An LLM pipeline, built for a logistics ERP software company, that turns scanned, handwritten consignment notes into validated, structured data. I designed, built and run it on my own.
Evals pick the model: every model, prompt or provider change is scored field by field against a labelled golden set before it ships. I evaluated Claude, GPT, Gemini, Qwen, Mistral and Sarvam side by side, and the cheapest models that got every ledger-critical field right (total amount, invoice value and actual weight) went to production.
Phased model rollout: production runs Gemini 3.8 Flash and GPT-6 Luna, switched tenant by tenant from the admin panel with no redeploy. On the latest eval, GPT-6 Luna is 8× cheaper and ~45% faster than Gemini Flash, with those ledger-critical fields at 100%.
Guardrails and accept policy: GSTIN checksum and state checks, date and total reconciliation, and fuzzy station matching. A document is auto-added only when every mandatory field passes; otherwise it's flagged for human review with the exact fields named.
Gateway, cost and observability: Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini, Mistral and Sarvam sit behind one interface, and tenants can bring their own keys. Every call is metered per tenant, and dashboards track cost per document and latency.

An AI product that helps Indian consumers draft and file consumer-court complaints without a lawyer. I built and run it end to end.
Vision and tool use: Claude reads uploaded evidence (PDFs and photos) to write court-format annexure descriptions, and uses its web-search tool to find the opposite party's registered address and legal contacts.
Runtime model routing: a different model per task (Sonnet drafts, Haiku handles lookups and vision), configurable per user cohort from the admin panel without a redeploy. Each paid document pins the model plan it was drafted with, so re-renders are reproducible.
Cost and abuse controls: a per-call cost ledger in INR, hourly and daily AI caps per user, and input limits on every AI feature.
LLM observability and legal review: calls, tokens, latency, errors and INR cost tracked per feature, provider and model. Drafts go to a consumer-law advocate for sign-off before public launch.
