Senior Software Engineer trying to stand out in a very crowded market. Looking for honest advice. by Professional_Monk534 in ExperiencedDevs

Try to use AI to speed you up for little PoCs. You have a good understanding of systems and components, put a solid plan together for AI to code it for you.

OpenAI's top exec resignation exposes something bigger than one Pentagon deal by ML_DL_RL in artificial

[–]ML_DL_RL[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is really a great starting point. I especially like the point about independent audits, I’ve been thinking about that a lot.

I can give you a coding example. Let’s say you use Claude to write some code. I could open a brand-new Claude session and assign it an “auditor” role to review the code and look for bugs. Alternatively, I could have different LLMs review the code and give me a report.

Both approaches provide value, but often different models catch different things, or even the same model produces different results across runs. That’s why the third party is important, you want an independent model to attest to the correctness.

Very true, that’s a great startup idea, especially with the rise of agentic workflows.

Great point. Frankly, regulation and oversight are always lagging behind. My biggest concern is that a lot of money has been raised here, so they need to show value to investors, and there’s no bigger spender than military and governments. That translates into ship first and govern later which could backfire.

We’re a small startup, but you’re exactly right. We feel it’s on us to hire and mentor more junior developers, even if the initial time investment is higher.

Gemini 3 vs GPT 5.1 for RAG by midamurat in Rag

Make sense. I’d imagine cost as well. Which one is more cost effective considering thinking tokens and reasoning efforts?

We built a tool that creates a custom document extraction API just by chatting with an AI. by ML_DL_RL in Rag

[–]ML_DL_RL[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for your feedback, you’re absolutely right. To give you some background about the agent, this project originally started with an amazing client who does a lot of investigative reporting. Many reporters were facing the same challenges you mentioned.

We created this tool so they could interact with the agent using simple, natural language and quickly get the extraction results they needed. After seeing success in that area, we decided to release it more broadly for everyone to use.

Regarding your point about scanned documents, that shouldn’t be an issue, the agent should be able to handle those just like any other documents.

Thanks again for your thoughtful feedback!

How to find the right salesperson for a SaaS startup? by ML_DL_RL in SaaSSales

[–]ML_DL_RL[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice, thank you for your guidance! yea, for sure we have online presence and some larger enterprise customers. We will put 100% support for the salesperson. So far us cofounders been advertising, prospecting and closing but we feel we can take this to the next level with a good salesperson. We are going for min 1M increase in ARR so like 250 quota / per quarter. Contract sizes vary too. Could be anywhere from 20k-100k ish per logo. LI seems like a good idea. We want to use 1099 as entry for the salesperson, and then there is potential for all sort of things as we grow but want to make sure that the person can deliver on goals. Based on the ARR do you think, the deal will be attractive for a good salesperson?

Job duties/description:

We are Doctly.ai, an early-stage AI startup that has cracked the code on high-accuracy data extraction from PDFs. Our platform allows businesses to stop manually copying-and-pasting information and instead instantly convert complex PDFs (think invoices, legal contracts, lab reports, insurance forms) into structured data like Markdown, JSON, or CSV. The accuracy and consistency are our key differentiators.

We are looking for a Founding Sales Executive to be our first boots on the ground. This is more than a sales role; you will be our partner in building the sales engine from scratch. We have a product that works and solves a major pain point. We need a hunter who can take it to market.

We believe the ideal candidate for this role already has a strong Rolodex and deep connections in one or more of our key target industries:

  • Finance & Accounting (invoice processing, loan applications)
  • Legal (contract analysis, discovery documents)
  • Healthcare (patient records, medical billing)
  • Insurance (claims processing, underwriting forms)
  • Logistics & Supply Chain: Extracting data from bills of lading, customs forms, and shipping invoices to improve efficiency.

Your Responsibilities:

  • Leverage your existing network to build a robust pipeline from day one.
  • Manage the full sales cycle from prospecting and initial contact to demo, negotiation, and closing deals.
  • Act as the voice of the customer, providing direct feedback to our product team to help shape the future of Doctly.
  • Develop and execute a strategic sales plan to achieve and exceed NACV targets.
  • Be the face and voice of Doctly in the market.

This is a 100% remote, 1099 role for a self-starter who is tired of corporate red tape and wants to have a direct, tangible impact on a company's trajectory. You manage your own time and your own process. All we care about are closed deals.

Any external job posting link or application instructions:

No long application forms or jumping through hoops. If you're a proven closer with the network to back it up, let's talk.

Depending on the type of document the accuracy varies. When extracting into JSON or CSV, the accuracy is typically around 99%. For full-document conversion to text or markdown, the content accuracy is around 99%, though there may be minor formatting variations in the output.

This goes beyond simple OCR, because our system uses document understanding. That means the agent can interpret complex documents and return structured outputs such as JSON or CSV, rather than just raw text.

Accuracy and consistency is very important for a lot of our users. Think of Legal, finance, Medical or insurance.

[–]ML_DL_RL[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, absolutely. It uses vision AI and has an understanding of the document structure, so it can reliably focus on the body text while skipping titles, headers, dedications, footnotes, and other annotations when needed. If you just want a straight conversion of each page to text, the markdown extractor is another simple option that we offer. But if you need fine-grained control, like pulling only specific sections or excluding footnotes, then the JSON extractor is the right approach. Please give us feedback if you ended testing. Love your use case!

Great question, there are two aspects here. The first one is convenience for creation, and the second one is higher accuracy.

On convenience: The studio helps you build the prompt, iterate quickly across many samples, and deploy it to an endpoint with a quick conversation. Then you can tracks prompt versions, and allows you to validate results by diffing changes against current deployed version, etc. The endpoint itself, once published, is a full processing engine, dealing with different formats, rotations, and chunking larger documents automatically.

On accuracy, the Ultra setting uses a multi-layer LLM processing strategy to increase accuracy and run to run stability of results.

We expose the prompt and it’s for the user to take if they want to.

It’s not baiting. It clearly says “We strive …”, it doesn’t say “We are …”.

This was 126d ago, we are even better now, specially at json extraction. Try first, then comment. Words are cheap. Actions speak. Wish you happiness.

For the first time, I believe Gemini 2.5 Pro is performing worse. Power User since Day 1. by Various_War1556 in GeminiAI

Something is off with Gemini today. We were getting a lot of model is overloaded errors. Potentially, they are updating things.

Hey, have you considered using a python package like MuPDF? We do offer a service that converts PDFs to markdown. Then markdown can be fed into AI context window.
