Document Triage
The classification and routing of incoming documents (clinical letters, legal correspondence, customer requests) by topic, urgency, and required action, with the AI handling routine cases and escalating exceptions.
How it works
Document triage is the workload pattern we see most often in NHS Trusts, professional services firms, and customer-service operations. Letters, emails, and referrals arrive at volume. A specialist (clinician, lawyer, ops manager) has to read each one, decide what it is, and route it. The cognitive load of working through the pile crowds out the genuinely-difficult cases. Document triage AI does the working-through: classifies each item by type and urgency, extracts the structured fields needed for routing, and posts a recommended next action with full audit context. The specialist retains decision authority and reviews exceptions. Typical capacity recovered is 60 to 80 percent of previous specialist time. Ayoob AI ships document triage into NHS Leeds Trusts, UK law firms, and customer-service operations.
