What is Unstructured.io?

Simply put, Unstructured.io is like a Swiss Army knife for anyone who needs to navigate through the jungle of unstructured data. This open-source framework is dedicated to making the extraction and processing of unstructured data – think PDFs, PowerPoint presentations, and much more – a breeze.

Why We Chose Unstructured.io

At hermine.ai, we struggled with a variety of PDF formats. Every time we thought we had it figured out, a new format would come around the corner. Then, our clients suddenly wanted us to process PowerPoint presentations and DOCX documents as well. Our team was scratching their heads: How are we going to manage this without creating a huge mess?

The answer: Unstructured.io. With its help, we were finally able to establish a stable, flexible process to extract clean, structured information from the muddle of data. And the best part? We could host it ourselves – a real must due to GDPR.

How Unstructured.io Has Our Back

Imagine having a magic pair of glasses that lets you find exactly what you need in any pile of papers instantly. Unstructured.io is our magic glasses. We have it running on a server in Europe and can now breathe more easily. No matter what kind of data comes in, we can transform it into a clean format and use it for our AI processes.

The Flow at hermine.ai

With Unstructured.io at our back, we at hermine.ai now have a workflow that allows us to handle unstructured data of any kind. Sure, a bit of preparation and post-processing is still involved, but we no longer have to wrestle with half a dozen different parsers just to cope with PDFs.

A concrete example of how Unstructured.io has helped us can be seen in the eCommerce sector. We were faced with the challenge of converting thousands of PDFs with product data directly from the manufacturer into a uniform format for a webshop for one of our clients. With Unstructured.io, it was a piece of cake. The framework allowed us to automatically extract, structure, and integrate the data into our system, saving us time and resources and enabling us to offer new products to our customers more quickly.

Integration with AI Models: Unstructured.io can be seamlessly integrated with AI models to further improve and refine data extraction.
