24 alternatives to Data Extraction with Flexible Schemas
Hey! We’ve built a data extraction tool to flexibly automate data and document processing. You’ve probably seen a few of these, so have we! A few of us have been varyingly stuck trying to automate the extraction of borrower financials for the past 5 years. We think that there are a few missing features of most data extraction tools. * They are usually too complex to quickly get up and running * They are overly constrained in terms of what workflows and documents they support We’ve always felt like speed and flexibility were sticking points, so we went slightly orthogonal to the alternatives.…

NinjaDoc Ai▲90Hey HN, I'm the founder of Ninjadoc AI. I've spent years working with document processing, and I've always been frustrated by the existing solutions for structured data extraction. The core problem is that most tools force you into one of two bad options: Template-based extractors: You define fixed regions or rules. These are incredibly brittle and break the moment a document layout changes slightly (e.g., a new invoice template from a vendor). ML-based extractors: These require you to gather hundreds (sometimes thousands) of your own labeled documents to train a custom model for each…

OpenSheet▲86Hi folks. I've been doing some experiments on how LLMs could get more handy in the day to day of working with files (CSV, Parquet, etc). Earlier last year, I built https://datakit.page and evolved it over and over into an all in-browser experience with help of duckdb-wasm. Got loads of feedbacks and I think it turned into a good shape with being an adhoc local data studio, but I kept hearing two main things/issues: Why can't the AI also change cells in the file we give to it? Why can't we modify this grid ourselves? So besides the whole READ and text-to-SQL flows, what seemed…

Hi, I'm building an open-source self-hostable document extraction tool powered by LLM. There are popular data extraction tools and OCR tools in the market. None of them are open source. Most accounting firms, law firms, insurance, back office, and real-estate folks would like to use a tool like this. You can add PDF documents, Images, and audio files and create columns to answer questions on documents or extract information into tabular format. Access to repo: https://github.com/harishdeivanayagam/rowfill Screenshots:…

Hi HackerNews, Lately, I have seen an explosion in posts offering paid APIs/services to get unstructured data into LLMs (i.e. langchain extract, ragflow, unstructured, unstract, just to name a few) and I have been largely disappointed by them, either because they fail to implement multimodal support, fail to give good context for "really tricky" PDFs / Word docs / Powerpoints, or are just plain difficult to use. In light of all these posts I figured I'd share my solution that has been working smoothly for me and my clients. I put it up on GitHub for free so you can check it…

About the feature: We built a tool for automatically assessing business health from complex management financial documents and bank statements. In order to get this working reliably, we had to iterate extensively on the prompts for the structured output at the field level. This led us to building a feature to allow users to improve them too, and with some context engineering, we have what we are calling “feedback loops”. Here is a 2 min demo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZDNlEZydoXU How it works (video runs through these steps): 1. Create a target form for your extraction…
