@theo Open source attempt on the way

[Corrin Data and Systems @JTCorrinData]

clocks go back on Sunday so a lot more people will be finishing shifts and locking up in the dark from next week. good time to check anyone working on their own has a way to raise an alert, and that someone will actually see it

[Corrin Data and Systems @JTCorrinData]

@PPQdotAI @TinfoilAI nice one. does it catch names inside attached PDFs and scans too, or just the prompt text? that's usually where it sneaks in

[Corrin Data and Systems @JTCorrinData]

@swarogan bit of both. APIs for the general stuff, but anything with client names, bank details etc either stays local or gets stripped out before it leaves. we built File Croc for that bit

[Corrin Data and Systems @JTCorrinData]

This might just be the way. Might vibe code an open source railway that can spin up the required infra on AWS or Azure or Google depending on the best price at the time.

Open source it.

Who's down for getting involved?

F’it, just put your entire stack on the hyperscalers.

Don’t use Superbase, Resend, Heroku Vercel, Railway, Twilio, Loveable, WordPress, Mailchimp,

Just build it all on AWS, Azure, GCP, and Cloudflare.

@_jsolly Starting to think like this

[Corrin Data and Systems @JTCorrinData]

@liambraus This is fairly dated now and just like the superior moshi, the model behind it, the "intelligence", is not great.

[Corrin Data and Systems @JTCorrinData]

@X my chats have disappeared. What do i do to get them back?

[Corrin Data and Systems @JTCorrinData]

quick one if you redact PDFs. drawing a black box over a name usually just hides it, the text is still there underneath. select it, copy and paste into notepad, if it comes back it's not redacted

File Croc takes it out properly if you want to give it a go: https://t.co/6uTGvQInfd

[Corrin Data and Systems @JTCorrinData]

quick one for anyone running night security or late shifts on their own. agree a check-in time before the shift starts, and agree what actually happens if it's missed. most places do the first bit and forget the second

[Corrin Data and Systems @JTCorrinData]

@mattwatsonkc fair for most people tbh. where open source makes sense is when you need the CRM to do something specific to your industry that HubSpot just won't do. it's why we built Headquarters, but if HubSpot fits you then stick with it

[Corrin Data and Systems @JTCorrinData]

@innopro_ Ollama's great for this. one thing people miss though, offline doesn't help much if the docs you feed it are full of client names, bank details etc and you end up sharing the outputs later. strip that stuff before it goes in and you're properly covered

[Corrin Data and Systems @JTCorrinData]

How's everyone getting on with the API key rotation? I 99% sure I've covered everything 👀

[Corrin Data and Systems @JTCorrinData]

@iamkylebalmer worth adding to the setup: Settings > Privacy, turn off model training before you upload any real contracts. and if it's a client's contract take their names and bank details out first, it doesn't need them to review the clauses

[Corrin Data and Systems @JTCorrinData]

@somarkai element-level output is really nice. have you tested it much on scanned forms with handwriting? that's where most parsers fall over, insurance claims, HR forms etc

[Corrin Data and Systems @JTCorrinData]

@LearnWithBrij mostly PDFs, voice notes and photos from site. the photos catch people out, faces and GPS data go straight into the index unless you strip them first. it's half the reason we built File Croc tbh, that step kept getting skipped

[Corrin Data and Systems @JTCorrinData]

@Sumanth_077 the layout coords are the bit I'd use most. chunking by element (table as one chunk, caption with its figure) beats fixed-size chunks every time. we're on the other side of this, PDFs to clean text and chunks with personal stuff stripped out: https://t.co/QSldjs0384

[Corrin Data and Systems @JTCorrinData]

@rubenhassid Good shout on turning training off. I'd add one more: swap the real names, bank details and addresses in the contract for placeholders before you attach it. Claude doesn't need them to spot a dodgy usage rights clause

[Corrin Data and Systems @JTCorrinData]

@jerryjliu0 @nvidia sub-1B and top of the board is mad. parsing's only half the job though, the docs people actually want in RAG are full of names, phone numbers, signatures etc. would love to see ParseBench score PII handling one day
