Act I · Paycheck · Step 01 of 10
ARTH reads your offer letter and your payslips, splits them five ways, then stops and asks you. Nothing counts until you say it is right.
Every budgeting app starts one step too late. They ask what you spent. None of them ask whether the number at the top was right.
Twenty rows, four abbreviations nobody explained, one net figure you glance at. If a reimbursement stopped in month three, you would not know - not because you are careless, but because there is nowhere to check.

ARTH starts at the top, and hands you the pen.
It reads the document, proposes a structure, and gives you the last word on every line.
Six steps. Three of them are yours, including the two that decide everything.
A photo, a scan, or the PDF payroll emailed you. You hand it over, one document at a time.
Indian payslips are scans, photos and stamped PDFs, often not in English. Sarvam turns the page into clean structured text.
Gemini proposes a structure - employer, period, attendance, every line - each rated for confidence, with its own questions written down.
Low-confidence lines come first. Accept, correct or delete each one. The whole product hangs on this step.
Corrections sit in an override layer. Re-upload the same payslip and a fresh parse cannot undo what you fixed.
Confirmed figures feed your position, your workday costs and your tax plan. Unconfirmed ones wait in the queue.
These are the five you would need if you ever had to argue with HR.
Two services do the reading. Neither decides anything. That distinction is the product.
Sarvam AI
Document digitisation
Indian payslips arrive as scans, phone photos, and PDFs that were never meant to be read by a machine - often not in English. Sarvam's document-digitisation API turns those pages into clean structured text before anything tries to interpret them.
Runs only on a document you uploaded. Returns text, never a decision.
Google Gemini
Structured interpretation
Gemini takes that text and proposes a structure: employer, pay period, each earning and deduction line, and a confidence rating per line. It also writes down what it is unsure about, as questions for you.
Proposes. Never confirms. Every line lands in your review queue before it counts.
Vendor names and logos belong to their owners and are shown here only to describe how ARTH is built. Tax figures are never produced by a language model - those come from a deterministic, versioned rule engine.
Held on purpose. Not a gap waiting for a roadmap.
Your payslip stays exactly as issued. ARTH records what it says, and what you say about it.
A figure waits for your approval before it touches a single calculation.
Your employer, payroll and HR hear from you and only you.
A confidence rating is the parser showing its work. Your approval is the only signal that counts.

ARTH reads the payslip you never open, and tells you if the number is right.
