Enterprises are excited about AI, but also overwhelmed. The promise is compelling: extract insights from documents, automate processes, and boost productivity. But there’s one big hurdle that keeps coming up—data movement.

Traditionally, running AI on enterprise documents means moving files around. Whether it’s uploading sensitive files to an external API or replicating data to a separate processing environment, this approach introduces serious friction. Legal teams raise red flags, IT teams demand new security reviews, and the entire process slows down.

Zapper takes a radically different approach. It brings AI to your data—not the other way around.

Instead of moving files across systems or clouds, Zapper lets you plug in any AI engine—whether it’s OpenAI, Claude, or your own in-house LLM—and run it directly against files stored securely in your environment. Your files remain in Blob Storage, protected under your policies, with no data duplication or third-party transfers.

It’s as seamless as it sounds.

The process is beautifully simple. First, you upload your files into Zapper’s secure file system. From there, you choose the AI agent you want to use—this could be an external API endpoint or a private model hosted in your own infrastructure. Then, with a single click, Zapper hands off a secure, time-limited access link to the AI agent. The agent processes the file and returns the result, which is stored neatly back into your system. Everything is logged, permissioned, and organized.

What’s more impressive is how little it takes to enable this.

Adding an AI agent in Zapper is as simple as filling in a form: give it a name, the API URL, and an API key. You assign permissions so only the right people can access and run it. No scripting. No backend configuration. No DevOps. Just fill, save, and go.

For the user, it’s intuitive. You open your file manager, select a document, pick an AI agent from a dropdown, and hit “Process.” Within moments, the result appears in your results folder—clearly labeled and timestamped.

Behind the scenes, Zapper takes care of everything: secure access tokens, file naming conventions, permissions, storage organization, and activity logs. Every interaction is tracked. Every file stays in place. It’s AI, done the enterprise way.

Zapper is built with real business workflows in mind. It supports multiple organizations and user roles, making it easy to separate workstreams, assign responsibilities, and maintain compliance. Whether you’re a law firm running contract analysis, a logistics team automating invoice reviews, or a healthcare provider extracting patient data—Zapper empowers you to harness AI without introducing complexity or risk.

If your organization is looking to integrate AI but can’t afford to compromise on data security, compliance, or operational simplicity, Zapper offers a clear path forward.

You bring the files. We bring the bridge to AI.
No data movement. No disruption. Just results.
