The problem it solves

Contracts, invoices, and reports land in your inbox as PDFs, and you don't have time to read every page before you know if it matters. Important details get missed or you have to hunt someone down to summarize it for you.

Who it fits

Business teams who regularly receive contracts, invoices, or reports as PDF attachments.

How it works

  1. A PDF arrives by email, Telegram, or WhatsApp
  2. The system extracts the text from the document
  3. AI reads it and pulls out the key points, details, and document type
  4. A structured summary with an executive overview is generated
  5. The summary is sent back to whoever sent the file
What you get

Key contract details pulled out instantly

You get a clear summary of every contract, invoice, or report sent to you, pulled straight from the PDF the moment it arrives.

What you get

A structured summary of each PDF, including key points and document type.

What you need

A Gmail or Outlook account, a Telegram bot, and an OpenAI 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.
