Short answer

How can I turn my PDFs and emails into JSON?

Your AI uses Airparser to scan documents and pull out specific values like names, dates, or totals. It converts unstructured text into clean, machine-readable JSON. You'll see the breakdown of how the agent processes these files below.

Data outcomes

Where the data lands.

The AI organizes every parsed document into one of these four outcomes.

JSON

Clean data objects

The AI converts the document into a structured JSON object. You can then feed this directly into your code or a database.

SCHEMA

Matching your format

The agent checks the document against your specific requirements. This ensures every field matches the structure you expect.

HUMAN

Manual review needed

If a document is too blurry or the layout is unrecognizable, the AI flags it for you to check manually.

INBOX

Email automation

The AI monitors incoming files and processes them as they arrive. This keeps your data pipeline moving without you touching it.

The workflow

What your AI does when a document arrives.

The agent follows a specific sequence to turn a file into usable information.

  1. Identify the structure

    The agent looks at your existing setup to understand which fields it needs to find in the new document.

    get_inbox_schema

  2. Read the file

    The AI pulls the text and data from the uploaded file or email attachment immediately.

    parse_document_sync

  3. Handle large batches

    For heavy workloads or many files at once, the agent runs the extraction in the background.

    parse_document_async

  4. Verify the content

    The agent checks the specific details of a parsed file to ensure nothing was missed.

    get_document_details

FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI change the original PDF file?

    No. The AI only reads the data from the file. It cannot edit or overwrite your original documents.

  • 02

    What happens if the AI can't find a field?

    If the data isn't there, the AI will return a null value or flag the document for your review.

  • 03

    Does the AI delete my files after reading them?

    No. The AI only extracts the data. It does not have the ability to delete files from your storage or inbox.

  • 04

    Can I use this for handwritten notes?

    Yes, as long as the text is legible enough for the extraction tools to identify the characters.

  • 05

    How does the AI know which fields to look for?

    The agent uses the schema defined in your Airparser inbox to guide the extraction process.
