Ask HN: Is anyone using LLM based document processing in production?
asdev Thursday, December 18, 2025I'm wondering if anyone is actually using LLMs to process documents reliably in production. One hallucination could lead to a host of issues. For example, if someone is using LLMs to process documents and enter data into an ERP, if even one number is off it could cause accounting issues, inventory issues etc. Human in the loop doesn't help because the human would just have to read the document themselves to ensure accuracy, defeating the point of the automation.
