Glad to hear you have a good experience with it. I’m planning to evaluate it for my company’s use. I think there’s an opportunity to integrate LLMs so that non technical users can build on top of it using natural language.

I decided I wasn't done with the undead MLM scheme and instead of going to the temple I said: They're not ready to go to the temple yet. They want to make sure the zombies and skeletons succeed in their new "careers" so

Ironically administration overhead in many industries, particularly healthcare and education, has been growing over the past several decades despite increasing technology adoption. This is exactly the opposite of what you would expect given

How does Lume support this today without a pdf parser? Do you have the option to use a preexisting claim format or does the format have to be specified another way?
