    Kalmia started as a small hobby project about two months ago, but it quickly evolved when we needed a better solution to manage our office's documentation. It has now become our go-to tool for both internal and user-facing docs. Recently, we decided to open source it, as we believe others might benefit from a lightweight, customizable documentation system like this. We're excited to see how the community can take it further, contribute, and adapt it to their own needs!

    Hey HN! We’re Alberto, Carmelo, and Adrian, the founders of Invofox (https://invofox.com/) — the document processing AI built for software companies and developers. We started two years ago with invoice processing, but we’ve since expanded our capabilities to include utility bills, purchase orders, bank statements, pay slips, receipts, and checks. Why launch on Hacker News now, especially since we’re S22 batch? As we’ve grown, one of the most common questions we hear is: “Can Invofox handle this document type too?” To solve this, we’ve just launched Custom Documents…

    This started out as a weekend hack with gpt-4-mini, using the very basic strategy of "just ask the ai to ocr the document". But this turned out to be better performing than our current implementation of Unstructured/Textract. At pretty much the same cost. I've tested almost every variant of document OCR over the past year, especially trying things like table / chart extraction. I've found the rules based extraction has always been lacking. Documents are meant to be a visual representation after all. With weird layouts, tables, charts, etc. Using a vision model just make sense! In…

    Hi HN, I built a tool for teaching LLMs how to extract structured data from documents by annotating, not prompt engineering. I’d love your feedback. How it works: - Upload a document (DOCX, PDF, image, etc.) - Select and tag parts of it (supports nesting, arrays, custom tag structures) - Upload another document → click "predict" → see editable annotations - Amend them and save as a new example - Call the API with a third document → get JSON back Use cases: - Identify "important clauses" in contracts - Extract "total value" from invoices - Anything subjective, like "healthy ingredients" on a…

    Most products that touch PDFs or images quietly rebuild the same thing: a hacked-together “router” that picks which OCR/vision API to call, normalizes the responses, and prays the bill is sane at the end of the month. DocsRouter is that layer as a product: one stable API that talks to multiple OCR engines and vision LLMs, lets you route per document based on cost/quality/latency, and gives you normalized outputs (text, tables, fields) so your app doesn’t care which provider was used. It’s meant for teams doing serious stuff with documents: invoices/receipts, contracts,…
