In our monthly TED Talk-style series, Kingsmen AI in Action, we dive into and demonstrate the latest innovations and updates in the AI world! Over the last few sessions, we've covered newly released AI models, content creation, and computer vision. Last month, we covered a variety of Document Ingestion tools: Auto Ingest, a system that streamlines mortgage document processing, and Vectorious, which uses advanced AI techniques for extracting data and performing semantic search on complex financial documents. Plus, we had Philip Dodds of Kodexa demonstrante how Kodexa bridges the gap between AI models and business users to seamlessly integrate AI-driven document management into existing workflows.
