Hebbia's AI technology primarily uses generative AI to search large documents and return specific answers1. It can look over billions of documents at once, including PDFs, PowerPoints, spreadsheets, and transcripts. The technology is designed to help financial service firms, law firms, and other professional domains save time by streamlining the search process for information within dense documents.
George Sivulka was inspired to start Hebbia by his friends working in the financial industry who spent long hours searching for information in SEC filings and dense documents. He believed that AI could help them save time and improve productivity by providing specific answers from large documents.
Hebbia raised nearly $100 million in its Series B funding round, led by Andreessen Horowitz. The round valued the company between $700 million and $800 million.
