Show HN: AI bot that automatically processes unstructured documents

Hacker News - Fri, 11/22/2024 - 8:20pm

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!

Ask HN: What gives Elon Musk's companies their edge?

Hacker News - Fri, 11/22/2024 - 8:05pm

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?
