How to troubleshoot document generation errors with your AI

Connect Documint to your agent to find out why a document failed to build. It pulls the error logs and history so you don't have to hunt for them.

Ask AI about this page

Short answer

Why did my document fail to generate?

Your AI can pull a list of failed attempts and fetch the specific error details for each one. You'll see the exact reason for the failure, which helps you fix your templates or data. Here is how it works.

Troubleshooting outcomes

Where your error data lands.

The AI sorts your generation history into these specific categories.

TRIAGE

Identify failed runs

The AI scans your history to find every document that didn't finish. You get a list of what failed and when it happened.

DIAGNOSTIC

Get error details

The AI pulls the specific error logs for a failed run. This tells you if the issue was a template error or a data mismatch.

MONITOR

Track recent status

The AI checks your latest attempts to see if errors are repeating. You can see if your document pipeline is currently stable.

HUMAN

Fix the source data

If the error is caused by bad input, the AI flags the specific record. You'll need to manually fix the data to succeed next time.

FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI fix the document template for me?

    No. The AI can tell you that a template is causing an error, but you have to go into Documint to edit it.

  • 02

    Can the AI retry a failed document generation?

    No. The AI only reads the logs and history. You have to trigger the retry yourself.

  • 03

    Does the AI have permission to delete my documents?

    No. The tools only allow the AI to list and get details about generations. It cannot delete anything.

  • 04

    Can the AI see the content inside my documents?

    No. The AI only sees the generation metadata and the error logs. It doesn't read the actual document content.

  • 05

    Can the AI change my source data to fix an error?

    No. The AI can identify that your data is causing a failure, but it cannot modify your source records.
