--- title: "Projects" url: "https://edoardogabrielli.com/en/projects" lang: "en" updated: "2026-11-02" --- # Projects > Projects by Edoardo Gabrielli: OCR and trained models, RAG systems, a CMS with AI, personal apps and physics projects. What I have built, at work and on my own. Each project has a page about the problem, what I did and what does not work yet. Screenshots of client work use test data. The code is public where there is a link. ## At work Projects I develop at the software company where I work, from archives to AI. Clients and institutions are not named. ### Automatic reading of archive registers A small model, trained on already-validated rows, reads handwritten and typed registers; on the test pages it reads 84.7% of the fields correctly, against 39% for a much larger model. ![Row-by-row review of the extracted fields next to the scanned page, example data](https://edoardogabrielli.com/media/originals/2026/11/7828f5e0519e4995830a50cbf947fae1/registri-revisione.webp) [Automatic reading of archive registers](https://edoardogabrielli.com/en/projects/archive-registers) ### A knowledge base with cited answers A RAG system that collects institutional documents and answers citing its sources. ![The page of a source to collect, with the steps of the guided setup and the latest runs.](https://edoardogabrielli.com/media/originals/2026/11/22f6762e83e64b929c3c46ea67cb5319/rag-porto-fonte.webp) [A knowledge base with cited answers](https://edoardogabrielli.com/en/projects/port-authority-knowledge-base) ### Cultural heritage catalogue Migrating software born in 2006 to FastAPI and Vue, without stopping its users. ![A card in the old 2007 interface](https://edoardogabrielli.com/media/originals/2026/11/ea8ce44f773845afa764e143eb59e1ce/catalogo-scheda-prima.webp) [Cultural heritage catalogue](https://edoardogabrielli.com/en/projects/cultural-heritage-catalogue) ### Digitisation tools A desktop app to create and validate the metadata of digitised documents, with a panel for users and licences. ![XML metadata editor with project tree and general metadata tab](https://edoardogabrielli.com/media/originals/2026/11/f6178ed2b09146058ffc581afda305be/digitalizzazione-editor-v2.webp) [Digitisation tools](https://edoardogabrielli.com/en/projects/digitisation) ## My projects Products I designed and built on my own. ### base-cms The CMS this site runs on, built by coordinating AI agents and still evolving. ![Editing directly on the page, with a side panel for the selected block.](https://edoardogabrielli.com/media/originals/2026/11/2f702cb462ea40ecb1ee70a68d427c7c/base-cms-modifica-sulla-pagina.webp) [base-cms](https://edoardogabrielli.com/en/projects/base-cms) ### PaceMind Predicts finishing time on a trail route from your own runs.
