Summary
Outerport extracts structured data from technical documents, diagrams, and CAD files using vision models and parsing APIs. Founded by Towaki Takikawa, ex-NVIDIA research scientist focused on computer vision and 3D AI, and Allen Wang, who worked on LLMs at Tome and computer vision at Embark, they solve the problem of AI systems hallucinating or failing to accurately parse complex technical documents. Their APIs convert documents into LLM-readable formats and provide vision-powered tools for AI agents with bounding boxes and metadata, helping build reliable search and RAG systems for Fortune 500 enterprises.
