After more than a decade building AI products, from academic research, to co-founding Metrica Sports, to leading AI product at Pachama and Miro, we kept running into the same pattern in companies that depend on documents. Their workflows had evolved over years, shaped by their industry, their systems, and the exceptions only they know about. No vertical-integrated software could ever be flexible enough to meet them where they were.
Automating those workflows takes more than a tool. It takes a partner who sits with the team, maps how the work actually happens, prioritizes what to automate first, measures the return honestly, and brings the staff along so the organization can keep building on top of it. The market was selling tools. What these companies needed was transformation.
That is why we started Limai. One platform and one partner, so companies can start small, with a single workflow, real value captured, measurable impact, and then expand into the broader transformation at their own pace.
