Import data with the help of AI

Got important data locked up in PDFs, images or unstructured text? Datasette Cloud can help turn that into tables.

Animated demo. Starts with a PDF file of the San Francisco Planning Commision, which includes a table of data of members and their term ending dates. Switches to a Datasette Cloud with an interface for creating a table - the table is called planning_commission and has Seat Number (integer), Appointing Authority, Seat Holder and Term Ending columns - Term Ending has a hint of YYYY-MM-DD. The PDF is dropped onto the interface and the Extract button is clicked - this causes a loading spinner while the rows are extracted one by one as JSON, then the page refreshes as a table view showing the imported structured data.
