Lead With AI · Former Apple AI Engineer Brings Privacy-First Automation to Document Management · 13 Jan 2026 podcast

So I'm John Fitzpatrick, I'm the CTO here at Nitro.

I've been involved in the AI space for over 10 years.

Prior to joining Nitro, I was at Apple, where I was responsible for the tooling and pipelines to build a lot of the on-device AI models.

And I came to Apple through an acquisition of a startup called Voices, where we were building kind of full stack voice AI solutions.

And before that, I was at a varied number of other companies from startups to larger businesses.

So in both the cybersecurity and telecom space.

So Lytro is, it's a well-established business.

It's a trusted provider of PDF document management solutions and e-sign solutions.

And our customer base ranges from, you know, individuals, small mom and pop shops, all the way up to extremely large enterprises across varied industries.

So actually, I guess what most excited me by coming to Nitro was the opportunity to completely reimagine how people work with documents.

So traditionally, it's been viewing, editing and signing of them.

But I really felt through my experience in the AI space and through the really powerful application of AI,

into this industry in order to really understand the documents.

And then from that, be able to automate a lot of the laborious and repetitive tasks that many of our users spend just huge amounts of time doing.

And I guess when I joined, we first had to develop a framework for, okay, what are the things where AI can really add value in this space?

And so that requires us to have a really good understanding of what our customers are doing with our products.

And so since then, we created a framework that allows us to answer exactly that question because we didn't want to suffer from that condition that we see a lot of out there, which is just adding AI into your product for the sake of AI.

It's just prevalent, right?

And it's just so that you can say you're an AI business.

And so the framework we put in place allows us to understand which things and workflows customers would most benefit from AI assistance.
