Hi HN!

We’re excited to share what we’ve been working on—a bot that automates the tedious task of processing unstructured documents from emails and entering them into ERPs. After many iterations, we’ve achieved 99.8% accuracy in extracting and mapping data from invoices, POs, and other documents.

One surprising takeaway from this journey: building the AI was only 10% of the challenge! The real work came from handling edge cases, integrating seamlessly with various ERPs, and creating a reliable pipeline for real-world documents with messy formats.

We’d love your feedback, thoughts, or questions about how we built this, the challenges we faced, or anything else. Let us know what you think!

Thanks for checking it out!

Something I learned over time is to judge people by the results they bring, not my personal feelings and whether I like them. As a consequence I've had to concede the fact that Elon Musk possesses a "key" to managing tech companies that routinely puts him far above the norm despite his many detractors.

His track record in terms of reliability, range and magnitude of success is unprecedented and signals that despite all his apparent personal faults he possesses a skill, sensitivity or decision making capability that puts him ahead of thousands of other very smart, hardworking people.

Does anyone have any insight, based on what they've read, seen or know about working at his companies that provides an explanation for this?

Thinking of the following weekend project, which would allow users to get notified over email whenever a HN post in their favorites, gets new comments or updates. Could be your post or someone else.

It could work as follows:

- Go to HN and find a post you like, visit the post page like https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1 - Add it to your favorites list by clicking [favorite] right at the top

The following signup needs to be done only once:

- visit https://todo-hn-notifier.com - sign in with email - provide your HN username

Whenever a new comment appears in one of the favorite posts, an email is being sent. (With an easy unsubscribe link)

WDYT? Would you find such a web service useful? Any extra features would be cool to add?

Thank you.
