About Us:

At Roots, our mission is to make work more human by creating AI-powered "Digital Coworkers" that automate tedious and repetitive tasks. Our focus lies in tackling core challenges in Natural Language Understanding and Computer Vision while developing an automation product that envisions the future of work.

We believe in democratizing automations, allowing anyone to create them by defining tasks in plain English. Our platform aims to provide a robust environment to write and execute such tasks, effectively translating instructions into tangible outcomes while delivering enterprise-grade results and performance.

Our primary industry focus is Insurance, where success hinges on our customer’s ability to read and understand various unstructured legal, medical, and financial documents. To solve this, we recently built a universal document understanding capability, InsurGPT, that leverages an industry-specific fine-tuned large language model.

As a startup, Roots Automation offers a high-paced environment with ample growth and learning opportunities across multiple disciplines. Equity ownership opportunities are available for the right candidate.
