Poetic, formerly known as Forge, builds enterprise AI process-automation software for high-stakes workflows in industries such as banking, healthcare, and insurance. The platform lets operators define complex business workflows in natural language, then converts those rules into deterministic execution so large enterprises can automate multi-hour processes with auditability and consistent quality. Poetic says its system learns business rules while running with software-like precision, with customer examples including fraud and dispute workflows.
