Pitch Deck
Every company's competitive advantage lives in their knowledge—contracts, policies, customer data, domain expertise. Getting that knowledge into agentic AI context—properly and at scale—is the problem everyone talks about. Poor ingestion and chunking waste up to 99% of computational power while agents hallucinate. POMA AI solves this, enabling intelligent knowledge orchestration for agentic systems.

The RAG Paradox: Powering AI with Flawed Foundations
Massive Computational Waste and Stifled AI Scalability
Traditional Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) systems face a fundamental challenge: their inefficient document processing. This leads to a critical dilemma for enterprises:
Either they endure massive computational waste and severely degraded AI performance, or their AI applications remain confined to narrow, single-use cases, preventing widespread adoption and true enterprise-scale impact.
Much like how web search struggled with inefficiency before Google's PageRank algorithm, current context engines are severely hampered by inadequate data ingestion and sub-optimal chunking strategies.
By 2026, enterprises are projected to waste over $10 billion annually on inefficient document processing methods.
"Compute costs are more expensive for us than a lot of other things." - Winston Weinberg, Founder & CEO Harvey
The POMA AI Context Engine Solves This Paradox
Stage 1: Document Import and Conversion
Our intelligent document processing system imports >50 filetypes while preserving critical structural relationships.
Stage 2: Intelligent Chunking
Our patented technology divides documents into structurally meaningful chunks that maintain contextual integrity.
Stage 3: Embed, Store & Retrieve
Embedding, storing and retrieving chunks becomes automatically efficient for optimal context assembly.
Stage 4: Customer Integration
Seamless deployment into existing AI infrastructure for chats, agents and MCP ecosystems with minimal configuration.
Technology Deep Dive:
Revolutionary Document Chunking Technology
Our Context Engine is powered by our patented, industry-leading chunking technology.
Just like Google's PageRank, it is the core component that sets us apart:
Proprietary Chunking Algorithm
Our patented technology preserves in-document relationships and hierarchies by converting any document into trees and finding traversal paths through them. As a result, we maintain critical context that traditional chunking destroys.
Innovative Deduplication
Document- and query-specific optimization that significantly enhances retrieval accuracy while reducing computational requirements by up to 90%.
Universal Compatibility
We seamlessly integrate with all major LLM frameworks including OpenAI, Anthropic, Mistral and both proprietary or open-source models as well as LangChain and MCP connectors.
Our proprietary innovation creates a substantial competitive moat with patent granted at USPTO and utility patent in Germany. At the same time, chunking serves as a strong entry point for our go-to-market strategy, thanks to the limited competition in advanced chunking solutions.
