The problem it solves

You've got scanned contracts, invoices, or forms sitting as images or PDFs, and retyping the text by hand is slow and error-prone. You just want the words on the page turned into usable text.

Who it fits

Businesses that regularly deal with scanned paperwork, like contracts, invoices, or forms.

How it works

  1. You upload a PDF or image file through a simple form.
  2. The file is sent off for text recognition.
  3. The automation retrieves the processed file.
  4. It pulls out the full extracted text and hands it back to you.
What you get

Pages of text you never retype

Upload a scanned contract or form and get the full text back, ready to search, copy, or paste elsewhere.

What you get

The full text content of your uploaded document, ready to copy or use elsewhere.

What you need

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.
