Yes, each day the game maker creates a timely and relevant crossword. So in this case the person behind it is the loss

Because for the typical office - documents are strewn about on random network drives and are not formatted similarly. This combined with the inability to nail down 100% accuracy on even just internal doc search is just too much to overcome for non-tech industry offices. My office is mind blown if i use Gemini to extract data from a PDF and convert it to an .xlsx or .csv

As a technically minded person but not a comp sci guy, refining document search is like staring into a void and every option uses different (confusing) terminology. This makes it extra difficult for me to both do my regular job AND learn the multiple names/ways to do the exact same thing between platforms.

The only solution that has any reliability for me so far are Gemini instances where i upload only the files i wish to search and just keep it locked to a few questions per instance before it starts to hallucinate.

My attempt at RAG search implementation was a disaster that left me more confused than anything.

Because you mentioned the use case specifically, I wanted to point you to the fact that Excel has been able to convert images to tables for a while now. Literally screenshot a table from your PDF and it will convert to table. Not trying to diminish any additional capabilities you're getting from Gemini, but this screenshot to table feature has been huge for my finance team.

try https://www.papr.ai for RAG. built it to solve this problem

I notice this as well, i think it is because the autocorrect is turned off and we may just be so used to it learning our typing habits that our "raw" typing is really that bad

dont shoot the messenger, but it's supposed to be like a "butler sounding name"

Got it - and Jenkins and Hudson were already taken.

I am in the same boat, daily user of Cabinet Vision. Did you know the same founder made both and sold them off within a few years of one another?

I did, and by many accounts CV is just as bad as Mozaik, although significantly more capable.

Mozaik is bad because it tries to do everything itself, badly, instead of adding functionality to established CAD software. That's the approach Microvellum takes with AutoCAD, and I expect it's probably a lot better software, but like everyone in this space except Mozaik, they do the whole "contact us for a quote" thing. In other words, it won't be cheap.

Yes we've had this discussion with management before when discussing CV short comings. Pathetic offering of a program, and simply would not pass even the most basic usability tests in other fields. Microvellum afaik is only a better program "in theory." I have not heard much positivity from actual users.

As someone who uses such software for a living, i concur. Hand drawings work just fine. Not to mention, any fabricator worth their salt will have no problem interpreting it.

at least in my parents neighborhood, the open garage or the pool with a non-privacy fence, or the front/side porch are all hangout spots where other neighbors will walk by and join you for conversation

assumedly much much easier to buy a cheap vinyl cutter, but interesting idea
