This has been tried many times and it never seems to gain traction to become a relevant concept. Off the top of my head, I remember Kimono Labs that looked quite promising. Then it was acquired by Palantir and shut down. I also have seen many solutions that are similar (basically most scraping companies, like Diffbot which also claims to use machine learning for their extraction techniques)

What's the plan here to really become differentiated? Why is now the right time for this concept and not before when others tried it? Also, how do you plan to address the concerns of companies that don't want their data to be accessed programmatically? That seems like a big challenge to overcome in order to become commercially succesful.
