DeepTagger

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…

DeepTagger launched on September 17, 2025 with 386 votes, #58 of 8,160 launches that month and more than 99% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 1 year on.

In plain words

DeepTagger is a no-code platform that converts documents into structured data through interactive labeling. Users highlight relevant information in sample documents, and the system uses these examples to automatically extract matching data from new documents. The platform is designed for teams who need to process large volumes of documents and includes API access for integration with other tools.

From the sources

DeepTagger is a no-code platform that makes your judgment scalable. It uses your annotations as an example to extract information from new documents. Highlight what matters to you once, and let DeepTagger handle the rest with precision. API access included.

We're pivoting. DeepTagger is being rethought from the ground up — same mission, sharper focus. We'll share more when we'refrom deeptagger.com

    I built this tool because I wanted a way to just take a bunch of URLs or domains, and query their content in RAG applications. It takes away the pain of crawling, extracting content, chunking, vectorizing, and updating periodically. I'm curious to see if it can be useful to others. I meant to launch this six months ago but life got in the way...

  • Autolabel, a Python library to label and enrich text data with LLMs2023 · github.com · ▲153

    Hi HN! I'm excited to share Autolabel, an open-source Python library to label and enrich text datasets with any Large Language Model (LLM) of your choice. We built Autolabel because access to clean, labeled data is a huge bottleneck for most ML&#x2F;data science teams. The most capable LLMs are able to label data with high accuracy, and at a fraction of the cost and time compared to manual labeling. With Autolabel, you can leverage LLMs to label any text dataset with <5 lines of code. We’re eager for your feedback!

    Hi HackerNews, Lately, I have seen an explosion in posts offering paid APIs&#x2F;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 &#x2F; Word docs &#x2F; 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…

  • I made a built-from scratch Wayland Compositor to display any GUI app* in the terminal! I think there is a lot of unexplored potential in custom Wayland compositors, a lot of really cool things you can embed existing applications into! So, I started with embedding apps into the terminal because that is the easiest input&#x2F;output (output is just utf-8 and I use the great `chafa` library for that, and I just read from stdin for the input). If you have any other ideas for cool Wayland compositors, let me know. I purposedly wrote 80% the app in Typescript to appeal to the most developers and…

    Years ago I stumbled across a basic version of this concept and it stuck with me. I knew if I was ever going to take on such a project, it would need to be flawless, but without coding experience it was just another idea that would never happen. By the end of 2024, as AI coding tools exploded everywhere, I finally had a way to make it real. I started from zero knowledge and spent months collaborating with AI agents as a learning experience. Every pixel and every function went through me. The AI translated what I asked for into code, but every decision was human. I didn't use existing OS…
