Great question! While both Document Intelligence and Content Understanding are valuable, they serve different needs:
- Document Intelligence is ideal when you need to extract structured data from forms or tables.
- Content Understanding (CU) is designed for extracting structure data, but also extends to deeper analysis—understanding meaning, themes, and context across unstructured content like documents, images, and video.
If you're looking to unlock more insight across varied content types, CU is the better fit—especially as we're actively investing in cutting-edge generative AI features to enrich semantic search, summarization, and multimodal analysis.
