Tile.run – Extract structured data from any document via API
Hey HN, Today, we’re launching tile.run, an API that extracts structured data from unstructured documents (PDF, images, text) with support for custom schemas. The Problem: Extracting data out of unstructured documents is surprisingly hard. We built tile.run while solving this for our product Kili (automation for invoicing/reconciliation). We found that getting to accuracy that is reliable enough for automation is challenging. Dense documents (e.g., lots of tables or line items) are even harder, and these are the most valuable to automate. After talking to other teams and developers, we…
Tile.run – Extract structured data from any document via API launched on November 7, 2024 with 11 votes, #1,506 of 4,990 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 1 year on.
In plain words
Tile.run is an API that extracts structured data from unstructured documents including PDFs, images, and text files. Users define custom schemas to specify what data they need extracted, and the service handles complex documents with tables and multiple line items. It supports multiple formats and is designed for developers who need reliable data extraction for automation workflows like invoicing and reconciliation. The API is self-serve and accessible within minutes.

tile.run was a document processing API that allowed you to extract structured data from documents. We're no longer actively working on it because we've decided to leverage our document processing engine to build an end-to-end AI-powered financial operations agent forfrom tile.run

Talanoa▲346Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

Lovable▲1,477Hey HN! Previous CERN physicist turned hacker here. We've developed a way to make AI coding actually work by systematically identifying and fixing places where LLMs typically fail in full-stack development. Today we're launching as Lovable (previously gptengineer.app) since it's such a big change. The problem? AI writing code typically make small mistakes and then get stuck. Those who tried know the frustration. We fixed most of this by mapping out where LLMs fail in full-stack dev and engineering around those pitfalls with prompt chains. Thanks to this, in all comparisons I found with: v0,…

I wasn't quite sure if this qualified as "Show HN" given you can't really download it and try it out. However, dang said[0]: > If it's hardware or something that's not so easy to try out over the internet, find a different way to show how it actually works—a video, for example, or a detailed post with photos. Hopefully I did that? Additionally, I've put code and a detailed guide for the netboot computer management setup on GitHub: https://github.com/kentonv/lanparty Anyway, if this shouldn't have been Show HN, I apologize!
