The problem it solves

You get travel itineraries and similar documents as PDFs, and someone has to retype the key details into a spreadsheet by hand. That manual entry is slow and easy to get wrong, especially when documents pile up.

Who it fits

Any small business that processes PDF documents like itineraries, invoices, or forms and needs the data in a spreadsheet.

How it works

  1. Someone uploads a PDF through a simple form.
  2. The system reads the document and pulls out the key details.
  3. Each file's details are logged as a new row in a spreadsheet, with a timestamp.
  4. A confirmation email is sent once the data is saved.

What you get

An updated spreadsheet row for each document and a confirmation email.

What you need

A Google Workspace account for Sheets and Gmail, 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.
