Sensible is a document-automation API platform that extracts structured data from PDFs, images, spreadsheets, and emails using a hybrid of deterministic layout-based methods and LLM-based query methods. SenseML, Sensible's config language, lets engineers declare what to pull and where. The platform ships with 150+ open-source pre-built configurations across financial services, insurance, logistics, real estate, and healthcare. Sensible exposes sync and async extraction, classification, portfolio segmentation, CSV/Excel export, human review, coverage statistics, configuration versioning, and webhook delivery, all behind a bearer-auth REST surface plus a Postman collection, an MCP server, and Python / JavaScript SDKs.

portfolio (multi-document) extractions, CSV and Excel output, `/extractions` listing and `/documents/{id}`
retrieval, daily coverage statistics, and review auth-token issuance for human-in-the-loop workflows. All
endpoints are bearer-auth and webhook-capable.
