Amazing. Pitched the same idea for a startup with my students back in 2020 (never got very far though as every member of the budding team got busy with other things). Was convinced we could turn the language models of the time into this back then and now a few years later it is done through API calls to a third party. We truly live in interesting times.

"What We Do

Kadoa is an AI-powered no-code platform that allows anyone to build complex data workflows effortlessly. We use AI to navigate, understand, and transform unstructured data from any source. The orchestrating AI agent chooses the best strategy for each task, such as where to go, what to extract, and how to format the data. We do this at scale and"

I especially liked the "We do this at scale and" (verbatim) bit.

/ Trusted by

Probably no-one.

/ Why Kadoa

Because founders need to eat, too!

/ Popular use cases

There aren't any, because this isn't actually an established business but a GPT-4 wrapper that didn't exist months ago.

Have we come round to AI-generated startups? Truly a revelation.

Nine months ago HN user genmon posted the results of his experiments to classify the BBC In Our Time podcast using ChatGPT: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35073603

It's the same principle. Give the podcast text to ChatGPT in chunks, ask it to classify using Dewey decimal system, pull out guests and mentioned books, and summarise the episode.

It's funny that user nl posits that 'We are months away from being able to do this with images too' - we were indeed months away! End of September, to be precise https://openai.com/blog/chatgpt-can-now-see-hear-and-speak

Some have substance, but most are simply thin wrappers with no real defensible moat. Best to let time tell what’s successful.

Extract data easily, no mention of accurately.

Actually, yes there is.

>How accurate are the results? What about hallucination?

>Kadoa validates the data accuracy through multiple steps, ensuring reliable and accurate data extraction. For example, we verify that the extracted data truly exists on the source. Kadoa tries to strike a balance between limiting noise (precision) and including all valid parts (recall). While being robust, it also operates efficiently, processing millions of data records in production.
