Start with Azure AI Document Intelligence for well-defined forms and simple workflows if you have a latency sensitive workload and need to rely on the consistency of the outputs. Move to Azure AI Content Understanding for reasoning, multi-format content, or complex business logic. Both services have grounding and confidence scores for quality.

Leverage Azure OpenAI Service for custom, experimental, or conversational AI workflows where managed services aren’t a fit. Layout from Document Intelligence or Content Understanding can be leveraged as preprocessing service for all input documents.
