Honest question but how do you see your business being affected as foundational models improve? While I have massive complaints about them, Gemini + structured outputs is working remarkably well for this internally and it's only getting better. It's also an order of magnitude cheaper than anything I've seen commercially.

We're excited for foundational models to improve because we hope it will unlock a lot more use cases. Things like analysis after extraction, able to accurately extract extremely complex documents, etc!

Curious - have you compared Gemini against Anthropic and OpenAI’s offerings here? Am needing to do something similar for a one-off task and simply need to choose a model to use.

Gemini is an awful developer experience but accuracy for OCR tasks is close to perfect. The pricing is also basically unbeatable - works out to 1k 10k pages per dollar depending on the model. OpenAI has subtle hallucinations and I haven’t profiled Anthropic.

If I may ask which model are you using? I have tried OCR'ing my bank statements in AI studio and the results have been less than optimal. Specifically it has a tendency to ignore certain instructions combined with screwing up the order.

Some pointers on what worked for you would be greatly appreciated.
