Hebbia Acquires FlashDocs to Automate Slide Decks and Supercharge AI Workflows for Finance
In a move that signals AI’s next frontier in enterprise productivity, Hebbia, the AI platform widely adopted across finance and legal sectors, has acquired FlashDocs, a fast-rising startup known for using generative AI to automate high-quality presentation creation.
The acquisition, announced today, marks a clear evolution in Hebbia’s strategy—from extracting insights to producing complete, client-ready outputs like investment memos, board decks, and due diligence reports. In short: from insight to impact, in one platform.
“We’re automating the most tedious layer of the knowledge worker stack,” said Adam Khakhar, FlashDocs CTO and co-founder. “Now Hebbia users can go from raw data to polished artifacts—without opening PowerPoint.”
From Document Search to Artifact Generation
Hebbia made its name with agentic AI workflows—used by clients like KKR, MetLife, and even the U.S. Air Force—to sift through dense legal, financial, or strategic documents. But the end output still relied on human polish. That changes now.
With FlashDocs’ tech baked in, users can now prompt Hebbia not just to analyze documents, but to instantly convert findings into formatted, on-brand presentations and reports. Think ChatGPT meets a banker’s pitch book machine.
Founded in 2024, FlashDocs was already automating 10,000+ slides per day for top-tier clients in AI and enterprise software. Now, integrated into Hebbia’s growing ecosystem, those capabilities get a major upgrade—and wider distribution.
“Slide creation is still a time sink in finance and consulting,” said George Sivulka, Hebbia’s CEO. “We’re solving that problem at the infrastructure level, bringing automation to every layer—from research to delivery.”
Strategic Expansion: Beyond the Platform, Into the Workflow
Crucially, the deal isn’t just about in-platform tools. FlashDocs’ API-focused architecture unlocks downstream automation for firms looking to pipe Hebbia’s capabilities directly into internal workflows. That means automated deck generation inside your CRM, ERP, or custom financial software.
For Hebbia, that means expanding its footprint beyond knowledge retrieval and task automation into artifact delivery—the final, client-facing outputs that matter most in high-stakes decision environments.
It’s also a savvy vertical move. In an AI market cluttered with “co-pilots” and chat interfaces, Hebbia is carving out a space for itself as an end-to-end agent platform, with deep integrations and measurable ROI for finance, law, and strategic ops.
“We’re not just another chatbot,” said Sivulka. “We’re building agents that outperform humans at any task. Automating deliverables is the next frontier.”
The Broader Context: Enterprise AI Grows Up
This acquisition is also part of a broader industry trend: enterprise AI is shifting from experimentation to execution. Buyers are no longer impressed by generic chat; they want tools that fit seamlessly into their existing stack, automate real workflows, and produce outputs with polish and precision.
In that context, Hebbia’s bet on infrastructure + automation + final artifact feels like a power play—one that distinguishes it from rivals offering partial solutions.
With FlashDocs in its corner, Hebbia is now not only reading your PDFs but writing your pitch—one slide at a time.
