AI platform automating complex, high-stakes enterprise workflows.
About Poetic
Poetic (formerly Forge) is a San Francisco AI company founded by Markie Wagner that builds software for automating complex, high-stakes enterprise processes—such as fraud investigations, transaction monitoring and disputes—with near-deterministic execution rather than uncontrolled autonomous agents. Operators describe multi-hour workflows in natural language; Poetic encodes that expertise into a purpose-built programming approach that learns like AI but runs like code, reporting about 99% accuracy on processes Fortune 500 financial firms had struggled to automate, with customers including SoFi and AIG and an eight-figure run rate reached in 2025 with a small team. In June 2026 Poetic raised a $50 million Series A at a $500 million valuation led by Kleiner Perkins, with Founders Fund, First Harmonic and OpenAI participating, to scale its forward-deployed team and expand into more complex industries.
