The San Francisco-based company also announced its DynamoBV system, which is a united benefits verification tool. 

"DynamoBV augments state-of-the-art natural language processing with our proprietary expert in-the-loop processes to automate high-volume tasks and seamlessly navigate exceptions," Shyam Rajagopalan, co-founder and CTO of Infinitus, said in a statement.

With continuous reinforcement to our ML conversation models, Infinitus customers benefit from the improvements made to the system in real-time, without the need for costly client-side upgrades."
