Show HN: Data Extraction with Flexible Schemas

5 pointsby sails5 months ago
Hey!<p>We’ve built a data extraction tool to flexibly automate data and document processing.<p>You’ve probably seen a few of these, so have we! A few of us have been varyingly stuck trying to automate the extraction of borrower financials for the past 5 years.<p>We think that there are a few missing features of most data extraction tools.<p>* They are usually too complex to quickly get up and running<p>* They are overly constrained in terms of what workflows and documents they support<p>We’ve always felt like speed and flexibility were sticking points, so we went slightly orthogonal to the alternatives.<p>It is deliberately very simple, with three key features<p>1. Generate a custom schema that is the target of the data extraction<p>2. Logic and “expert insights” can get added to field level prompts<p>3. Ability to share with externals via chat to get data and feedback, quickly!<p>The demo page is at <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;go.sea.dev" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;go.sea.dev</a> with an explainer and link to demo.<p>The demo app is constrained, but feel free to get in touch with me with details if you’d like to unlock the full capabilities<p>Some of the features we are working on:<p>* Improvements on OCR<p>* Advanced data management<p>* Email or WhatsApp to accept responses<p>* API and embedded data collection copilot for SaaS<p>* Meeting recording plugin, and streaming audio<p>* Securely share partial submissions with 3rd party for completion<p>* Enrichment via website scraping<p>* Integrations (Hubspot, Sheets etc)<p>We are a very small team, with a mix of researchers and engineers. We are leaning into improvements in data extraction, conversation evals and data structuring innovation to make the product as powerful and seamless as possible.<p>Our background is in financial services, so most of our effort is going into that use-case (business risk assessment to be specific), we’ve solved a bunch of our internal use cases as well as general purpose customer problems, so we thought to share it with a wider audience.<p>Would love to get your feedback and comments!
