AI document processing
As a Berlin-based deep-tech company, Workist specializes in leveraging artificial intelligence to automate business-to-business (B2B) document processing. The company's core mission is to free people from repetitive, manual administrative tasks like data entry, empowering them to focus on more valuable work.
Workist's solution is powered by an intelligent AI agent that automatically handles documents from receipt in an inbox to a seamless transfer into an ERP system. The technology is capable of processing a wide variety of formats, including PDFs, Excel files, and emails, regardless of language or layout. The AI extracts and validates data by matching it against a company's master data, and if it encounters uncertainty, it can flag the issue for human review.
The agent's core strength lies in its ability to continuously improve its accuracy by learning from every document it processes and from human feedback, which helps it to become more efficient over time and increase the overall automation rate for a company. This frees up human employees from manual data entry and allows them to focus on more strategic work.
Workist's solution is designed to integrate effortlessly with major ERP systems such as SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, and others. The company reports that its customers, which include industry leaders like Zentis, have achieved significant time and cost savings by automating their document workflows.
Based on the "STATE OF AI IN BUSINESS 2025" report by MIT NANDA, the primary challenge facing companies is the "GenAI Divide"—a phenomenon where 95% of enterprise AI pilot projects fail to deliver a measurable return on investment despite significant financial and technical investment.
The report identifies a key reason for this widespread failure as the "learning gap," noting that most enterprise AI systems are static and "do not retain feedback, adapt to context, or improve over time." The report also highlights a misalignment in investment, showing that the highest ROI comes from automating back-office functions like document processing, rather than the sales and marketing areas where most companies are focusing their AI budgets.
Workist's AI agent directly addresses these critical issues:
- It overcomes the "learning gap": Unlike the static systems mentioned in the report, Workist's AI agent is a learning system that improves with every use. Its "human-in-the-loop" process ensures that it retains feedback, allowing it to become more accurate and efficient over time.
- It targets a high-ROI area: By specializing in the automation of B2B back-office functions, such as document processing and data entry, Workist's solution aligns with the report's finding that this is where the most significant and measurable financial gains are to be found.
- It is a complete, agentic solution: The report highlights "agentic AI" as the future of enterprise automation. Workist's solution is a true AI agent that autonomously handles an entire workflow from document receipt to ERP transfer, providing a comprehensive, end-to-end solution rather than a fragmented tool.
