THE TEAM

Hebbia enables leading finance and legal firms with advanced reasoning, copiloting and retrieval capabilities - unlocking meaningful insights for meaningful use cases. The Agents team builds everything from core document understanding capabilities to co-piloting experiences for matrix and deep, multi-source research. We’ve built our own agentic frameworks powered by distributed systems built for scale.

We don’t build for one-off success. We build steerable, reliable and explainable agentic systems. And we build these systems for the scale of data our customers bring to the table. Our goal is to unlock the unknowable unknown for customers all over the world.

We want to build a product that becomes indisposable to our customers and as delightful as your favorite consumer product. We move fast and build first of their kind systems.

WHAT WE’VE BUILT:

1. A custom multi-agent framework https://www.hebbia.com/blog/divide-and-conquer-hebbias-multi-agent-redesign powering everything from deep research capabilities to copiloting interfaces paired with distributed systems infrastructure for long running agentic tasks.

2. The world’s most powerful and scalable LLM inference engine - a distributed, asynchronous DAG orchestrator capable of incorporating live graph mutations, cooperating in tandem with our LLM throughput management capabilities. https://www.hebbia.com/blog/maximizer-hebbias-distributed-system-for-high-scale-llm-request-scheduling

3. Elastically scaling data representation and metadata generation → powering the most effective private data retrieval systems.

4. Industry leading agents https://www.hebbia.com/blog/goodbye-rag-how-hebbia-solved-information-retrieval-for-llmssolving problems from buy side company diligence to multi billion dollar M&A.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
