📄 Smart File Analyzer & Extractor

Turn any document, image, or text file into structured data or concise summaries instantly.

This Actor serves as a universal interface for file processing. Whether you need to digitize receipts, summarize long reports, or extract specific data points from PDFs, this tool adapts to your needs dynamically.

🚀 Key Features

  • Universal File Support: Works with PDFs, Images (JPG, PNG), Text files, and more.
  • Two Powerful Modes:
    • Auto-Summary: Get a comprehensive summary, key insights, and categorization automatically.
    • Custom Extraction: Provide a simple schema, and the AI will extract exactly the data fields you need (e.g., "Invoice Number", "Total Amount", "Date").
  • Cost-Effective: You only pay for the files you process and the data generated.
  • Strict Output: Guarantees valid JSON output, making it easy to integrate into your database or workflows.

🛠️ How It Works

1. Summary Mode (Default)

If you provide only a file URL, the Actor will analyze the document and return a standardized summary object containing:

  • Title
  • Executive Summary
  • Key Insights (Bullet points)
  • Category & Language

2. Extraction Mode (Advanced)

If you provide an outputSchema, the Actor transforms into a dedicated data entry assistant. It scans the file and extracts only the specific fields you defined, returning clean JSON ready for your API or database.

📥 Input Configuration

fileUrl (Required)

The direct URL to the file you want to process.

A JSON object defining the data you want to extract. If left empty, the Actor runs in Summary Mode.

"invoice_id": { "type": "string", "description": "The unique invoice number" },
"total_amount": { "type": "number", "description": "Final total including tax" },

"line_items": {
"type": "array",
"items": { "type": "string" },
"description": "List of items purchased"
}
},
"required": ["invoice_id", "total_amount"]
}
