I'm actually adding "workflows" which allow the platform to ingest files via api, a cusom email address and hosted forms.

You could set a forward rule on your email and auto-forward all those to the [workflow_id]@endtype.email.

If you are interested I can setup an email for you, send me an email at support [at] endtype.com


Hey everyone. As AI gets better and better and multimodal I believe one of the most common use cases will extracting structured data from unstructured files. So things like shipping labels, bank statements, invoices, patents, etc.

I plan to release workflows soon which will simply take any file via email or form and save the structured content on a spreadsheet/csv or a new PDF.

Let me know if you would be interested in trying the workflows and if you have a use case to extract/organize different files.


I got one. Say I gave it a corpus of structured[1] files that follow Schema X, then I gave it a pile of outputs (PDF, HTML) generated from that corpus, where StructureFileName.xml = StructuredFileName.pdf. Could you see this doohickey being able to take in just the PDF/HTML/Word output, then output its best guess at chucking that into a Schema X file?

Pretty much everyone I work with are XML fetishists, and adore hard coded ontologies and taxonomies forged with many years of blood and sweat. I'm a bit more pragmatic and technology-minded. Even before AI I was pretty sure that using Python ML to generate a graph of keywords was a hell of a lot more useful than handcrafted ontology - doesn't cost hundreds of thousands of dollars in billable hours either. Now, with this stuff, we can get around hard coding all that structure itself, and maybe have source documents that normal people can read without about five zeroes worth of bespoke tools.

[1] And when I say "structured" I mean *completely frickin bananas".


Most likely you will be able to do this right away.

If not we could easily fine tune a custom model for this task, particularly if you already have a bunch of input/outputs.

Can you send me an email at support [at] endtype.com?



Hi. Yes, it’s like hosted version of sli.dev but for non-developers. With a focus on good looking slides, hosted url with slides for easy sharing and other great features..

Hey HN. I love building things, but it's hard. Currently my options are getting a full time job (and giving up entrepreneurship) or selling a few hours of my time. I'm hoping this works and I can collaborate and help a few companies while being able to work on my projects. Let me know if you have specific questions.


local running would be impossible as you would need your computer running 24/7 (since the widget is available on your website which is always online).

But building a simple RAG/Vector DB on top of llama3 is not very complicated.
