Extract data from PDFs automatically using Claude and Gemini

Pulls a PDF straight into two AI models at once, so you can compare which one extracts your data more accurately.

How the work actually flows

It branches. Every path runs; all paths must finish before it continues.

The problem it solves

Getting structured information out of a PDF usually means running it through a separate OCR tool before an AI can even read it, which adds steps and cost. If you're not sure which AI model gives you the best results, you're stuck testing them one at a time.

Who it fits

Teams processing PDFs who want to compare AI extraction quality before committing to one model.

How it works

  1. You pick a PDF stored in Google Drive
  2. The file is converted so it can be read directly by AI models
  3. Claude and Google Gemini each extract the information you asked for
  4. You compare the results side by side to see which works best
What you get

Two AI extractions ready for you to compare

You get the same PDF processed by two different AI models side by side, so you can see which one pulls your data more accurately.

What you get

Two side-by-side extractions of the same PDF, one from Claude and one from Gemini, ready to compare.

What you need

A Google Drive account, a Claude API key, and a Google Gemini 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.
