On: Launch HN: Dashblock (YC S19) – Turn Any Website into an API

It doesn't require Artificial General Intelligence, with enough training data (crowdsourced data and human-edited metadata like JSON-LD or RFD), we can classify automatically the attributes on the page (product name, movie title, creation date, author), structure them and recognise the type of entity.

Feel free to contact us if you want to invest (hello@dashblock.com), we are currently raising funds ;)

Fine, I prefer to loose my comment than my invested money
