The problem it solves

Your team uploads PDFs that need to end up on the web or in another system, but converting each one to HTML by hand is slow and easy to put off. Files pile up waiting for someone to find time to convert them.

Who it fits

A business that regularly publishes or archives documents from PDF into web-ready formats.

How it works

  1. When a new PDF is uploaded to a watched Google Drive folder, the automation starts
  2. It checks that the file is actually a PDF before continuing
  3. It sends the PDF to a conversion service that turns it into HTML
  4. It saves the resulting HTML file back into Google Drive
What you get

Documents ready in web format automatically

Every PDF you upload to that Drive folder comes back as a ready-to-use HTML file without you touching it.

What you get

An HTML version of every PDF you upload, saved automatically in Google Drive.

What you need

A Google Drive account and a PDF.co 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.
