About the company
Lazarus provides AI models that extract and analyze data from unstructured documents like medical records and legal agreements for organizations in regulated industries. Its RikAI model identifies text and handwriting in over 100 languages, while the ATLS system coordinates different tools to automate complex workflows through a secure, private cloud or on-premise API. Unlike many competitors, the platform handles multiple data formats like audio and video and provides transparent logs that explain the reasoning behind every output. The company's goal is to help businesses automate data intake and turn their physical or digital documents into searchable, actionable knowledge.
