About Lighthouz AI

Lighthouz AI is automating the back office accounting of freight brokers with freight‑native AI agents. Our AI agents process messy document paperwork in accounting in seconds—not hours—by replacing manual data verification, extraction, & audits and brittle RPA. Our platform thrives in real‑world document chaos—scanned and handwritten paperwork, and ambiguous emails—executing complex workflows automatically. The result: faster invoicing, quicker time‑to‑get‑paid, fewer disputes, and 10× operational growth. We’re a Y Combinator S24 company, founded by a team with deep experience across AI, supply chain, and enterprise systems (Google, Georgia Tech, Progressive). At Lighthouz, we’re not just streamlining freight finance—we’re rebuilding it from the ground up.
