Affinda, worked by an AI employee

Not another app for your team to learn, and not a set of rules for you to build. You hire an AI employee, you give it access to your Affinda account, and you ask it for things in Slack or Teams the way you would ask anyone else on the team. There is nothing to map and nothing to maintain.

What Affinda is

Affinda provides an AI-powered document processing platform that automates data extraction from various document types.

You paste in a key from your own Affinda account. It is kept encrypted, and you can withdraw it from inside Affinda whenever you like.

How a run works

One message in, the work done in Affinda.

  1. 01

    You ask

    You message your AI employee in the chat your team already has open, in one sentence, in your own words.

  2. 02

    It works out the step

    It decides what the job needs in Affinda. You do not pick anything from a menu or wire anything together.

  3. 03

    It does the work

    Signed in to your own Affinda account, inside the access you granted it, doing the thing you asked for.

  4. 04

    It reports back

    It tells you what it did, in the same thread. If it could not do something, it says so rather than guessing.
