments
Pega Document AI automates this critical first step, letting case processing begin far sooner while cutting down on manual effort and human error.
Because Pega Document AI is natively embedded in the Pega platform, the data it extracts can immediately drive:
- Pega case routing
- Pega business rules
- Pega decisioning
- Pega workflow automation
- Pega Agentic AI experiences
- Downstream system integrations via Pega
This reflects a broader theme across the Pega platform in Pega Infinity 26: AI isn’t bolted on as a standalone tool — Pega weaves it directly into intelligent workflow and case automation.
Confidence Scores in Pega Document AI (Available from Pega Infinity 26.1.1)
While this demo focuses primarily on configuring Pega Document AI and the end-to-end extraction flow, it’s worth calling out an important related Pega capability: confidence scores, available starting in Pega Infinity 26.1.1.
Pega’s confidence scores indicate how certain the AI model is about each extracted field value, and within Pega they can be used to:
- Automatically accept high-confidence extractions
- Route low-confidence fields for human review inside Pega
- Improve overall operational efficiency across Pega case types
- Increase trust in AI-assisted document processing on the Pega platform
For organizations building human-in-the-loop governance into their Pega-powered automation, confidence scoring is a key control point — helping teams strike the right balance between automation speed and accuracy, all within Pega.
Key Takeaways: Pega Document AI in Pega Infinity 26
After watching the demo, you’ll know how to:
- Configure Pega Document AI in Pega Infinity 26
- Process business documents using Pega’s AI-powered extraction
- Convert unstructured documents into structured, Pega-ready data
- Integrate extracted information directly into Pega case processing
- Apply Pega confidence scores (from 26.1.1 onward) for smarter validation and review routing
Final Thoughts
Pega Document AI dramatically reduces the effort needed to turn unstructured documents into actionable business data. With native integration into Pega Infinity 26, organizations can accelerate case processing, improve data quality, and enable smarter automation — all within the Pega platform and without relying on complex custom integrations.
