Adit & Raunak introduce stud-io

This is an extraordinary moment.

AI has never been more capable. But for most organizations, that potential remains out of reach—trapped behind unreadable PDFs, legacy systems, and manual workflows.

About one year ago, we began Reducto with a single conviction: AI is only as good as the documents it sees.

What started as a quiet project—a fusion of vision models and language models designed to understand documents the way people do—quickly became something more. Something teams could depend on. Something that made machine learning feel just a little more human.

We didn't want to build another OCR tool. We wanted to reimagine the entire pipeline. Parsing, splitting, extraction—every part of it had to be accurate, fast, and production-grade.

So we built it. And today, Reducto processes documents for companies like Vanta, Scale AI, and Fortune 25 enterprises.

We built it for the operations teams spending hours on credentialing. For the healthcare startups automating medical reviews. For the engineers tired of prompt engineering their way out of bad data.

And now, with our $24.5M Series A led by Benchmark, we're just getting started.

This next chapter is about more than parsing. It's about building a new foundation for processing evaluation—where unstructured data becomes structured, searchable, and actionable with no compromise in accuracy.

We've been lucky to work alongside teams who care deeply about doing things right. They've pushed us to build better, think bigger, and stay grounded in real-world use cases.

We couldn't be more excited for what's next.
