Doppio is a cloud-based service that converts HTML and screenshots into structured data for modern software workflows. It uses a modern Chromium engine to render HTML files and generate pixel-perfect PDFs and PNG screenshots. The service offers direct S3 upload, webhook support, and EU-hosted infrastructure for secure and reliable document generation. With Doppio, teams can reduce ops overhead, protect sensitive documents, and ship faster by avoiding the need to build and maintain their own rendering stacks. The developer-first API accepts various input formats, including URLs, raw HTML strings, and saved template IDs, and returns files or URLs that can be used in workflows or stored in S3 buckets. Doppio supports multiple programming languages and offers a free plan with 400 documents per month. Its features and integrations make it an attractive alternative to wkhtmltopdf, self-hosted Puppeteer, and other fragile PDF libraries.

- PDF text and data extraction
- Screenshot parsing with AI
- Structured output for software use
- Automated document processing
- Support for varied document layouts
Spot AI
AI video intelligence that turns security cameras into operational insight tools.
Spot AI is a video intelligence platform that layers artificial intelligence on top of existing or new surveillance cameras, converting raw footage into searchable, actionable data. It helps organizations monitor facilities, investigate incidents, and identify operational issues without manually scrubbing through hours of video. The system combines cloud-managed dashboards with on-site hardware, offering features like smart search, real-time alerts, and analytics across people, vehicles, and activity. Beyond traditional security use cases, teams in manufacturing, retail, logistics, and education use it to improve safety, productivity, and process compliance. With integrations into communication and workflow tools, Spot AI aims to make video a proactive resource rather than a passive recording archive.
