The AI linked thousands of work drawings into one spreadsheet

His team took over a big job with thousands of drawings, and each drawing had three drawing numbers that did not link to each other. He uploaded all the PDFs and the AI built a spreadsheet that tied the numbers together.

How it works

  1. Uploads all the drawing PDFs to the AI
  2. The AI works out how the three sets of drawing numbers relate
  3. The AI creates a spreadsheet linking them

Why it’s worth knowing

Every drawing carried three numbers that had nothing to do with each other. The AI read the PDFs and worked out how the numbers matched.
