ChatGPT data extraction automation

Science & Technology


Introduction

Today, I will demonstrate how you can extract data from images, such as invoices, and automatically input it into a spreadsheet. This process involves triggering a flow using a sample image file named invoice_sample.png. The script reads the contents of the file and passes it on to either ChatGPT or Vision API for data extraction, specifically targeting details like the invoice number and amount due. The extracted results are placed into an array of strings and then inserted into a spreadsheet. The automation script successfully carries out all necessary steps with precision.
