Short answer

How can I pull emails and phone numbers from a block of text using AI?

Your AI uses the extract_regex_matches tool to scan text for specific patterns like email formats or phone number structures. It returns a clean list of every match it finds. You'll see the specific results organized below.

The results.

Where your data lands.

The AI processes the raw text and routes the findings based on your instructions.

CLEAN LIST

A structured list of matches

The AI uses regex to isolate every email or phone number. You get a clean, usable list instead of a wall of text.

RAW DATA

The original text source

The AI keeps track of the source text to ensure every match is grounded in the original input.

HUMAN REVIEW

Verification needed

Regex is precise, but you should still glance at the results to catch any weirdly formatted numbers the pattern might miss.

FORMATTED

Ready for export

Once the matches are pulled, you can tell your AI to format them as a CSV or a simple list for your spreadsheet.

The workflow

What your AI does when text arrives.

The AI acts as a filter, stripping away the noise to find exactly what you asked for.

  1. Pattern identification

    Your AI analyzes the text to find sequences that look like contact details.

  2. Pattern matching

  3. Data isolation

FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI automatically save these emails to my CRM?

    No. The AI only extracts the information from the text. You have to move the data into your CRM yourself.

  • 02

    Will it delete the original text after extracting the info?

    No. The tool only reads the text to find matches. It does not modify or delete your original data.

  • 03

    Can it find names as well as emails?

    It can, provided you give it a regex pattern that matches name structures. It relies on the patterns you or the AI define.

  • 04

    Does it work on images of text?

    No. This tool works on text strings. You'll need to copy the text from an image first.

  • 05

    Can it handle messy, unformatted text?

    Yes. That is exactly what it is designed for. It ignores the surrounding noise to find the specific patterns you want.
