I built an ingestion engine because I hate mundane tasks

2•scannyai•1h ago
There is nothing quite as soul-crushing as manually copy-pasting data from a PDF invoice into a database field.

It's a waste of human intelligence.

I tried existing tools, but they broke whenever a document layout changed. I needed something robust enough to handle variable inputs without constant babysitting.

I built Scanny AI using vision models to understand document structure rather than just relying on brittle regex or raw OCR.

It identifies fields spatially and syncs structured JSON to tools like HubSpot.

It's built for people who hate boring work.

API docs here if you want to break it: scanny-ai.com
