Extract data from Thai-language PDFs into Google Sheets

Runs Thai-language PDFs through OCR and AI to pull out structured data and log it in a spreadsheet.

How the work actually flows

A straight line. Runs once per each thai pdf file in the folder.

Pattern: Multiple Instances without Synchronization (12)

The problem it solves

Processing Thai-language paperwork by hand is slow, and standard OCR tools often struggle with Thai text. Typing extracted details into a spreadsheet one document at a time adds even more manual work to your back office.

Who it fits

Back-office teams and organizations that process Thai-language invoices, letters, or official documents.

How it works

  1. The system reads Thai PDF files from a folder you specify
  2. It splits each PDF into individual pages
  3. It runs OCR built for Thai text on every page and combines the results
  4. AI extracts the structured fields from the combined text
  5. It appends one row per document to a Google Sheet and files the original away

Assumes freed hours are redirected to other work and that document volume and per-document time stay steady.

What you get

A Google Sheet with one structured row per processed Thai document.

What you need

A self-hosted automation server with Thai OCR software installed, plus an OpenRouter API key and a Google Sheets 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.
