My current company uses ML to parse PDF invoices and identify fraud. I have no idea how the devs manage this black magic wizardry because they also spend time contributing to infra code before they hired more people like me on board. If anyone wants a great startup idea, look to solving a problem involving parsing PDFs en masse. Maybe something in legal tech. That market is absolutely ripe for disruption.

Droit does similar things.

That is awesome! Can “cross border” do things like process GDPR compliance regulations or is that not the intended use case?

I’m not entirely sure. I didn’t get hired there back when I applied and interviewed. :( Certainly seemed like a lot of interesting tech. And they use Clojure.
