Base64.ai’s revolutionary technology recognizes every document type, including worldwide IDs, invoices, checks, complex and multi-page forms, in over 60 languages. The AI instantly translates any document with 99%+ accuracy into standard key-value pairs through a single API call by extracting OCR text, data, tables, faces, and signatures. In keeping with its SOC-2 bank-level security compliance standards, Base64.ai offers scalable cloud and offline on-premise solutions. The streamlined automation solution supports all common file formats, such as images, PDFs, Word, Excel, and ZIP files. While some ID or invoice-specific solutions have recently tested the market, big tech still does not offer a solution for custom documents or international customers. With Base64.ai’s new no-template AI that understands every document, all of that is changing.

“Base64.ai reinvents OCR technology with a powerful, user-friendly, and AI-driven API that will push the adoption of automated document understanding across every department in all types of companies. Base64.ai’s innovation around usability for document understanding AI is a significant milestone that will reinvent the entire data entry industry. As Stripe did for payment processing, Base64.ai is doing the same for document understanding,” commented Pascal Levy-Garboua, Partner at Long Journey Ventures.

Ozan Eren Bilgen, the CEO at Base64.ai, added: “This funding is a major milestone toward reaching our goals by expanding our technology, marketing, and sales efforts. Base64.ai enables all operation managers and software engineers to build real-time document processing solutions with just a few clicks. We’ve grown to process hundreds of thousands of complex multi-page forms per month, up over 20x in 2021, and are excited for what the future holds. I want to welcome our new investment partners on our journey to help companies get work done faster with AI.”

As data automation technologies advance, more companies will likely adopt AI-based document processing software. Huard Smith, Vice President of Forrester, publicly predicted that automation services will replace up to 73% of all cubicle-related jobs involving clerical tasks and data entry by 2030. Base64.ai’s all-purpose document processing AI leads that transition by enabling any company to automate their document processing without spending time, effort, and money building individual machine learning models for each document type.

Post fundraising, Base64.ai plans to expand operations in the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. The Company is growing its reach through its global partners UiPath and Microsoft and regional partners, such as Practia in LATAM, Evolvant in the Middle East, and Propel Consult in the UK. These key innovators are already driving the adoption of AI and RPA technologies in their respective regions and now combine their vast experience with Base64.ai’s cutting-edge document understanding AI. 99% of data entry is still being done manually, allowing for more growth opportunities yet ahead for AI-driven alternatives. With Base64.ai’s user-friendly API, this adoption is poised to grow.
