Kami (formerly known as Notable PDF) is an Auckland-based cloud-based company that is known for its document and files reader, editor and a collaborative tool that is available in the Google Marketplace.[1][2][3][4]
History[edit]
Headquartered in Auckland,[5] Kami was founded in 2012 by Alliv Samson, Jordan Thoms and Hengjie Wang[2][6] with Sam Altman as their investor.[2] Kami is built upon HTML5 app for the browsers to make it easy and approachable tool while working online.[4][7]
In 2014, Kami announced that its management was partnering with Google, under the Google for Work Partner program, in order to target education users.[8][9][10] During the Covid-19 pandemic, a number of schools used the app for remote classroom education.[11]
Usage[edit]
The online use of Kami targets to facilitate the web users, being a Chrome extension that allows users to annotate PDF files, .docx, .pptx and image files from within the browser.[3][12][13] The basic task of the tool is to make online documents easily usable in real life applications.[14] The app leverages an easy to read and edit approach in the documents, replacing the outdated and arduous printing, marking and then scanning processes.[15][16] Kami finds uniqueness in the provision of web services for editing PDF documents at local level.[17] As a result, the tool is able to offer offline editing to enhance the value of the application.[2][9][18]
The company management plans to extend the tool's compatibility to other formats such as AutoCAD and Photoshop.[19] This extension includes the introduction of relevant annotation tools which will support the desired document extensions with the app.[20]
