panda{·}etl - Automate your document workflows

👋 Hey Product Hunt community! We're excited to share something we've been working on at Sinaptik (YC W24). After creating pandas-ai (chat with your tables), we've had countless conversations with data analysts and business experts about their daily struggles. These chats revealed some common frustrations: 1. Valuable insights buried in messy, hard-to-read files 2. The headache of managing documents with different permission settings 3. RAG chatbots that seemed promising but ended up being costly data dumps 4. And the ever-present challenge of bridging the gap between business experts and developers These weren't just abstract problems - we saw how they affected real people trying to do their jobs efficiently. So, we rolled up our sleeves and got to work. We talked to analysts, data scientists, and business users to understand their needs. The result is panda{·}etl, a tool we hope will make life easier for anyone dealing with document-heavy workflows. With panda{·}etl, you can: 1. Upload those tricky files (you know, the PDFs, images, and audio files that usually cause headaches) 2. Define exactly what data you need (whether it's ESG metrics, competitors data, market trends, risk engineering reports, insurance claims) 3. Get spreadsheets where you can actually trace where each piece of data came from 4. Easily validate and export your data 5. And use our pandas-ai powered chat to explore your extractions, plot charts and add them to drafts We've built panda{·}etl with flexibility in mind, offering solutions ranging from SaaS to On-Premise: 1. For individuals, we offer a free personal plan with limited documents processed and extractions per month. It's perfect for trying out the tool and for smaller projects. 2. For businesses, we have scalable plans that grow with your needs, files size and amount of docs. 3. For enterprises, we provide custom solutions, including on-premise deployments for those with specific security or compliance requirements. We're still learning and improving, and that's why we're here. We'd love to hear your thoughts, experiences, or even your data horror stories. How do you deal with unstructured data in your work? What solutions have you tried? Let's chat - we're genuinely curious to learn from this community! 🙌

Congrats! Do you have an API? My use case: I want to build a QA system for my CSV tables with survey results (some cells may contain numbers, and some contain text), and it needs to work within my product

It's sleeeeeeek! Congrats @gabriele_venturi & team 🔥🔥🔥

Congrats on the launch, @gabriele_venturi ! I love that there's also an open-source version. It will be useful across a variety of fields in different industries. Wishing your team great success! - I'll definitely give it a try. :)

Congrats! The product seems very successful. Are you able to extract information from tables in PDFs?

Congrats to the panda.etl team! This tool sounds like a fantastic way to simplify turning unstructured data into actionable insights. Looking forward to seeing how it helps streamline data extraction!

Very great product. Amazing UI

This sounds really intriguing, @gdc! I'm curious about the specific types of data points that can be extracted. How customizable is the extraction process for different file types? Also, what kind of support do you offer for users who might be new to data extraction? Would love to know more!

This sounds like a game-changer for data handling! 🦾 It's like you took the pain points of data analysts and turned them into a scalable solution. The ability to upload various file types and get actionable insights is something we seriously need. Can't wait to see how panda{·}etl evolves—very curious about the pricing models for businesses too! Keep those updates coming, @gdc! How's the initial traction looking?

Nice product @gabriele_venturi , can you share a bit more about how it works? Does it extract text from the PDF or does it do OCR? If it extract text strings, how do you deal with tables which can turn out all messed up with newlines and weird formatting?
