In today’s complex regulatory landscape, companies operating in the defense, aerospace, and advanced manufacturing sectors face increasing pressure to ensure compliance with export control laws. The stakes are high: noncompliance can lead to significant legal, financial, and reputational consequences. At ConductorAI, we’ve built an automated AI-driven workflow, used by both the defense industrial base as well as government regulators, that identifies and classifies ITAR/EAR-controlled content within documents, creates an auditable decision log, streamlines the compliance process, and increases confidence in export control decisions.‍The Hidden Cost of Manual ComplianceLarge industrial base contractors handle tens of thousands of documents annually—technical drawings, specifications, communications, and more—all of which may contain sensitive export-controlled information.Compliance teams have long shouldered the important responsibility of manually reviewing documents to ensure accurate classification. While effective, this process is time-intensive and demanding at scale. Our AI-powered solution drastically reduces the manual lift, while providing a powerful layer of assurance for compliance teams.‍How It WorksIngest Documents Automatically: Whether it's PDFs, Word documents, or emails, the system can be configured to review a wide range of file formats.Classify Content Based on ITAR/EAR Regulations: Powered by a series of model-agnostic LLM agents with deep knowledge of ITAR/EAR regulations and fit to your organization’s historical classification patterns, the system evaluates whether content is controlled—and, if so, determines the appropriate jurisdiction.Flag Relevant Sections for Human Review: Instead of hiding the review process, the system highlights specific sections for human review and provides contextual guidance, making it easy for compliance teams to verify and validate classifications.Output a Document-Level Summary: The workflow concludes with an overall classification suggestion (e.g., ITAR-controlled, EAR-controlled, or not controlled) and rationale for the determination.Instantly Share Results with Requesters: Classification results are made available to requesters directly within the platform, typically within minutes, enabling fast, informed decisions. Every action is logged to support compliance and audit requirements.‍Benefits to Compliance TeamsFaster Review Cycles Turn hours of manual document review into minutes, accelerating response times across your compliance workflow.Improved Accuracy & Risk Detection Minimize the chance of missed controls or misclassification with AI that has a deep understanding of ITAR/EAR rules.Smarter Use of Compliance Expertise Free up your team to focus on complex, high-risk cases instead of spending time on routine document screening.Standardized Classification at Scale Apply consistent classification logic across teams and programs, reducing variability and increasing alignment.Built-In Transparency & Audit Readiness Provide traceable, explainable classification outputs that support internal reviews, audits, and regulatory inquiries with confidence.‍Ready to See It in Action?We’re helping some of the nation’s largest defense and industrial contractors stay compliant and move faster. Let us show you how. ‍Book a Meeting with our team to learn more.

BIDDEFORD, Maine, April 11, 2025 – ConductorAI Corporation (“ConductorAI”), a pioneering dual-use software company specializing in AI-enabled approvals, today announced $15 million in Series A funding led by Lux Capital with participation from Altman Capital, Haystack Ventures, Sunflower Capital, Humba Ventures, Also Capital, Forward Deployed VC, and Abstract.With government employees drowning in paperwork and policy, and outsiders struggling to navigate bureaucracy, ConductorAI’s platform is transforming how agencies handle approvals–reducing weeks-long processes to minutes. This approach enables employees to spend more time applying critical thinking, less time Ctrl+F’ing through thousands pages of guidance, and accelerates the administration of government services.According to a recent study by the Chamber of Commerce, the use of manual, paper-based processes costs the federal government $38.7 billion annually due to information capture and processing bottlenecks. In addition, the overwhelming amount of paper-based policy guidance makes it challenging for Federal employees to share information and get things done even within their own organizations. For example, the Government spends $18 billion on classification and security activities, yet it is estimated that 50 to 90 percent of classified material is not properly labeled, which then inhibits collaboration.ConductorAI’s flagship product, Conduit, is a platform designed to ingest policy documents, prior approvals, and heuristics to orchestrate document review and approvals within the DOD, USG, IC, and other highly regulated entities. By atomizing policy statements into AI-enabled agents, rules, workflow steps, and document edits, the platform acts as both a research assistant and expert reviewer to identify and resolve issues. The software is data-agnostic, model-independent, and can be adapted to deploy into various customer environments, including classified settings. The company’s approach leverages approved large language models (LLMs) and decades of expertise building software for defense sector customers to bridge the gap between novel capabilities and mission-oriented needs. ConductorAI is actively working with the Department of Defense, including the Air Force, Space Force, and Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office, and is pursuing work with other service branches, USG agencies, and defense industrial base customers.“The government is drowning in bureaucracy,” said Co-Founder and CEO, Zach Long. “Our platform can help government employees tackle various approval challenges by identifying the people, policies, and prior approvals they need to get things done. Our mission is to both make the government more efficient and to make it easier for companies to get what they need from the government to be successful.”"Unlike most defense companies focused on hardware, ConductorAI operates upstream where the real bottleneck exists—the document and compliance workflows that gridlock critical government processes,” said Lan Jiang, Investor at Lux Capital. “Their tech delivers an order of magnitude improvement, reducing year long review cycles to just months. In today's era of global competition, this efficiency isn't just good business—it's essential for strengthening our national capabilities."This Series A funding round represents one of the largest-ever for a Maine-based advanced technology company. With this funding, ConductorAI is poised to expand its reach across government agencies, regulated industries, and companies that struggle with identifying how to achieve compliance within their own organization or via partners. ConductorAI is not only streamlining processes, it’s fundamentally reimagining how the government interfaces with corporations and partners, paving the way for a more agile and effective public sector. About ConductorAIConductorAI’s mission is to fundamentally improve the efficiency of the US Government, particularly in how it interfaces with corporations and partners, by powering AI-augmented approval and review workflows. Its flagship platform, Conduit, supports document-based process improvements at multiple classification levels in both cloud-native and on-premises environments. ‍More information on ConductorAI can be found at https://www.conductorai.co‍Press Contact:media@conductorai.co
