Pangeanic provides AI-augmented language processing solutions through an efficient ecosystem of neural networks, machine learning and NLP applications.

We don’t believe AI is some sort of novel form of automation. At Pangeanic, we focus on the processes that actually make things human-like and expand human capabilities. ECO combines a series of NLP processes to bring several technologies that humans can adapt as they need, from adaptive machine translation to key data extraction, data classification, anonymization and summarization. Each process is independent and can grow easily according to specific user needs – but can be linked to the other processes in an intelligent way. We are a company that extracts value from data (from unstructured to structured data) and adds information. The AI components add immediacy to these processes, crossing language barriers and adapting quickly to user scenarios.
