Your serverless stack
deserves better parsing.

FormatLayer is a stateless API that transforms messy text, contracts, and log dumps into clean, structured JSON — in a single call.

// one request. one response.
raw_input
{
  "utility_mode": "COMPLIANCE_SCAN",
  "raw_input": "This Agreement shall auto-renew\nunless cancelled 30 days prior...",
  "target_parameters": ["auto_renewal", "liability_clauses"]
}
payload.processed_output
{
  "status": "success",
  "risk_score_normalized": 72,
  "critical_flags": [{
    "item": "Auto-renewal clause",
    "severity": "HIGH",
    "mitigation": "Add cancellation window"
  }]
}
COMPLIANCE_SCAN DATA_CLEANSE LOG_PARSE

Every serverless app has a parsing problem nobody talks about.

You write a beautiful async serverless function. A messy text payload comes in — a contract, a log dump, raw user data. Now you have three options: write a brittle regex parser, spin up a custom microservice, or send it to an LLM and hope for clean output. None of them are fast, cheap, or reliable.

FormatLayer solves this. Stateless. Sub-500ms. Pay per call. Built for the serverless stack you're already running.

// how it works

01

Send your payload

POST to the FormatLayer endpoint with utility_mode, raw_input, and target_parameters. Authenticate with an API key.

02

LLM does the work

Our stateless engine routes to the right mode. Parses, validates, flags risks, cleans data — all in a single pass.

03

Structured JSON back

Always returns valid JSON with the exact schema your pipeline expects. No more guessing.

// three modes

COMPLIANCE_SCAN risk detection

Analyze contracts, terms, and legal text for hidden liabilities. Auto-renewals, IP leaks, unfavorable data-sharing clauses. Returns severity scores and one-sentence mitigations.

output
{ risk_score_normalized: 72, critical_flags: [{ severity: "HIGH", item: "...", mitigation: "..." }] }
DATA_CLEANSE schema mapping

Parse messy CSV strings, broken delimiters, escaped illegal characters — map them to your target schema. Fixed delimiters, clean key-value pairs, no more manual cleanup.

output
{ processed_output: { /* schema-matched clean data */ } }
LOG_PARSE anomaly detection

Extract errors, timestamps, stack traces, and anomalous spikes from raw log dumps. Great for DevOps pipelines and observability stacks.

output
{ processed_output: { errors: [], timestamps: [], anomalies: [] } }

// technical specs

Sub-500ms latency

Optimized for serverless. Gemini 2.0 Flash with prompt caching for near-zero marginal cost on repeat calls.

Deterministic output

Always returns valid JSON matching your target schema. Missing fields map to null, never invented data.

Stateless & private

Every payload is transient. No data stored, no cross-request memory. Zero conversational fluff in output.

Always fast

Async routes. No connection pooling. No cold starts from your side. Scale to zero between requests.
