This could pair very well with the accounting and automation apps on cloudron, especially when automation could have access to email also on cloudron.

@marcusquinn Isn't that more of what Clawdbot does?

[marcusquinn]

@robi no, this is just for structured data extraction from documents

[robi]

@marcusquinn I was more focused on the email access, hence the comment.

[marcusquinn]

@robi sure. Was just thinking; feed invoice attachments on emails into unstract, and then parse the structured data and attachment into accounting software.

@marcusquinn or have the agents figure it out and surprise you..

Assessment: High Complexity / High Risk

Packaging Unstract for Cloudron is feasible but presents significant architectural challenges, primarily due to its reliance on spawning dynamic Docker containers for tool execution ("Docker-in-Docker") and its microservices-oriented design.

But, hey, never let a problem be a problem.

I'm excited what Unstract could do in terms of solving manual business admin tasks. So investigating - it may turn out to be non-viable, but let's see.
