Trellis: Transforming Unstructured Data with AI-Powered ETL

They literally JUST launched on Hacker News earlier this week - free demo environment here.

Trellis is the AI-powered ETL that takes your phone calls, PDFs, and chats, and transforms them into structured SQL format based on any schema you define in natural language.

Why is this such a big deal? Well, 80% of enterprise data is unstructured, and if you’ve ever tried to run SQL queries on messy data, you know the struggle. Trellis makes it easier than ever for data and ops teams to automate manual data entry and gain actionable insights from what used to be a chaotic jumble of information.

I was brainstorming some ways that this could be put to the test in our FinTech world...and while the opportunities are endless, these examples seemed like the no-brainers

1. Financial Statements: Got a stack of PDFs with income statements, balance sheets, or invoices? Trellis can turn those into structured data, making it easier to assess financial health and make informed lending decisions.
2. Social Media and Marketing Data: Need to gauge an enterprise’s market presence or customer sentiment? Now you can take unstructured social media interactions, customer reviews, and marketing results, and organize them into actionable insights, helping you evaluate brand reputation and engagement. ⬅️ being the hardest thing to automate - so much of footprint analysis relies on analyst judgement.
