Nitai Dean: IDP Software Author

Nitai Dean is cofounder and chief technology officer of DocuPipe, a New York document extraction platform operated by Hoss Inc. that converts PDFs, scans, photos and spreadsheets into JSON matching a customer-defined schema, running as a hosted API or inside a customer's own cloud account or Kubernetes cluster. Dean leads the machine learning and engineering side alongside cofounder and CEO Uri Merhav, and previously ran the machine learning consultancy Hoss Technologies with Merhav from 2017, building models for startups in Silicon Valley, New York and Tel Aviv before the team turned to its own products, including the document parsing tool DocuPanda that became DocuPipe. Dean authored DocuPipe's comparison with Extend, benchmarking both products on DocuBench, a public set of 72 hard documents in 12 languages, and on Extend's RealDoc-Bench, publishing the labels, scorer and raw outputs on GitHub.

Cofounder and CTO, DocuPipe · LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/nitai-dean-3152a048/ · docupipe.ai https://www.docupipe.ai/ Nitai Dean is cofounder and chief technology officer of DocuPipe ../../vendors/docupipe/ , a New York document extraction platform operated by Hoss Inc. DocuPipe turns PDFs, scans, photos and spreadsheets into JSON that follows a customer-defined schema, and runs either as a hosted API or inside a customer's own cloud account or Kubernetes cluster. Nitai leads the machine learning and engineering side of the product, alongside cofounder and CEO Uri Merhav. Before DocuPipe, Nitai and Uri ran Hoss Technologies, a machine learning consultancy that from 2017 built models for startups in Silicon Valley, New York and Tel Aviv. In a 2024 essay https://nitaidean.substack.com/p/from-consulting-to-entrepreneurship , Nitai describes how the consultancy turned to its own products, first the image tools PhotoBear and the storytelling app MyTales, and then DocuPanda, the document parsing product now called DocuPipe, built because the parsing tools the team had used on client projects fell short. Nitai reached Master rank in Kaggle machine learning competitions and studied at Tel Aviv University. Nitai wrote DocuPipe's comparison with Extend https://www.docupipe.ai/blog/docupipe-vs-extend-benchmark , which runs both products on DocuBench, a public set of 72 hard documents in 12 languages, and on Extend's own RealDoc-Bench, and publishes the labels, scorer and raw outputs on GitHub https://github.com/DocuPipe/DocuBench so others can rerun it.
