Lume – automate data mappings using AI
Hi HN! I'm Nicolas, co-founder of Lume, a seed-stage startup (https://www.lume.ai/). At Lume, we use AI to automatically transform your source data into any desired target schema in seconds, making onboarding client data or integrating with new systems take seconds rather than days or weeks. In other words, we use AI to automatically map data between any two data schemas, and output the transformed data to you. We are live with customers and are just beginning to open up our product to more prospects. Although we do not have a sandbox yet, here is a video walkthrough of how…
In plain words
Lume uses AI to automatically transform data from one schema to another in seconds. It is designed for businesses that need to onboard client data or integrate with new systems, tasks that traditionally take days or weeks. The product maps data between any two schemas and outputs the transformed data, with the company currently working with live customers.

We are live with customers and are just beginning to open up our product to more prospects. Although we do not have a sandbox yet, here is a video walkthrough of how the product works: https://www.loom.com/share/c651b9de5dc8436e91da96f88e7256ec?.... And, here is our documentation: https://docs.lume.ai. We would love to get you set up to test it, so please reach out. Using Lume: we do not have self-serve yet. In the meantime, you can request full access to our API through the Request Access button in https://www.lume.ai. The form asks for quick information e.g. email so that I can reach out to you to onboard you. Please mention you came from HN and I’ll prioritize your request. How our full API product offering works: Through Lume’s API, users can specify their source data and target schema. Lume’s engine, which includes AI and rule-based models, creates the desired transformation under the hood by producing the necessary logic, and returns the transformed data in the response. We also support mapper deployment, which allows you to edit and save the AI generated mappers for important production use cases. This allows you to confidently reuse a static and deterministic mapper for your data pipelines. Our clients have three primary use cases - Ingest Client Data: Each client you work with handles data differently. They name, format, and handle their data in their own way, and it means you have to iteratively ingest each new client's data. - Normalize data from unique data systems. To provide your business value, your team needs to connect to various data providers or handle legacy data. Creating pipelines from each one is time consuming, and things as small as column name differences between systems makes it burdensome to get started. - Build and maintain data pipelines. Creating different pipelines to that map to your target schema, whether for BI tooling, downstream data processing, or other purposes, means you have to manually create and maintain these mappings between schemas. We're still trying to figure out pricing so we don't have that on our website yet - sorry, but we wanted to share this even though it's still at an early stage. We’d love your feedback, ideas & questions. Also, feel free to reach out to me directly at [email protected]. Thank you.

I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.

Hey HN, Henry from Cactus here! We previously released Cactus Needle, a 14MB agentic LLM for tool call, device use, and structured extraction for phones, wearables, smart homes, small robots and microcontrollers. We got really great feedback here, and have now incorporated the suggestions to release Needle 2. The whole model is a single 14MB binary that runs a full session in 28MB of RAM; 45m parameters at 2bit compression. Needle hits 500 tokens/sec decode speed on a Raspberry Pi 5, sits between 400-1,500 tokens/sec on VR devices like Meta Quest 3S and Apple Vision Pro, and ranges…

Hi HN! I’m proud to share that we have built a real 3rd party iMessage client for Android. We did it by reverse engineering the iMessage protocol and encryption system. It's available to download today (no waitlist): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.beeper.ima and there's a technical writeup here: https://blog.beeper.com/p/how-beeper-mini-works. Unlike every other attempt to build an iMessage app for Android (including our first gen app), Beeper Mini does not use a Mac server relay in the cloud. The app connects directly to Apple…

Hey! I made Heynote entirely for my own use case. For many years, I always had an Emacs instance running with the scratch buffer open, even long after I had abandoned Emacs as my programming editor in favor of more recent IDE:s. The simplicity of having just one big scratch buffer appeals to me, but I still want to separate the different things I jot down somehow (without using tabs or similar). Previously, my solution was to insert a bunch of blank lines between the notes, but hitting C-A would still select the entire buffer. That's why I came up with the concept of "blocks", which turned…
