This is awesome. Have you seen / heard of any benchmarks where the data is actually a structured JSON vs. markdown?

Yes, we needed to solve the problem for our other product (https://kili.so). We spent a lot of time getting accuracy up for dense and multi-page invoices. Then realised other teams have this need as well so decided to ship the API.

On the accuracy point, given our work so far we believe we are best in class in terms of accuracy for document extraction. We've also set up a system of evaluations internally that allow us to keep iterating and improving (hence us mentioning that we want to continue working on it).

Not off topic at all!

I can only speak to our experience. Once you get under the hood, you find that this is a hard problem to solve.

There are also a lot of workflows that involve documents in every sector and every function. In other words, the opportunity is massive.

For our product, our customers are either internal engineering teams or folks building products that require document extraction but don’t want to invest time in it.

We're focussed on company operations (accounting, procurement etc).

The tool is totally self serve and does allow you to set up, upload and access documents.

We clearly need to call that out more so will add this to the landing page
