How to automate document processing with your AI

Connect your AI to Azure Blob Storage to handle file ingestion and data extraction. Once connected, your agent manages the loop from reading raw files to saving structured outputs.

Short answer

How can I use my AI to process documents in Azure?

Your AI uses the Azure Blob Container MCP to pull raw files from your storage, parse the content, and write the structured data back to a new blob. You get a direct path from messy files to organized data.

Where your data lands.

The outcomes of automation.

The AI moves data through these stages based on your instructions.

RAW

Unstructured files

The AI identifies and pulls the original documents from your container. These stay exactly as they were uploaded.

PARSED

Structured data

Your agent extracts specific fields or summaries from the files. You get clean, usable information instead of raw text.

SAVED

New storage blobs

The AI writes the processed results back to Azure. This keeps your organized data right next to your source files.

REVIEW

Human verification

You decide if the extracted data is correct. The AI won't delete or overwrite anything without your direct command.

The workflow

What your AI does when the files arrive.

The AI acts as the bridge between your raw storage and your structured data.

  1. Scan the container

    The AI looks through your storage to find the specific files or folders you want to process.

    list_blobs

  2. Read the content

    Your agent pulls the actual data from the identified files so it can read and understand the text.

    get_blob

  3. Extract information

    The AI analyzes the file content to find the specific details you asked for, like dates, totals, or names.

    get_blob

  4. Write the results

    The AI saves the newly structured information back into a new file in your Azure container.

    put_blob

  • List all the blobs in my 'invoices' container so I can see what needs processing.

  • Read the file 'report_2023.pdf' from my storage and summarize the key findings.

  • Find all CSV files in the 'data-drop' container and extract the total sales from each.

  • Take the summary you just created and save it as a new JSON file in my 'processed' container.

FAQ

How this task behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI delete files from my Azure container?

    No. The current tools only allow the AI to list, read, and write blobs. It cannot delete anything.

  • 02

    Will the AI overwrite my existing files?

    The AI can only overwrite a file if you specifically tell it to save a new blob with the exact same name as an existing one.

  • 03

    Does the AI need to see my Azure password?

    No. Your credentials are encrypted and handled securely by Vinkius; your AI client only uses the connection to perform the tasks.

  • 04

    Can the AI process images or just text files?

    The AI can process any file type that your AI client is capable of reading, such as PDFs, text files, or images, once the blob is retrieved.

  • 05

    Can the AI create new containers for me?

    No. The AI can only interact with blobs within containers that already exist.
