maap: the number LLMs can't guess

Maap provides numerical estimations from text, addressing the common problem of unknown values in various applications. It offers a range instead of a single guess, giving users a more realistic understanding of potential outcomes. Key features include: * Estimates numbers from plain text records * Provides median, quantiles, and calibrated intervals * Calculates probability of crossing user-defined thresholds * Identifies when the target is out of its training domain This tool is designed to bring clarity to situations where exact figures are elusive. By inputting a record as plain text, users receive not just a number, but also the spread around it and the likelihood of reaching specific values. This comprehensive output helps in better decision-making by acknowledging inherent uncertainties, rather than providing overconfident but potentially inaccurate point estimates. Maap is ideal for developers, data analysts, and business professionals who need to estimate costs, durations, values, or risks in diverse fields such as project management, market valuation, or financial forecasting. It allows for quick integration via a simple API call, providing valuable insights without complex data pipelines. Use cases include assessing repair costs, estimating ticket resolution times, or valuing listings based on descriptive text.
