Description

PDF & Image Data Extractor – AI Agent for Text Extraction, Categorization & CSV Conversion

This AI Agent automates the extraction of text and tabular data from PDF documents and images. It intelligently processes files uploaded to a specific Google Drive folder, uses Google Gemini and Llama 3.1 to interpret the data, categorizes transactions, and saves the structured information as a CSV file in another Google Drive folder. This workflow eliminates the tedious, time-consuming, and error-prone process of manually transcribing data from documents like bank statements, invoices, or receipts, saving hours of manual work and ensuring data accuracy.

What this workflow does

• Monitors a specified Google Drive folder for new PDF or image files.
• Detects the file type (PDF or image) and routes it for appropriate processing.
• Downloads the file securely from your Google Drive.
• Extracts text from PDFs and uses an AI model to structure and categorize the data.
• Uses Google Vertex AI (Gemini) for OCR on images, performing text extraction and data categorization.
• Converts the extracted and structured data into a clean CSV format.
• Uploads the resulting CSV file to a designated output folder in Google Drive.

Best for

• Accountants, bookkeepers, and financial analysts needing to automate data entry from financial documents.
• Small business owners looking to digitize invoices, receipts, and other operational documents.
• Researchers who need to extract and categorize data from scanned reports or papers.
• Anyone seeking to eliminate manual data transcription from PDFs and images.

Requirements / Notes

• Google Drive credentials configured in n8n for access to input and output folders.
• API key for Google Gemini (or ensure it’s configured within n8n).
• API key for Llama 3.1 (or ensure it’s configured within n8n).
