TableFlow co-founder here - I don't want to distract from the Midship launch (congrats!) but did want to add my 2 cents.

We see a ton of industries/use-cases still bogged down by manual workflows that start with data extraction. These are often large companies throwing many people at the issue ($$). The vast majority of these companies lack technical teams required to leverage VLMs directly (or at least the desire to manage their own software). There’s a ton of room for tailored solutions here, and I don't think it's a winner-take-all space.

+1 to what mitch said. We believe there is a large market for non-technical users who can now automate extraction tasks but do not know how to interact with apis. Midship is another option for them that requires 0 programming!
