fileAI is an AI-native data preparation and workflow automation company founded in 2021 by Clare Leighton and Christian Schneider, who lead the company as COO and CEO respectively. The company started in Singapore and has since expanded with offices in Japan, Australia, and the US, raising $26 million in funding from investors including Illuminate Financial and Insignia Ventures Partners.
The product works as a horizontal file-processing agent rather than a template built for one document type: it applies zero-shot AI OCR and schema extraction across invoices, receipts, contracts, and other unstructured files, then routes cleaned, structured data into a company's existing systems through custom export integrations. fileAI reports processing more than 200 million files a year for enterprise customers including Toshiba, KFC, PwC, and KPMG.
fileAI is built for finance, operations, and back-office teams handling high volumes of unstructured documents that need to become structured data without custom-building an extraction model per document type. Pricing is usage-based, billed per page processed, with a Self-Serve plan for smaller volumes and a custom-priced Enterprise plan adding private cloud deployment, custom-trained OCR models, and an SLA-backed uptime guarantee.
