{"slug": "show-hn-ai-cell-enrichment-workflow-api", "title": "Show HN: AI Cell Enrichment Workflow API", "summary": "AmpleData launched an AI-powered spreadsheet enrichment API that researches rows with citations, confidence scores, and conflict resolution. The tool allows users to define custom columns in plain English and returns structured, cited data at a fraction of the cost of comparable services.", "body_md": "AmpleData researches every row of your spreadsheet, with **citations**, **confidence scores**, and **conflict resolution** across sources.\n\nClick any enriched cell to see its source citation\n\nGive AmpleData a list, companies, products, papers, jobs, properties, anything with a name. Describe the columns you want filled in, in plain English: *\"the founder's most recent public statement on pricing,\"* *\"whether this paper has been retracted,\"* *\"the company's stated stance on remote work.\"* AmpleData dispatches web search and crawl, extracts structured answers with an LLM, resolves conflicts across sources, and returns a cleaned-up sheet you can trust, every cell linked back to where the answer came from.\n\nEach row gets dispatched to the web, sources get crawled, an LLM extracts the answer, conflicts are resolved, and the result lands in the cell, with a source URL and confidence score attached.\n\nNot the longest feature list. The most distinctive one.\n\nNot 'AI-generated.' Researched. Click any cell to see the source URL, the extracted snippet, and the reasoning. If a source is wrong, you'll know which one.\n\nAmpleData tells you when it's sure and when it isn't. Sort by confidence, spot-check the weak cells, and re-run a column with a refined prompt.\n\nPay only for what you enrich. No minimum, no per-seat license, no annual contract. A fraction of what comparable tools charge.\n\nGenerate an API key and drive the same enrichment engine over HTTP, no UI in the loop. Wire it into a cron job, a pipeline, or your own product.\n\n```\n# 1. Authenticate with your API key\nexport AMPLEDATA_KEY=\"sk_live_...\"\n\n# 2. Kick off an enrichment run for a source\ncurl https://api.ampledata.ai/api/v1/sources/$SOURCE_ID/enrich \\\n  -H \"Authorization: Bearer $AMPLEDATA_KEY\" \\\n  -H \"Content-Type: application/json\" \\\n  -d '{\n    \"key_columns\": [\"company\"],\n    \"columns_metadata\": [\n      { \"name\": \"industry\", \"type\": \"string\", \"job_type\": \"enrichment\" }\n    ]\n  }'\n\n# 3. Pull back cited, confidence-scored cells\ncurl https://api.ampledata.ai/api/v1/jobs/$JOB_ID/results \\\n  -H \"Authorization: Bearer $AMPLEDATA_KEY\"\n# => [{ \"key\": \"stripe.com\",\n#       \"extracted_data\": { \"industry\": \"Fintech\" },\n#       \"confidence\": { \"industry\": { \"score\": 0.9 } },\n#       \"sources\": [\"https://...\"] }]\n```\n\nAmpleData runs in parallel across rows, cites every answer, scores its own confidence, and doesn't hallucinate URLs. It's the difference between asking a friend and hiring an analyst.\n\nAmpleData isn't built around a contacts database. It's built around any list, any question, any domain. And it costs about 1/10th as much per cell.\n\nAll plans include AI-powered enrichment. Upgrade or downgrade at any time.\n\nTry AmpleData with no commitment.\n\nPerfect for individuals and small projects.\n\nFor growing teams with higher enrichment needs.\n\nHigh-volume enrichment for data-driven orgs.\n\nReal questions. Honest answers.\n\nHave a question about AmpleData? Want to see a demo or discuss enterprise options? Reach out — we'll get back to you within 24 hours.\n\nAmpleData\n\nUpload a list.
