This like the most ambitious yet realistic open hardware project ever. Props for opening this up to the community to assist.

Really cool - even cooler if some farming related hardware on a designated plot of land can be setup so it's more than an ai agent finding someone to hire via apis.

Target demographic are regular people of all types who want to afford a home and have a quality life.

All either have the problem now or had in the past and are curious if they got a good deal.

Thank you for the feedback. I'm working on all the points @trollbridge and you @Arainach have mentioned.

The upload often doesn't work with redacted information because redacting sometimes changes the pdf's structure and can make the text extraction less reliable. I'm working on making the pdf processing more resilient.

The processing could fail for a bunch of reasons. I'm working on making the upload more fault tolerant including of redacted information.

Thank you for these suggestions, I'm going to advise users to remove PII before uploading and eventually allow users to purge their data.

Hi @trollbridge, thank you for the valid points.

I'm glad to take you up on your consulting offer.

I am not dismissing the concern, I was stating the tool solves an even larger concern. I'm doing everything I can to setup it up to be secure, private, and worthy of trust and addressing the feedback points.

If you have suggestions more than "don't trust this random internet tool even if it gives you free advice, regardless of the value it offers", please let me know [thanks emoji]

Lol no revenue source and a promise to never sell or share their data.

Gotta figure this one out...

Thank you @aoppaol!

AI tools like this don't generally need their own models or fine tuned LLMs. Uploading mortgage documents to ChatGPT may get some useful results but it really won't be comprehensive, it most probably won't take into account jurisdictional laws and mortgages rate data, and would be hard(er) to trust because of hallucinations without guardrails.

Technically this is an LLM wrapper but it utilizes around 5-10 prompts to extract and structure data from the document and ~15 prompts to analyze.

Extract all the text from the PDF, turn the pdf into images, send the text for each page along with the image to an LLM with a desired output strucutre.

hacker news, reddit, and other communities. Hopefully there will be a strong incentive in the future for real estate agents or mortgage brokers to recommend the tool. Also I think the name closing.wtf will be good for distribution.

I ran out of anthropic credits, I just refilled and the service works well now
