We’re on a mission to save human lifetimes of tedious, white-collar work

Heron frees people from tedious work — the repetitive, mindless, soul-crushing work that makes you dread getting out of bed on a Monday. We do this by building an AI colleague you can give specific tasks to, and they will do them independently, or let you know they need your help.

Our Story

Heron was founded on the simple belief that technology can accelerate business by making processes more efficient, more accurate, and fairer for customers

Following this belief, we were one of the first companies to use LLMs - the technology behind ChatGPT - in live business processes, specifically to categorize bank transactions. Now, we help over 130 fintechs and financiers underwrite small businesses with more speed, more accuracy, and more fairness

Over the years, it has become clear to us that there are many, many business processes out there that are just like small business underwriting - repetitive, slow and prone to error

So, today we help leading fintechs, financiers, insurers, professional services firms and others automate their unique document heavy workflows

We are experts at bringing state-of-the-art AI and machine learning software to the messy and complex places that others don’t want to go. We meet our customers where they are, and get AI working with them and for them.

We know we’re not exactly saving lives with what we do, but we are proud of the impact that we have on our customers and their businesses. With Heron, individuals and teams reclaim hours of their day to focus on meaningful, impactful work: saving them lifetimes otherwise spent on tedious white-collar work.
