  "summary": "fileAI, an enterprise AI company focused on helping large organizations digitize and manage unstructured data, has secured new backing from SMBC Asia Rising Fund and Singtel Innov8 for expansion in Japan. The investment aims to support fileAI's rollout of fileScout, a new product designed for mapping and using unstructured enterprise data, and strengthen the company's financial services capabilities. For companies in sectors like banking, insurance, logistics, and healthcare, unstructured data often poses bottlenecks, making fileAI's core product, fileForge, particularly valuable. The new funding will help fileAI convert complex unstructured data into \"trusted intelligence and production-grade workflows,\" positioning it as a strategic test bed for enterprise AI in Japan, a market known for its large enterprises and regulatory requirements.",
