Pioneers of document AI.
Parashift is a leading provider of document AI and Intelligent Document Processing in Europe. Since 2019, we have been developing our own, superior AI models for understanding and processing business documents in regulated industries – with Swiss roots and a focus on Germany, Switzerland, and Europe.
We build our own AI models for documents.
Parashift develops specialized AI models for the classification, extraction, and substantive understanding of business documents – trained for regulated, document-intensive industries in Europe.
Unlike providers that merely adapt pre-trained language models to documents via prompting, we build the models ourselves: developed from the ground up for document processing, rather than assembled as a wrapper around someone else's AI.
These models run on a purpose-built cloud platform: elastically scalable, designed for continuous retraining, and built from the ground up for regulated, document-intensive industries.
- Dokumentli® – our flagship model: a specialized Vision Language Model for document processing that can also run fully on a customer's own infrastructure.
- DocumentSwarmLearning™ – collective model learning across customer environments, without compromising data sovereignty.
- OneTouchLearning® – model adaptation to new document types with minimal training effort.

Five principles that shape our work.
Our code of conduct describes how we make decisions, collaborate, and take responsibility – regardless of role or position.
We protect
Protecting customer data, our team, and the company is our priority. We make careful, rational decisions – especially when it matters most.
We are one team
We act as one team – with mutual respect and a fair distribution of responsibility. In challenging times, we stand up for our team first, then for our customers.
The best idea wins
Regardless of hierarchy, experience, or tenure, the best solution prevails. We decide based on substance, not status.
We maximize engineering
We think like engineers: data-driven, technically grounded, and committed to shortening timelines and continuously increasing impact.
We deliver consistently
Commitments count. Not intentions or announcements, but what we actually deliver determines our progress.
From Europe, for Europe.
Parashift was founded in Switzerland and consistently develops its AI models for the European market – with a focus on Germany, Switzerland, and Europe: with data processing in Switzerland and the EU, architectures built for DORA and sovereignty requirements, and no dependency on non-European AI providers. European companies deserve document AI that meets European standards of data protection and control from the ground up.
