Document extraction with human feedback loop
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…
What it does
In the maker’s words, at launch
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 (AI helps create it) 2. Upload a document (choose from different models) 3. Review the quality of the extraction (and check the PDF citations) 4. If there are any mistakes, correct them and give feedback at the field level 5. Once you feel like you've seen enough errors and provided enough corrections, use the Feedback workflow to refine your field descriptions. You can try the app here https://app.sea.dev/ (it works best when you do at least 2-3 reasonable extractions between prompt refinements) The feedback feature is currently in beta. If you make some corrections and then go to https://app.sea.dev/feedback you'll see them ready for review and refinement. I would love to get feedback on how we might improve this idea. The video was a toy example but it is live and working with a few early credit analysts customers and they seem to like it.

Hi HN! I am Maria, solo founder of DataQA (https://dataqa.ai/), a tool to search and label documents for various NLP tasks (e.g. entity extraction, entity linking, etc). I have worked as a data scientist and ML engineer for the better part of a decade, and over that time have specialised mainly in applications involving natural language processing (NLP). One of the key questions I have always had at the back of my mind is whether my time was well spent. Whenever I spent more time on feature engineering or trying different models, I always wondered whether I would get better…

Hi HN, I built Eigendrum, a web tool that solves the 2D wave equation for arbitrary shapes so you can hear what they sound like as drums. How it works: * Solves -∇²u = λu using finite element analysis (Kφ = λMφ) on a triangle mesh. * Validated to <0.1% error against closed-form solutions for circles (Bessel zeros) and rectangles. * Sound model factors in strike location, Rayleigh damping, and mallet width. * Includes Kac drums I & II to demonstrate identical sound spectra from different geometries. * No frameworks, build steps, or dependencies. Repo and tests:…

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/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…
