What Notch does

Notch is an AI operating system for regulated industries, deploying autonomous agents that execute customer-facing, internal coworker, and back-office workflows end-to-end rather than merely assisting human agents. The platform is anchored by ADAM (AI Dialogue and Automation Mindframe), a proprietary orchestration engine built on five architectural primitives (Brain, Hands, Memory, Context, Iteration) that manages 40+ specialized agents across voice, chat, email, SMS, WhatsApp, and social channels in 75+ languages. A hybrid SLM/LLM architecture routes routine extraction, classification, and structured tool calls through small language models (Phi-3, Gemma, Mistral 7B, Llama 3 8B at 1B-8B parameters) while reserving large language models for complex multi-step reasoning and brand-sensitive responses, governed by a five-layer guardrail system covering conversation safety, prompt-injection defense, deterministic RBAC, business limits, and jurisdiction-aware rules.

The company's primary verticals are insurance carriers, brokers, MGAs, and reinsurers, followed by banking and financial services, telecom, eCommerce/retail, SaaS, gaming, and travel/OTA. Notable customers include Phoenix Insurance, Guardio, Yves Rocher, Idyl, Rubbit, MAËLYS, Theotravel, Theo Grace, and The Conscious Bar, with documented outcomes of 70-87% autonomous resolution rates, 50%+ operational cost reductions, and 200% ROI within 12 months. Native integrations span core insurance platforms (Guidewire, Duck Creek, Novidea, Socotra), CRM/helpdesk (Salesforce, Zendesk, Intercom, Kustomer, Gorgias), and commerce/logistics (Shopify, WooCommerce, Klaviyo, DHL), with production infrastructure on Microsoft Azure and distribution via Azure Marketplace.

Notch operates a fully managed enterprise service model with an outcome-based pricing structure: customers pay only when the AI agent fully resolves a case from start to finish, not for conversations, deflections, or partial automation. The company guarantees 30% autonomous resolution within 90 days at zero cost if not achieved. Founded in 2021 in Tel Aviv as a specialty insurer operating across 47 U.S. states, Notch pivoted into software after building compliance-grade automation internally; it has raised $45 million in total funding ($15M Seed led by Lightspeed in September 2025, $30M Series A led by Headline in March 2026) and operates from Tel Aviv and New York with 11-50 employees.

Core offering

Notch provides an AI operating system for regulated industries that deploys autonomous AI agents across customer-facing, internal, and back-office workflows. The platform combines LLMs with deterministic rules and a proprietary orchestration engine (ADAM) to resolve support interactions, process claims, and execute end-to-end enterprise workflows in insurance, banking, telecom, retail, SaaS, gaming, and travel.

Product overview

Notch is an AI operating system for regulated industries built as a unified platform with three agent types orchestrated by ADAM (AI Dialogue and Automation Mind-frame): Customer-Facing Agents handle voice, chat, and email interactions; Internal AI Coworkers assist teams with document retrieval and knowledge lookups; and Back-Office Agents automate document processing, routing, and system integrations. The platform targets insurance, banking & finance, telecom, eCommerce, SaaS, gaming, and travel industries with vertical-specific solutions. Key differentiators include outcome-based pricing (pay-per-resolution), five-layer compliance architecture, 3-6 week deployment, and compound intelligence that improves with every workflow added. Notable capabilities include 40+ specialized agents, 75+ language support, deep enterprise integrations (Guidewire, Salesforce, Zendesk, Shopify), and a hybrid SLM/LLM architecture for cost optimization. The platform achieves 70-87% automation rates and 200% ROI within 12 months.
