Pryon

AI platform for enhancing information access

About Pryon

Pryon provides an AI-powered platform that helps organizations reduce "knowledge friction," which is the time employees waste searching for information across various formats and locations. The platform uses technologies like Computer Vision, Optical Character Recognition, and Large Language Models to read and understand content, creating a "Knowledge Fabric" that serves as a reliable source of information. This allows employees to quickly access the data they need, improving productivity and operational efficiency. Pryon operates on a subscription-based model, charging clients based on the number of users and data processed, which ensures a steady revenue stream. The goal of Pryon is to streamline information access within organizations, enabling employees to focus on problem-solving rather than searching for information.
