See what an agent can do with Mistral Document AI before you ever sign up. Pick a story: recorded sessions replay real probe-harness transcripts; commands tagged live-capable can re-run against the real endpoint from our edge, right now (▶ run live — the exact same request, live and recorded lines always labeled); sandboxed self-drive sessions are designed and gated (docs/TRY-IT.md).

Opportunities — the stories that would move this product's scores, from its own judged verdictsOpportunitiestop 8 of 37 stories with headroom
What would move Mistral Document AI’s scores — derived from its own judged verdicts, biggest headroom first. Each line quotes what the judge found missing; shipping it (or evidencing it publicly) is the fix.
Scale async — stories about scale async in this arenaLong parses run as async jobs with status polling and completion webhooks, so my pipeline never blocks
nonemoves PA Scoreimpact 30
No evidence anywhere in the docs pack of async job submission, status polling endpoints, or completion webhooks for Document AI OCR/annotation calls; the API appears to be synchronous (request/response), and one community report notes 900-page documents caused a timeout rather than being handled as a background job.
Deployment compliance — stories about deployment compliance in this arenaUploaded documents get zero-retention handling with SOC 2 and HIPAA options, so I can process contracts and medical records
nonemoves PA Scoreimpact 30
Evidence only shows generic marketing language about 'compliance-first organizations' and a 'Trust Center' link, with no concrete mention of zero-retention data handling, SOC 2 certification, or HIPAA compliance options for the Document AI product specifically.
Privacy posture — data-handling and privacy storiesPrevent my data from being used to train AI models
nonemoves PA Scoreimpact 30
Missing: explicit training-data opt-out policy, retention/data-use terms for API calls, independent confirmation of no-training defaults.
Sdk dx — stories about sdk dx in this arenaOfficial typed SDKs for Python and TypeScript cover the full API — parse, extract, jobs — with sensible defaults
nonemoves PA Scoreimpact 30
Missing: any mention of SDK packages, typed client libraries, installation/import examples, or SDK-specific defaults.
Agenticness — how well agents can access and operate the productSet up automations that run autonomously in the background
nonemoves Built-in AIimpact 30
The evidence pack covers only synchronous OCR/document-extraction capabilities (text extraction, annotations, Q&A) with no mention of scheduling, triggers, webhooks, or any mechanism for autonomous background automation runs.
Agenticness — how well agents can access and operate the productUse an official CLI
nonemoves agent-readyimpact 30
Evidence shows only official Python/TypeScript SDKs and a REST API for Document AI; there is no mention of an official CLI tool anywhere in the docs or community evidence.
Agenticness — how well agents can access and operate the productBuild against official SDKs
nonemoves agent-readyimpact 30
The evidence pack covers Document AI's OCR/annotation/QnA features and API endpoint details but contains no mention of official SDKs (Python, JS/TS, etc.) for building against Document AI — this is an applicable axis for an API product but no supporting evidence exists in the pack.
Agenticness — how well agents can access and operate the productSubscribe to events via webhooks
nonemoves agent-readyimpact 30
No evidence anywhere in the pack of webhook support or event subscription for Document AI; documentation covers OCR, annotations, and Q&A only, with no mention of webhooks or event-driven notifications.
