Extend adds document-fraud checks to the workflows its agents already read

Extend launched Verify on October 19th, an API that checks documents for signs of fraud before software agents use them to approve loans, release payments or make other decisions, CEO and co-founder Kushal Byatnal announced in a thread on X. Extend says Verify is designed to sit alongside the document parsing and extraction tools the company already sells, flagging synthetic documents and post-signature edits. Verify's reported 96.3% recall comes from a private internal benchmark run by the company.

Why it matters #

As companies let agents act on documents, accurate extraction alone cannot establish that the source is genuine. Verify targets that integrity gap, but its key performance figures come from a private company-run benchmark.
