Short answer

How can I pull specific info from my PDFs using AI?

You upload your files and your agent uses specialized tools to identify specific entities or summarize the content. You'll get organized data instead of raw text. Here is how the process works.

The results.

Where your data lands.

The AI processes your files and delivers these four specific outcomes.

DATA

Structured entity lists

The AI pulls specific names, dates, or amounts. You get a clean list of the exact information you requested.

TEXT

Document summaries

The AI reads through long files and condenses them. You get the main points without reading every page.

FILES

Parsed PDF content

The AI reads the text inside your PDFs. You get the raw information converted into a readable format.

HUMAN

Manual verification

The AI presents the findings in your chat. You review the data to ensure it's correct before using it.
