The system scans your OneDrive folders for new PDFs and uses AI to log a summary, key findings, and key details for each one.

How the work actually flows

A straight line. Runs once per new pdf file.

The problem it solves

New PDFs land in deeply nested OneDrive folders and nobody has time to open and read each one. Important details like dates, locations, and key findings get missed or take too long to dig up.

Who it fits

Teams that receive lots of PDF reports, contracts, or documents stored across OneDrive folders.

How it works

  1. On a daily schedule, the system searches every folder in your OneDrive, including nested subfolders
  2. It checks each PDF against previously processed files to only handle new ones
  3. The text is extracted from each new PDF
  4. Mistral AI reads the document and writes an executive summary, key findings, and key details like date and location
  5. The results are logged in a table alongside the file name and location
What you get

PDF summaries waiting in one table

You get a logged summary, key findings, and important details for every new PDF that lands anywhere in your OneDrive.

What you get

A logged table of executive summaries, key findings, and extracted details for every new PDF in your OneDrive.

What you need

A Microsoft OneDrive account and a Mistral AI API key.

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.
