Agentic Document Extraction: How The CoBuilders and SCRUB Are Turning Paperwork Into Action

As AI evolves from passive tools into proactive systems, a new wave of innovation is emerging—agentic document extraction. While companies like Landing AI are just beginning to spotlight this concept, here at The CoBuilders, we’re already building practical solutions that put this next-gen AI to work for everyday professionals—especially cleaners and janitorial teams.

Through our in-house AI assistant, SCRUB, we’re not just extracting data from documents. We’re helping cleaners act on it.

What Is Agentic Document Extraction?

Most document AI tools today are glorified scanners—they extract text from invoices, PDFs, and contracts, but offer little understanding or follow-up.

Agentic document extraction, on the other hand, takes AI to the next level:

• It understands the context of the document
• It aligns extraction with the user’s goal
• And most importantly—it takes action

Imagine this: instead of just showing you an invoice total, SCRUB alerts you that a client underpaid, suggests a follow-up message, and drafts it for your approval. That’s the difference between a passive AI and an agentic assistant.

What Landing AI Is Saying — and What We’re Already Doing

Landing AI has started promoting agentic document extraction in the enterprise world—especially in vision-based, image-heavy industries. Their direction is promising, but often feels out of reach for small service businesses and sole proprietors.

At The CoBuilders, our focus is different: we’re building tools that solve real problems for cleaners, janitors, and facility teams—not just IT departments.

Through SCRUB, we’ve already introduced:

• Missed invoice detection
• PDF quote extraction
• Contract summarization
• Proposal generation and reminders

All powered by smart prompts, goal-oriented design, and our Model Context Protocol (MCP)—the system that helps SCRUB know what to prioritize, when, and why.

Why It Matters for Cleaners and Contractors

The U.S. cleaning industry generates over $150 billion in annual revenue. Yet many operators—especially independents—are still buried in paperwork and admin tasks.

By automating the document side of the business, we help cleaners:

• Get paid faster
• Avoid missed opportunities
• Reduce admin headaches
• Spend more time serving clients

This isn’t abstract AI theory. It’s real automation for real people, doing real work.

What’s Coming Next

Our roadmap for SCRUB includes:

• Autonomous contract reviews with alerts
• Integration with email, SMS, and vendor portals
• Proposal assistants that learn from past documents
• End-to-end workflows from quote to contract to invoice

And we’re continuing to test integrations with tools like Landing AI, OpenAI, and others—so SCRUB can offer more insight and more impact, without overwhelming the user.

In Summary

The future of document AI isn’t just extraction—it’s empowerment. While big tech players discuss what’s possible, The CoBuilders is delivering what’s practical.

We’re giving independent professionals the power to move faster, smarter, and with more confidence—one document at a time.
