About The Company
The Agentic System of Action for Business Users Agents empower enterprise users to initiate and repeat business critical actions from data locked in thousands of business documents to power business workflows. Docugami's system of action is powered by our patented document AI that automatically turns your entire documents into Knowledge Graphs of actionable data at enterprise scale, with unmatched accuracy. Our patented AI is designed and trained exclusively for business scenarios, to automatically unlock the critical information in your company's documents and use that information to generate reports, insights, new documents, and data streams to power your business processes. Docugami provides a family of Large Language Models (LLMs) trained on millions of Business Documents, ranging from 2.7B to 20B parameters. Docugami is designed to provide immediate value to front-line business users and managers, without costly investments in IT projects or training. Docugami turns your unique business documents into data; all content generated is derived exclusively from your own business documents -- not random content on the Internet -- minimizing any potential for erroneous or inappropriate content generation. Each customer's data, feedback, and generated content are completely separate and secure. Docugami is cross-segment and in the market today in a variety of vertical industry segments, including Commercial Insurance, Commercial Real Estate, Technology, a wide range of Professional Services sectors, and more.
About the Role

Docugami uses powerful artificial intelligence to unlock the information contained in highly varied, unstructured business documents. Business users, without IT or development projects, can immediately create custom analysis of vital document content and information from large batches of contracts, can assist users in creating new documents more efficiently and consistently, and can automatically connect information from within documents to other business systems.

Docugami started with years of R&D, and has received a $10M seed round of VC funding as well as multiple endorsements from industry leaders and publications.  The founders are seasoned ex-Microsoft engineers and leaders, some already well known in the software industry for their record of building and running $1B+ innovative software product businesses.
