How to Build Your Own Examples
- Take a task already on your calendar for this week.
- Write the brief in two sentences: the job and the audience.
- Generate, compare against the version you would have written manually.
- Save the prompt alongside the result so the second run takes seconds.
Getting More From Each Example
Most people stop at the first result. Generate a second version with one changed variable - length, tone or angle - and compare. The better version usually appears on the second run, not the first.
Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is the table detection?
Well-structured tables convert cleanly; merged cells and unusual layouts need manual fixes.
Can it handle scanned PDFs?
Only after OCR adds a text layer - images alone carry no extractable values.
Does it do the calculations?
No - it delivers the values as cells; formulas are yours to add.
Is my file uploaded?
No - extraction runs entirely in your browser.
