Y CombinatorSummer 2024ActiveB2BInfrastructure

What they do

Problem

Organizations struggle to reliably extract and structure data from diverse unstructured documents for downstream applications like LLMs and analytics.

Solution

Pulse provides an API that ingests documents (PDF, Word, Excel, etc.) and converts their contents into production-grade, LLM-ready structured inputs that plug into existing pipelines.

Who it's for

Developers and data teams at companies that need to integrate document extraction into production data pipelines.
