Deep Cognition
Dallas-based AI company providing generative AI-powered document processing through PaperEntry AI, specializing in customs and logistics automation.

Overview
Deep Cognition develops PaperEntry AI, a generative AI platform that requires no training or document templates, differentiating from traditional IDP solutions requiring extensive setup. Founded in 2017 by Mandeep Kumar, the company secured $1.25 million in funding in 2023 from investors including Mark Cuban, Baylor Angel Network, and TiE Angels.
The platform has documented implementations with high-profile customers including a U.S. government agency led by former IRS Commissioner Charles Rettig, who noted Deep Cognition "helped significantly reduce backlogs of document data entry using AI automation" while "handling very large volumes with high accuracy." The government deployment achieved 88% faster turnaround, 99% accuracy, and 75% time savings.
Deep Cognition's no-training approach addresses a critical market pain point, as 66% of IDP projects are replacements for failed implementations. The company has processed over one million pages across 10 countries, with dramatic efficiency gains demonstrated at freight forwarder Savino Del Bene SA, where customs entry processing was reduced from 40 hours to 2 minutes.
