AI Q&A with verifiable citations, not just field extraction

Google Document AI Limitations

Requires Google Cloud Platform account and expertise
API-only — no visual interface for end users to interact with documents
No AI Q&A — limited to structured extraction from predefined document types
No cross-document analysis or conversational interface
Pay-per-page pricing can become expensive at scale without careful monitoring
