Our Story

Docbot was born from a mission to provide the most powerful AI-assisted image analysis solutions to revolutionize GI care. In 2013, co-founders Andrew Ninh, Tyler Dao, and Dr. William Karnes (leading gastroenterologist at University of California Irvine) teamed up to create a web interface for Dr. Karnes’ large polyp/colonoscopy quality database that he had painstakingly collected over a 10-year period.

Ninh’s background in bioinformatics and natural language processing led them to believe they could leverage the data to generate artificial intelligence algorithms to automate the detection of polyps and other lesions and report colonoscopy quality. The result was the UltivisionAI™ Platform. The team officially launched the company in 2016 and raised its Seed Round in 2019 through the prestigious Y Combinator accelerator program.
