    The users specify the schema and output format and a validation rule and we make sure the system adheres to that.

    Super cool! This aligns with our experiences. These tools are great and can get to near 100% of accuracy but it's quite a lot of work on the Eng side to get it there reliably.

    Great to hear that you worked saw similar use cases. Doing this before LLMs seem like a big challenge.

    Yes, we combine LLMs as a judge with traditional checks like reverse search in original data sources, defining your own post-processing logic, and simple classifier for confidence …

    A few that we experience as we’re building Trellis out: 1. Managing end-to-end workflows from integrating with data sources, automatically triggering new runs when there’s new data…

    Unstructured seems to be focusing a lot on the document chunking and data ingestion into RAGs part. Trellis handles the process end-to-end from extraction to transforming the data …

    Getting a lot of love from HN so the demo site and data processing might slow down by quite a bit. We're fixing it right now!

    Good question and we have seen this extraction workflow a lot in financial services. We just added table mode to the product (select table in transformation parameters) where we ex…

    Totally! The structured extraction from AI is only a small part in the product. Beyond the list above we also built 1. Custom validation that allows end users to validate outputs w…

    Thanks! We also start to see the patterns where search systems are being improved with filters and hierarchy level metadata. Another use case that people use Trellis for is ingesti…

    We face similar challenges you listed and handle all of the above. 1. Out of the box OCR doesn't perform as well for complex documents (with tables, images, etc.). We use vision mo…
