Kita, a startup founded by Carmel and Rhea, has launched a new product designed to automate credit review for lenders in emerging markets. The system utilizes Visual Language Models (VLMs) to process diverse and often unstandardized financial documents, a task that current OCR and document AI tools struggle with. Kita's platform extracts structured financial data, detects fraud, and verifies information through cross-document checks and historical data, aiming to improve the speed and accuracy of underwriting.
