Perhaps I'm biased since we're in a document heavy industry, but I think the original post misses a lot of the non-tech company use cases. An insane percentage of human time is spent copy pasting things from documents.

In our position we're only hiring for in person roles, so location/authorization is a must have. But in regards to US/EU remote, I imagine the EU candidates come with slightly higher overhead (different payroll processing, em

Honestly I think "applying for jobs" is becoming a thing of the past. From the employer side, it's becoming incredibly difficult to find qualified inbound candidates. The main issues is AI + non-US spam. Every job listing we

This is certainly something I have felt. The idea of spending a day or two debugging a small problem, coming up with the right regex, or setting up boilerplate is all gone. Now it's 30 seconds, and you're right back to the high le

The Coupa portal is an amazing example because I've had to personally spend ~10+ hours clicking that new invoice button and retyping the exact same info. If you want to set up monthly billing in Coupa, you just manually create 12 invoi

I'm glad to see I'm not alone here! Was really excited about it, and tried pretty hard to make it through the first season but couldn't make it. It just had too much of that early 2000's cable TV style drama. Which I und

It would be nice to see an actual picture of the physical business card here. Also do you handle sending the design to a manufacturer, or do I need to download and send myself?

This just seems like massive user error. The same thing could have happened in a low tech environment. And the notetaker just made it more obvious. Ex: Hop on a conference call with a group of people, Person A "leaves early" but d

Sure, concrete example. We do conversational AI for banks, and spend a lot of time on the compliance side. Biggest thing is we don't want the LLM to ever give back an answer that could violate something like ECOA. So every message that

This depends on whether you mean LLMs in the sense of single shot, or LLMs + software built around it. I think a lot of people conflate the two. In our application e use a multi-step check_knowledge_base workflow before and after each LLM r

This just depends a lot on how well you can parse down the context prior to passing to an LLM. Ex: Reading contracts or legal documents. Usually a 50 page document that you can't very effectively cherry pick from. Since different claus

Hey we've done a lot of research on this side [1] (OCR vs direct image + general LLM benchmarking). The biggest problem with direct image extraction is multipage documents. We found that single page extraction (OCR=>LLM vs Image=LLM

Honestly I think it would have to: 1) Benchmark meaningfully higher than other models 2) Be offered by a cloud provider (like Azure+OpenAI / AWS+Anthropic). Otherwise you have very little track record in model/api stability. Espec

This is something we've been doing as well, and it's pretty magical when the user has a fully customized experience. That said, it required the user to sign in with their real work email or the results are way off.
