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 which is also available in the Google Marketplace.[1][2][3][4]

History

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]

Usage

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][11][12] The basic task of the tool is to make online documents easily usable in real life applications.[13] The app leverages an easy to read and edit approach in the documents, thus, replacing the outdated and arduous printing, marking and then scanning processes.[14][15] Kami finds uniqueness in the provision of web services for editing PDF documents at local level.[16] As a result, the tool is able to offer offline editing to enhance the value of the application.[2][9][17]

The company management plans to extend the tool's compatibility to other formats such as AutoCAD and Photoshop.[18] This extension includes the introduction of relevant annotation tools which will support the desired document extensions with the app.[19]
