Pulls every image out of a PDF, then uses AI to describe and analyze each one and saves the results for you.

How the work actually flows

A straight line. Runs once per each image in the pdf.

The problem it solves

Manually screenshotting every image in a PDF to analyze it with an AI tool, then copying the results into a document, is slow and easy to mess up. When a report has dozens of images, this becomes a whole afternoon of repetitive work.

Who it fits

Anyone who needs to review and summarize the images inside long PDF reports, catalogs, or scanned documents.

How it works

  1. Starts when you provide a PDF file
  2. Extracts every embedded image from the document
  3. Sends each image to AI for a description or analysis
  4. Saves the image links and their analysis into a text file
What you get

Image descriptions ready without opening each file

You get an AI-written description of every image inside your PDF, organized and saved so you can review the highlights quickly.

What you get

A text file listing every image from the PDF along with its AI-generated analysis.

What you need

An OpenAI API key, a file conversion service, and a Google Drive account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
