Digital workers spend their lives navigating a flurry of files. Often, creating a new file doesn’t mean re-inventing the wheel, but rather modifying existing documents to fit new needs.
Palm Beach Gardens-based Nicolas Fry saw this problem over and over again through his job as a solutions architect at Citrix. Noticing a recurring issue where colleagues frequently copied and pasted content between documents, he envisioned a solution that would simplify this process. What started as a passion project a few years ago became a full fledged business, TurboDocx, as well as Fry’s full-time gig in fall 2023.
The company is transforming the way businesses handle document and presentation creation, leveraging artificial intelligence to streamline and automate content generation.
“I started TurboDocx to eliminate the hassle of creating similar documents from scratch for different clients,” Fry told Refresh Miami. “With our platform, users can assemble content like building with Legos, making the process much more efficient.”
TurboDocx’s innovative approach is powered by AI, which enhances the document creation process. It acts as a universal adapter, pulling in data from various sources like Salesforce and dynamically populating templates. This ensures that content is always relevant and up-to-date without manual intervention.
“We’re using AI to read and extract data from third-party systems, simplifying the integration and content generation process,” he said. “This makes it incredibly easy to create new, customized documents without worrying about data mapping.”
Currently, TurboDocx is primarily used by IT service companies for generating statements of work, design documents, and assessments. But the potential applications are vast. For instance, Fry and team are exploring partnerships with law firms to speed up the creation of legal documents and is continually refining its offerings based on customer feedback.
“We listen to our clients and adapt our product to meet their needs,” he noted. “This demand-driven approach ensures that we’re always providing valuable solutions.”
Having recently completed a $75,000 angel round, Fry signaled that we can expect to see TurboDocx pursue additional funding rounds to fuel its go-to-market strategies and continue developing its tech. Fry wrote 80% of the platform himself until the company landed its first enterprise client, which was also when Fry took the jump into working on TurboDocx full-time. The company currently has one additional full-time engineer and five part-time engineers.
Looking forward, TurboDocx plans to expand its AI capabilities and introduce new products like TurboDocx Writer. This upcoming tool will allow users to integrate pre-written sections into documents directly within Microsoft Word, making workers even more productive.
“We envision a world where AI handles the heavy lifting of document creation, allowing professionals to focus on what they do best,” he said. “Our goal is to completely automate content creation, turning it into a process of quality assurance rather than manual input.”
South Florida has played a major role in TurboDocx’s journey. The company is a corporate sponsor of the South Florida Tech Hub and actively participates in local tech events. “The tech community here is vibrant and growing,”
“I think the South Florida Tech community is awesome,” asserted Fry, a Broward native. “There’s so much going on. And I think that the stereotype that South Florida is a sunny place for shady people is relatively quickly disappearing.”
