Mindee is the AI Document Understanding API

We focus on the science, the AI, the deep learning to give software builders and business owners the one API they need to automate the understanding of documents and give their software human-like superpowers.

Our offering is built around three pillars

💻  A product A universal self-service platform where builders can find all the building blocks to train their own models and build their own solution

📦  Use-cases We package the most massive, recurring use cases where we push our technology to the limits of human performances. This is the case for instance in Accounting software, AP Automation or Expense Management for instance, where we power the products of leading SaaS players such as Qonto, Spendesk, Lucca, Payfit and many others

⚙️  Capabilities We serve customers in industries such as Logistics, Healthcare or Finance who needs a tailor-made dedicated AI trained specifically for them
