Press & News Company Overview.
POMA AI is a context engineering company that turns unstructured documents into accurate, retrievable context for AI. Our PrimeCut engine ingests more than 50 file types and splits them with a patent-protected, structure-aware chunking method that keeps tables and document hierarchy intact.
index4.ai, our managed context engine, runs ingestion, chunking, retrieval and ranking on the same PrimeCut core, so teams don’t have to build or host retrieval infrastructure.
Why choose POMA AI
- Your most difficult documents become AI-searchable. Scanned pages and images (including handwriting), complex diagrams and technical drawings, tables, audio and video are all read, so nothing is left out.
- Your AI costs go down. We use 77% fewer tokens than naive chunking for the same context recall, on our public benchmark.
- Your AI gets the full context. Each passage stays linked to what it depends on, like a policy term to its coverage table, so answers are more complete.
