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

extract all of the data into like a structured representation and then do their analysis so obviously massively time consuming and so this actually it came out of we did a hack week last year and this feature came out of that and then made it it's our it's way into our products and so it was taking that example use case for the customer and our auto form solution um essentially transformed that workflow for them right so what it can automatically do is it'll take any flat document they have a word document it'll

convert it into a form that has all of the metadata so it knows which fields is your date of birth, your name, your address, all of that information.

And then they send those forms, users fill them in again, they can fill them in manually and we use OCR then to understand those documents or they can fill them in on their laptop.

But when they get those documents back, they could have thousands of them and our auto form processor then will take those and within seconds,

extract all the data from them, put it into a nice CSV or Excel file and give you that structured representation.

So like you can imagine the time-saving that is rather than have to manually troll through all of these documents.

So for me, that was a big kind of wow moment.

Yeah, exactly.

Those forms don't even need to be identical.

They can be kind of disparate forms, but as long as they have similar information, our system will group that data together.

And so, yeah, huge, huge time saver.

So I guess there's a few things there, right?

So, I mean, one of the things I've tried to bring to Nitro is a maniacal focus on privacy.

So obviously when I was at Apple, they're known for that maniacal focus on privacy.

And I've brought that into Nitro.

So, you know, every time we're making engineering decisions and building these products, we need to make sure we're doing it from, you know, critically from a user preserving and a privacy preserving perspective.

And in terms of, I mean, one of the things I said earlier is like, we don't, if when you send your documents in, they're processed ephemera, right?

So if they stay within our contained environment, they're processed ephemera, which basically means we process it and then it's gone, right?

We don't store that data or anything like that.

That obviously can make our job a little bit difficult if there's a bug or there's an issue in the system, right?
