Dili, an AI compliance company, announced $15 million in Series A funding, bringing its total fundraising to $21.7 million. The round, led by Khosla Ventures, targets U.S. infrastructure projects requiring compliance with complex federal regulations. Dili’s focus is on construction projects receiving federal funding, where compliance with rules like Davis-Bacon and prevailing wage laws is critical. The company’s software is already in use at about 700 projects, including manufacturing facilities and data centers.
Dili’s system uses AI to process unstructured data and translate it into structured formats, then applies deterministic compliance rules. This approach allows tasks that once took a full day to be completed in minutes. Chaturvedi emphasized the importance of reliability, noting that mistakes can lead to millions in fines. The company’s architecture prevents any ambiguity from LLMs, ensuring accuracy in compliance checks.
Dili’s software is used by about 700 projects, with roughly half using it in-house and the other half outsourcing compliance. Chaturvedi anticipates a shift toward in-house software models as AI adoption grows. He noted that AI and software will increasingly replace professional services workflows. "The interesting thing will be how the market itself evolves and where the customer needs go as AI develops," he said.
