According to @DeepLearningAI, the new course 'Document AI: From OCR to Agentic Doc Extraction' developed with LandingAI introduces Agentic Document Extraction (ADE), which surpasses traditional OCR by enabling AI models to interpret documents as visual objects. This approach allows extraction of structured data, including tables, charts, and reading order, outputting formats like Markdown and JSON mapped to specific regions on the page. The course, taught by David Park and Andrea Kropp, demonstrates practical applications of ADE for business automation, document analytics, and workflow integration, offering significant efficiency improvements over legacy OCR solutions (source: @DeepLearningAI, Jan 14, 2026).
