Our Python-first platform combines Azure, multi-modal/multi-source data extraction and event-driven micro-services to automate everything from entity extraction to memo generation.
We're expanding the core engineering squad to move even faster.
Kruncher has partnerships with Microsoft, NVIDIA and Google to leverage their AI technologies.
