About Us

At Kizen, we build technology that makes AI actually work for people.

Our platform helps organizations automate the workflows that matter most — from enabling healthcare providers to deliver proactive patient care, to helping insurance organizations manage contracting and commissions, to empowering financial institutions to classify documents, extract data, and calculate risk automatically.

And that's just the beginning. With Kizen, developers can build new enterprise applications, while business users can customize dashboards and agents using AI, low-code, or code — all on the same platform. The possibilities are limited only by imagination.

What used to take months or years to build, configure, and connect now takes just days. Kizen combines powerful pre-built agents and use cases with an enterprise platform for automation and data connection — all built on an AI-first architecture that's easy to adopt, scale, and trust.

We're not chasing hype. We're solving real operational problems and helping the world's most complex organizations work faster, smarter, and more humanely.

Join us in transforming how industries work — one workflow, one agent, and one customer success story at a time.
