Generate polished reports/docs automatically from messy inputs

Hi HN, We’ve been working on a project to automate one of the most painful but universal tasks: turning scattered data and notes into polished, professional documents. The idea is simple: You upload the final document you normally produce (e.g., a monthly report, project update, or client deliverable). You also upload the raw inputs you usually work from (Excel sheets, PDFs, Word notes, etc.). The system learns the mapping, so next time you can just drop in the new raw inputs and instantly get the finished document. Example workflow I’ve been testing: Raw inputs: a spreadsheet of KPIs, a staffing note in Word, and a PDF of receivables. Output: a clean monthly business performance report in Word. The goal is to make this general-purpose (works for consultants, engineers, businesses — anyone who spends hours creating repetitive docs/reports). Right now this works best with small–medium files (big inputs may time out). I’m still improving performance, but wanted to share early to get feedback.” I’d love feedback on: What kinds of documents you’d actually want automated. Whether the “teach it once, reuse forever” approach makes sense to you. Any must-have features you’d expect before using something like this.
