Short answer

How can I use my AI to make branded PDFs?

Your AI pulls data from your chat or files and injects it into your pre-set templates. You get professional, formatted documents without manual copy-pasting. Here is how the process works.

The document outcomes

Where your data lands.

The AI handles the heavy lifting of formatting and data placement.

READY

Finished documents

The AI completes the generation process and provides the final file. You get a ready-to-send PDF that matches your brand.

MAPPING

Data injection

Your agent identifies which pieces of information belong in which template fields. It ensures the right numbers and names land in the right spots.

REVIEW

Human oversight

You decide which templates to use and check the final output. The AI won't finalize a document without your direction.

SETUP

Template selection

The AI looks through your available document layouts. It finds the specific structure needed for the data you provided.

The workflow

What your AI does when data arrives.

The AI acts as the bridge between your raw information and your formal document layouts.

  1. Find templates

    Your agent looks through your library to see what layouts are available for use.

    list_pdf_templates

  2. Inspect layout

    The AI checks the specific fields and requirements of a chosen template to ensure the data fits.

    get_template_details

  3. Build document

    The agent takes your structured data and writes it into the template to create the file.

    generate_pdf

  4. Track progress

    The AI monitors the generation task to let you know when the file is ready for download.
