What We Do

At Unstructured, we're on a mission to give organizations access to all their data. We know the world runs on documents—from research reports and memos, to quarterly filings and plans of action. And yet, 80% of this information is trapped in inaccessible formats leading to inefficient decision-making and repetitive work. Until now.

Unstructured captures this unstructured data wherever it lives and transforms it into AI-friendly JSON files for companies who are eager to fold AI into their business.
