Blocks
File
Read and parse multiple files
Upload and extract contents from structured file formats including PDFs, CSV spreadsheets, and Word documents (DOCX). You can either provide a URL to a file or upload files directly. Specialized parsers extract text and metadata from each format. You can upload multiple files at once and access them individually or as a combined document.
