The problem it solves

You or your team spend hours retyping Arabic documents by hand because most tools can't read the language cleanly. Important paperwork sits as an image or scan instead of usable text, making it hard to search, share, or edit.

Who it fits

Businesses that regularly receive Arabic-language paperwork, such as legal, logistics, or import-export teams.

How it works

Someone sends a PDF to the Telegram bot
Mistral AI's OCR reads the Arabic text page by page
The text is organized and numbered by page
A new Google Doc is created with the full extracted text
The person gets a link to the finished document

What you need

A Telegram bot, a Mistral AI account for OCR, and a Google account with Docs and Drive access.

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.
