#scraping#documents

Takes a document already sitting on your computer — a PDF, a Word file, a spreadsheet — and turns it into plain readable text, or just answers a question about what's inside.

WHEN TO USE

SCOPE

USE FOR

  • Turn a PDF into plain text you can read or search.
  • Get an AI summary of a long report instead of reading it all.
  • Ask a direct question about a spreadsheet or document's content.
  • Convert a Word document or a web page file into plain text.

NOT FOR

  • Working from a URL instead of a file on disk — scrape handles URLs, not parse.
  • Parsing a file bigger than 50 MB — that's over parse's upload limit.
