Humaxa

What Humaxa does

Humaxa is a private AI software company founded in 2017 and headquartered in Cameron Park, California, that has built "Max," a conversational AI productivity platform purpose-trained on automotive industry regulations, AUTOSAR standards, and proprietary client knowledge bases. The system is engineered with domain-specific guardrails including reference-citing responses, ambiguity detection, column verification, and confidence warnings aimed at suppressing hallucination. Max is delivered as a modular suite covering engineering solutions (Test Data Analysis, Recall Prevention, Quality, Engineering Compliance, Requirements Extraction, Regulatory Information Management), HR and employee-experience modules (Onboarding, Engagement, Expert Finder, Mentoring, People Analytics, Rewards, Compliance, Skills Inventory), and industry-specific tools for market research, sales/dealer support, and warranty analysis.

The platform is deployed natively inside Microsoft Teams and Slack and integrated into Vector's automotive development tool suite, enabling in-workflow access without standalone tool adoption. Humaxa monetizes via SaaS subscriptions: a $35/month self-serve Standard plan with a 14-day free trial, and a custom-priced Enterprise tier featuring unlimited integrations, multi-year contracts, and managed data updates. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting automotive OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers, supplemented by a product-led growth self-serve channel. Named customers include KIA, Vector, Knorr Bremse, Green Hills Software, Teledyne, Auto Pacific, a Major German Tier 1 supplier, a Korean Automotive OEM, Baxter Credit Union, Pacific Clinics, Mental Health Data Alliance, and Opeeka, with documented outcomes of 40%+ productivity gains, 75%+ time reductions, 500-1700% ROI, and $2M+ savings per vehicle program.

Total disclosed funding is approximately $210,000 across rounds from 500 Kobe (2020), Venture Lane (2022), SHRMLabs (2022), and Expert Dojo (2024). The company operates across North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific with a headcount of 1-10 employees led by co-founders Carolyn Peer (CEO), Guillermo Borges (CTO), and Jennifer Gargulinski (Chief Growth & Strategy Officer).
