LogicalDOC 9.3.1 is Now Available! The new release introduces AI-powered Summarization

2026-10-23T09:08:16+00:00

We are pleased to announce the release of the latest version of our document management platform, featuring significant improvements to the software's underlying technology.

The main highlight is Summarization, a new feature that automatically generates document summaries, helping users quickly identify essential information. This innovation is accompanied by the upgrade to Java 25 and significant updates to the components responsible for database interactions.

Summarization: Understand Documents in Less Time

Business reports, contracts, technical documentation, and internal communications all take time to review, especially when important information needs to be identified quickly within lengthy documents.

With the new Summarization feature, LogicalDOC makes this process easier.

Users can generate a summary of a document's content, highlighting its key points without necessarily having to read every page.

The feature offers two different summarization methods:

- LogicalDOC Summarizer analyzes document content and selects the most representative sentences, preserving the original wording while minimizing repetition. Processing takes place locally, without relying on external AI services.

- ChatGPT Summarizer uses generative artificial intelligence to produce a more conversational summary, rephrasing the concepts contained in the document using natural language.

This flexibility allows users to choose the approach that best suits their needs, from a summary that stays close to the original text to a more fluid reformulation of its content.

The result is a faster, more straightforward way to access information, particularly useful when reviewing large numbers of documents, preparing operational activities, or quickly gaining an overview of a specific topic.

Java 25: An Updated and Reliable Technology Foundation

LogicalDOC 9.3.1 also marks the transition to Java 25, a Long-Term Support (LTS) release that brings improvements to the Java platform in terms of stability, security, and performance.

This upgrade represents an important investment in LogicalDOC's technological foundation and its long-term development.

Keeping underlying technologies up to date is essential to maintaining a reliable document management platform capable of meeting the demands of increasingly complex business environments.

ORM Updates: Improvements in Database Access

Another important area of improvement involves the ORM (Object-Relational Mapping) layer, which consists of the software components that enable LogicalDOC to interact with databases.

The significant updates introduced in this release modernize this part of the application architecture, with the aim of making database access operations more efficient and reliable.

While these improvements may be less visible than a new feature, they are essential to maintaining the overall quality of the platform.

Another Step Forward in LogicalDOC's Evolution

With LogicalDOC 9.3.1, we continue our development journey, combining new intelligent features with ongoing improvements to the underlying technology.

We are particularly pleased with the introduction of Summarization, as it represents another step toward document management that goes beyond simply storing and organizing documents to making the information they contain more accessible and useful.

We invite users to try LogicalDOC 9.3.1 and explore the new possibilities offered by this release.

AI in Document Management: How LogicalDOC Uses Artificial Intelligence to Improve Document Workflows

2026-10-08T08:34:23+00:00

From semantic search to automatic summarization: how AI helps classify, find and understand your documents

Artificial intelligence is becoming an increasingly integral part of document management systems, yet LogicalDOC goes beyond simply adding AI-based features. Our approach integrates models, data, and automation directly into the processes our users use to store, classify, search, and use their documents.
AI capabilities are managed through a suite of components that seamlessly link data preparation, machine learning models, natural language processing, and document automation.

Some examples

A prime example is semantic search. In traditional search, users typically look for documents using words or phrases that must appear—at least in some form—within the indexed content. With embeddings, however, text is transformed into a numerical representation, enabling content comparison based on semantic proximity.

In LogicalDOC, an "Embedding Scheme" links the model used to generate embeddings with the Vector Store that houses them. Documents and search queries are represented within the same vector space, enabling the identification of conceptually similar content even when the same terms are not used.

AI also supports document classification and enrichment.
LogicalDOC’s Fillers enable populating structured data using various strategies. For instance, a document can be assigned tags via a zero-shot model or by comparing its content with already classified, semantically similar documents.

This approach is particularly valuable for large-scale repositories, where much of the work involves not just storing files, but making them easier to identify, organize, and retrieve. Regarding visual document analysis, LogicalDOC can employ YOLO-family object detection models to identify specific elements within images or scanned pages—such as signatures, stamps, logos, tables, or designated document areas. The detected regions can subsequently be processed via OCR and used to populate document attributes.

This architecture also includes automatic content summarization. Specifically, LogicalDOC distinguishes between an extractive approach—which selects the most representative sentences from the original text—and a generative approach based on the ChatGPT API. In the former case, the system uses MiniLM to create semantic representations of sentences and the MMR algorithm to select the most relevant ones while minimizing repetition.

Our goals

A key aspect of LogicalDOC’s design is the flexibility to use different technologies depending on the specific task. Some components can be trained on an organization's own content, while others leverage pre-trained models; some processing tasks run locally, while others rely on external services.
LogicalDOC’s primary goal is not to treat Artificial Intelligence as an element separate from the document management system, but to integrate it where it can genuinely help interpret, organize, and retrieve information more effectively.
From this perspective, document management is shifting away from mere file storage and increasingly toward understanding documents and turning their content into information that drives business processes.

LogicalDOC 9.3: AI-Powered Document Processing, Object Detection and More

2026-08-13T14:27:21+00:00

A document management system should do more than keep information organized. The real value begins when the information contained in documents can be identified, extracted, routed, and used with as little manual intervention as possible.

LogicalDOC 9.3 takes that direction further.

This release introduces new capabilities for AI-assisted document processing, extends communication and security through WhatsApp, and improves how information entering the repository is classified and processed.

Rather than adding isolated features, version 9.3 focuses on a common objective: reducing the number of manual steps between receiving a document and turning its content into usable business information.

Object Detection: AI that understands where information is

One of the most significant additions in LogicalDOC 9.3 is Object Detection, a computer vision capability that identifies and locates specific elements within documents.

Traditional image classification answers a relatively simple question: what does this image represent?

Object Detection goes further. It can identify multiple elements inside the same document and determine their exact position.

In a business document, these elements could include an invoice number, a date, customer or supplier information, totals, logos, signatures, or payment details.

LogicalDOC uses this capability to identify relevant sections of a document before text extraction occurs. OCR can then be applied specifically to the detected regions rather than treating the entire page in the same way.

The result is a more targeted approach to extracting structured information from documents.

LogicalDOC supports Object Detection models based on the YOLO (You Only Look Once) architecture. Organizations can train a YOLO model using their own annotated document datasets and import the resulting model into LogicalDOC. Once configured, it can be used to identify relevant regions in new scanned or digital documents.

This makes the technology particularly relevant for documents with recurring visual structures, including:

invoices;
purchase orders;
forms and applications;
contracts;
shipping documents;
other structured business records.

Detected regions can subsequently be used by OCR engines, AI classifiers, or automation workflows, creating a bridge between visual document recognition and downstream business processes.

See how this works in practice in the video below, where LogicalDOC combines Object Detection, OCR and automatic metadata extraction.

From extracted information to document metadata

Object Detection becomes even more useful when the information it identifies can directly contribute to the document's classification.

LogicalDOC 9.3 introduces automatic filling of extended attributes, further reducing the need to manually enter metadata after a document has been captured. The release extends LogicalDOC’s AI capabilities from analyzing document content to transforming it into structured metadata that can be searched, filtered, and used by other processes.

This fits within LogicalDOC’s broader Filler architecture, where document content can be analyzed to automatically populate properties and metadata. Fillers can also be combined into processing chains and applied manually or via folder policies, making document enrichment part of the normal capture process.

For organizations processing large volumes of repetitive business documents, this is an important shift: the document does not simply enter the repository — it can arrive already prepared for the processes that follow.

See AI-powered document processing in action

The following example shows how LogicalDOC combines Computer Vision, YOLO Object Detection and OCR to identify relevant areas of a document, extract their content and automatically turn that information into structured metadata.

WhatsApp becomes a LogicalDOC communication channel

Not every important notification is best delivered by email.

With version 9.3, WhatsApp can be integrated with LogicalDOC as an additional communication channel, allowing organizations to reach users through an application that is already part of their everyday workflow.

LogicalDOC can now send notifications through a corporate WhatsApp account, including alerts generated by workflows. The integration uses predefined WhatsApp message templates configured through the Meta Business platform.

This can be particularly useful when users are away from their desks, work across different locations, or need to react quickly to an event generated inside the document management system.

A workflow, for example, can trigger a notification that reaches the user directly on WhatsApp rather than relying exclusively on email or in-system messages.

Two-factor authentication through WhatsApp

The WhatsApp integration also extends to security.

LogicalDOC 9.3 can use WhatsApp to deliver the security code required during two-factor authentication (2FA).

This gives administrators another option when configuring authentication procedures and gives users a familiar channel for receiving their second authentication factor.

The change is relatively simple from the user’s perspective. Still, it reflects an important aspect of enterprise document management: security controls are most effective when they can be integrated naturally into the way people actually work.

By combining notifications and authentication into a single integration, WhatsApp becomes more than just another messaging option. It becomes part of the connection between LogicalDOC and its users.

More control over imported emails

Email remains one of the main entry points for business documents, and LogicalDOC 9.3 also improves how those messages are captured.

Administrators can now assign a custom document template to downloaded emails for individual email import inboxes.

This is especially useful when multiple mailboxes serve different business processes.

Incoming messages from a purchasing mailbox, for example, may require different metadata and protocol rules than those for emails received by a customer service or administrative account. Even incoming and outgoing messages handled through the same IMAP account may need to be classified differently.

Instead of applying the same structure to every imported email, organizations can therefore align email capture more closely with the process to which each mailbox belongs.

It is a relatively focused improvement, but one that can make a considerable difference in environments where email is automatically archived or used as an input for document workflows.

A more consistent approach to document capture

Version 9.3 also continues the consolidation of document-processing operations around Fillers.

The previous scheduled tasks dedicated specifically to Zonal OCR and barcode processing are now deprecated in favor of Fillers.

The change is important beyond the interface itself.

Rather than maintaining separate mechanisms for different types of extraction, LogicalDOC is moving toward a more consistent processing model in which different techniques — including OCR, barcode recognition, and AI-assisted extraction — can participate in configurable document capture processes.

That provides a cleaner foundation for building increasingly automated document flows.

LogicalDOC 9.3: less manual work between capture and action

The most interesting aspect of LogicalDOC 9.3 is not any single feature.

It is how the different improvements connect.

A document can enter the repository, have relevant areas identified through Object Detection, have information extracted and used to populate metadata, and then participate in workflows capable of reaching users through channels such as WhatsApp.

At the same time, security mechanisms such as two-factor authentication become easier to integrate into users’ everyday working environment.

This is the direction behind LogicalDOC 9.3: documents should not simply be stored and found. They should become active sources of information for the processes around them.

For organizations dealing with growing document volumes, the objective is straightforward: spend less time interpreting, classifying, and routing information manually, and make the document management system an increasingly active part of the business workflow.

LogicalDOC 9.2.3: More Power, More Intelligence, More Security in Document Management

2026-05-05T09:55:48+00:00

We are pleased to announce the release of LogicalDOC 9.2.3, an update that marks a further step forward in the evolution of our document management platform. This new version introduces significant improvements in performance, security, and technological capabilities.

The goal of LogicalDOC 9.2.3 is to make document management even more efficient and intelligent, enabling companies to optimize processes and reduce manual tasks, while simultaneously improving data quality and information control.

To achieve these results, LogicalDOC has invested in enhancing its artificial intelligence capabilities and in careful research to improve user-friendliness.

Auto-Fill with Fillers

One of the main new features of this release is the introduction of Fillers, advanced tools that allow the automatic compilation of document metadata. These are configurable components used to automatically extract and populate structured information from documents. They define specific data (tags, language, and document classes) and are identified and retrieved from the document content itself. Thanks to this feature, LogicalDOC can analyze file content and automatically assign relevant information such as tags, language, or document class, without the need for manual intervention.

Autofill can be integrated into various operational scenarios: it can be activated manually, applied via predefined actions, or performed completely automatically based on criteria configured at the folder level. This approach allows for standardized document classification, reduced errors, and accelerated workflows.

Greater control with the Impersonation feature

LogicalDOC 9.2.3 also introduces the Impersonation feature, designed to offer greater operational flexibility while maintaining high security standards. This feature allows one user to act on behalf of another, provided explicit authorization has been granted.

Impersonation is particularly useful in support, delegated management, or business continuity scenarios, allowing for rapid intervention on critical tasks without compromising the traceability of actions. The system is configured to ensure rigorous control: the function is disabled by default and can only be activated by explicitly defining authorized users. Furthermore, to ensure maximum system security at all times, LogicalDOC maintains a history of all actions performed during the impersonation phase. All operations can be tracked and their legitimacy easily verified, quickly highlighting any improper use.

An increasingly advanced platform

With this new release, LogicalDOC confirms its commitment to providing an increasingly advanced Document Management solution, capable of integrating intelligent automation and advanced control.

Among the new features, automatic language detection also stands out, improving document organization and searchability in multilingual contexts, making the platform even more suitable for international organizations.

LogicalDOC 9.2.3 also already supports Java 25.

Version 9.2.3 represents a major step forward toward more dynamic, practical, secure, and versatile document management, where artificial intelligence becomes a concrete ally in improving business productivity and efficiency. Try it

2026-01-23T11:30:41+00:00

AI-powered semantic search, multiple languages supported, and maximum security

We are thrilled to announce the release of LogicalDOC 9.2.2, the latest version of our software, which continues to evolve in security, accessibility, and performance. This release introduces concrete improvements designed to make document management even more efficient, intuitive, and ready for an increasingly global business environment.

Semantic Search Enhanced with Artificial Intelligence

[mylightbox src="https://www.logicaldoc.com/images/features/logicaldoc-ai-semantic-search-interface.png" title="AI semantic search interface in LogicalDOC showing intelligent document search results" width="400" height="300"/]

At the heart of version 9.2.2 is the new advanced AI-powered Semantic Search, which allows you to search and find documents without requiring exact keyword matching.

LogicalDOC can now understand the meaning and intent of your searches.
Thanks to embeddings and artificial intelligence functions, documents are identified even when they are expressed with different but conceptually similar terms. Searches become faster, more relevant, and more contextual; users find the right information more quickly, improving productivity and the quality of their work.

Expanded Multilingual Support

LogicalDOC 9.2.2 strengthens its international reach with significantly expanded multilingual user interface support.
Language support not only means translating the user interface, but also the ability to appropriately manage documents using specialized indexing algorithms for the current language in use.
LogicalDOC now offers new strategic localizations, including Chinese, Hindi, and Amharic, to the list of numerous languages already available.
This is a key step for global organizations and distributed teams, who can now work on a single platform, in their own language, without barriers. Expanding support for an ever-increasing number of languages is not just a simple update; it represents LogicalDOC's desire to be ever closer to its users and support them more efficiently in their work, wherever they are!

Improved performance, enhanced security, and a more personalized user experience

The new release introduces many other performance optimizations that make the system more responsive and stable, even in complex environments or with large document volumes.
Faster loading times, smoother operations, and an overall improved user experience.

Custom report functions have been further improved with more granular access controls. Administrators can now limit user visibility to only explicitly authorized reports, reducing the risk of unwanted access to sensitive data. With the new release, management becomes more secure and adheres to the principles of least privilege and data governance.

Concurrent session management for improved fairness of use
With the new concurrent session quota per user, administrators can define how many simultaneous work sessions each user is authorized to open. This setting helps prevent excessive resource use by a single account, preventing too many slots from being occupied at the expense of other users. The result is a more balanced, high-performance, and accessible system for all team members.

More advanced controls over document classes
LogicalDOC allows you to define document types, also called document classes, and reusable libraries of custom metadata. When you upload or edit a document, you can assign a document class and specify values for its attributes.
In the new LogicalDOC 9.9.2 version, administrators can now associate an automation script that runs when the user confirms changes to the document. The script verifies the data's accuracy, detects any errors or inconsistencies, and returns them to the user clearly, allowing them to correct them before final saving. This approach helps prevent errors upstream, standardize documents, and ensure greater consistency and reliability of the stored information.

Conclusion

LogicalDOC 9.2.2 is not just a technical update, but a strategic release that combines artificial intelligence, international openness, and enterprise reliability.
Discover all the details and start taking advantage of the new features now by updating to version 9.2.2.
