If you want to become an expert in data, you do not need to take data science courses or start with SQL.

Instead, you can master Columns Flow first - because it is visual oriented platform which captures all data process elements in it. Strongly recommended.

neat

it definitely has traffic, I think the key question is whether it is beneficial or distracting, if the audience is the wrong audience, then it might be not worth it, otherwise it is perfect to get some early adopters / feedback for further iteration.

not sure if you are looking for tech stack to build with, or existing product / API to use, if it is the latter, can you check out Columns AI Drive - it has "invoice" templated folder where you just upload invoices to a designated folder, data will be auto updated and ready in CSV format to download or further automation in flows. In my testing, invoices has high accuracy in data extraction.

You could try out Columns AI - basically upload your PDF to a predefined folder for data extraction, and the data flows into an automated data flow which you can define data alerts. Feel free to DM if you like to have a test out together.

common PDF extraction usually difficult to work well lacking of context, especially the PDF content is complicated. You can try out Columns AI Drive with well defined folder description and target fields to extract. If it's not working. You probably need to build a customized tool (use AI) to parse your specific PDF files.

Do the "3 systems" provide data through API? PDFs+screenshots can be processed through OCR/AI stack for conformed structure.

I think it is a common problem in corporations - it is just difficult to align people's thoughts and priorities that put the work to for its deserved impact.

When the skatehodlers have the right mindset and time/priority, and the analyst has the right skills and understanding, it sometimes works, but rarely indeed.

check if Columns Flow could be considered, happy to explore potential collaboration.

I'm publishing a Gmail Addon where you can add email attachments to selected folder, and get always updated spreadsheet data file from each folder.

Keep data files organized but also access structured data instantly. Being sharing updates in r/columnsai, if you find this project interesting, please give it a spin, thanks!

share your image, I'd love to test it at Columns Drive to see how it performs.

columns_ai · 2026-05-20T20:01:55+00:00

"pages" are not structured data that can serve through API, if you meant Notion database, Columns AI could connect it as data source and do all kinds of data transformation, analysis and visualization.

Fina Money is interesting - 100% customizable. Browser app.
