Short answer

How can I use my AI to extract data from files?

You upload a file to the AirOps MCP, which triggers a specific workflow to parse the content into a structured format. Your AI then receives the processed results to use in your conversation. This breakdown shows how the tools handle the handoff.

Data outcomes

Where your data ends up.

The extraction process moves data from raw files to usable formats through these four outcomes.

RAW

Uploaded files

The process starts when you provide a file. The AI sends this file to AirOps to begin the extraction.

RUNNING

Active workflows

AirOps runs your specific extraction logic. Your AI monitors the progress until the data is ready.

STRUCTURED

Cleaned data

The final output is organized data that your AI can read, filter, or summarize immediately.

HUMAN

Manual review

You decide if the extracted data is accurate. The AI provides the results, but you keep final control.

The workflow

What your AI does when the file arrives.

The AI acts as the bridge between your local files and the AirOps execution engine.

  1. Upload the file

    Your AI sends the document or image you want to process to the AirOps environment.

    upload_file

  2. Trigger extraction

    The AI starts the specific AirOps workflow designed to parse your data.

    execute_workflow_sync

  3. Monitor progress

    If the extraction takes time, the AI checks the status of the job until it finishes.

    get_execution_status

  4. Handle large jobs

    For massive datasets, the AI can trigger a background process and move on to other tasks.

    execute_workflow_async

FAQ

How the extraction behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI change my AirOps workflow settings?

    No. The AI can only trigger existing workflows. It cannot modify the logic or configuration within AirOps.

  • 02

    Does the AI delete my uploaded files?

    No. The AI only uploads files to trigger the process. It does not have the capability to delete files from AirOps.

  • 03

    Can I run multiple extractions at once?

    Yes. You can trigger multiple workflows, including asynchronous ones, to handle several files in sequence or parallel.

  • 04

    What happens if the extraction fails?

    The AI will receive a status update indicating the failure. You can then decide whether to retry or fix the input file.

  • 05

    Do I need to manually format the data?

    No. The AirOps workflow handles the formatting based on how you built the workflow. The AI just receives the result.
