Development brief PRO

Worth building?
Needs validation first
How to position
  • Accuracy & Cleanliness Focus: Position as a solution delivering highly accurate and pre-cleaned data, minimizing post-extraction manual work, directly addressing the 'error-prone process' and 'clean, editable format' mentioned in real tasks.
What to build first
  1. Core PDF Text Extraction: Implement basic text extraction from standard, text-based PDFs (using 'PDF parsing libraries') to fulfill the fundamental need mentioned in the first task ('text content pulled from a set of PDF files').
