Documind is an open-source tool that turns documents into structured data using AI. What it does: - Extracts specific data from PDFs based on your custom schema - Returns clean, structured JSON that's ready to use - Works with just a PDF link + your schema definition Just run npm install documind to get started.

Hi HN! My latest side project is knowledge graph that maps the French culinary network using data extracted from restaurant reviews from LeFooding.com. The project uses LLMs to extract structured information from unstructured text. Some technical aspects you may be interested in: - Used structured generation to reliably parse unstructured text into a consistent schema - Tested multiple models (Mistral-7B-v0.3, Llama3.2-3B, gpt4o-mini) for information extraction - Created an interactive visualization using gephi-lite and Retina (WebGL) - Built (with Claude) a simple Flask web app to clean and…

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…

Hey HN, I'm Adithya, a 20-year-old dev from India. I have been working with GenAI for the past year, and I've found it really painful to deal with the many different forms of data out there and get the best representation of it for my AI applications. That's why I built OmniParse—an open-source platform designed to handle any unstructured data and transform it into optimized, structured representations. Key Features: - Completely local processing—no external APIs - Supports ~20 file types - Converts documents, multimedia, and web pages to high-quality structured markdown - Table extraction,…

We've been building data pipelines that scrape websites and extract structured data for a while now. If you've done this, you know the drill: you write CSS selectors, the site changes its layout, everything breaks at 2am, and you spend your morning rewriting parsers. LLMs seemed like the obvious fix — just throw the HTML at GPT and ask for JSON. Except in practice, it's more painful than that: - Raw HTML is full of nav bars, footers, and tracking junk that eats your token budget. A typical product page is 80% noise. - LLMs return malformed JSON more often than you'd expect, especially with…

Hi HN! I built Docuglean, an open-source SDK for intelligent document processing that works with OpenAI, Mistral, Google Gemini, and Hugging Face models. The idea came from repeatedly writing boilerplate code to extract structured data from invoices, receipts, and other documents. Instead of wrestling with different API formats, I wanted a unified interface that: - Extracts structured data using Zod/Pydantic schemas - Classifies and splits multi-section documents (e.g., medical records) - Processes documents in batches with automatic error handling - Works locally without APIs (for…

I built a CLI tool in Go that extracts structured data (JSON, CSV, Parquet) from messy PDFs and HTML pages. The core idea: LLMs are great at understanding structure but wasteful for bulk data extraction. So smelt uses a two-pass architecture: 1. A fast Go capture layer parses the document and detects table-like regions 2. Those regions (not the whole document) get sent to Claude for schema inference — column names, types, nesting 3. The Go layer then does deterministic extraction using the inferred schema This means the LLM is never in the hot path of actual data processing. It figures out…

Hey HN! After struggling with complex prompt engineering and unreliable parsing, we built L1M, a simple API that lets you extract structured data from unstructured text and images. curl -X POST https://api.l1m.io/structured \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -H "X-Provider-Url: demo" \ -H "X-Provider-Key: demo" \ -H "X-Provider-Model: demo" \ -d '{ "input": "A particularly severe crisis in 1907 led Congress to enact the Federal Reserve Act in 1913", "schema": { "type": "object", "properties": { "items": { "type": "array", "items": { "type": "object", "properties": {…
