What is LightOn?

LightOn is an AI-powered document processing and retrieval platform designed to operate securely behind a corporate firewall. Built by LightOn AI, it solves the problem of extracting structured data from complex documents and enabling grounded retrieval with citations. Core capabilities include state-of-the-art OCR parsing (LightOnOCR-2), schema-based field extraction, and hybrid search combining dense, sparse, and late-interaction signals. The platform supports 20+ languages, offers open-source models on HuggingFace, and integrates via API or SDK. It is ideal for enterprise teams handling contracts, invoices, regulatory documents, and multi-jurisdiction reviews. Users include legal, compliance, risk, and data teams who need secure, auditable AI without data leaks. LightOn also provides MCP-native integration for agentic workflows and supports custom workspaces with chunk-level access control.
