Introducing Make AI Content Extractor - structured data from any file, right inside your workflow

Unstructured files slow everything down. Invoices, resumes, voice notes - getting usable data out of them often means bolting on external tools and hoping the format holds up.

Make AI Content Extractor does things differently.

It’s a native Make app that pulls clean, structured data from PDFs, images, and audio inside your scenario. No more noisy outputs, no glue-code workarounds - just the data you need, exactly where you need it.

What is Make AI Content Extractor?

Make AI Content Extractor is a native app that pulls structured data from unstructured files directly inside your Make scenario.

Whether you're working with PDFs, Word docs, screenshots, or voice notes, the Extractor module returns clean, consistent outputs ready to use without any manual cleanup.

You can extract fields from an invoice, parse text from a scanned document, tag objects in an image, or transcribe and translate audio - all with one module. Every output follows a defined structure, making it easy to feed into logic branches, databases, AI Tools, or downstream apps.

It’s built for the kind of automation that needs to move fast, without switching tools or wrangling messy formats.

Why it matters - fewer tools, more control

Most file-based workflows rely on patchwork. One service to extract the text, another to clean it up, and a few modules to make sense of the output.

Make AI Content Extractor replaces all that with a single, native step.

  • No need to search for workarounds

  • No converting PDFs to images just to extract text

  • No unpredictable “wall of text” responses

  • No manual field mapping or post-processing

You get clean, structured data right where needed, ready for Make AI Tools or logic branches.

What you can do with Make AI Content Extractor

Make AI Content Extractor helps you turn files into usable data - no cleanup required. Here are a few ways to put it to work:

  • Extract line items, totals, and tax fields from scanned invoices

  • Parse resumes into structured fields for HR workflows

  • Transcribe WhatsApp voice messages and reply with AI

  • Tag and describe image content for classification or sorting

  • Convert meeting recordings into searchable summaries

  • Analyze document attachments from emails or messaging apps

And because it’s part of Make, you can combine it with Make AI Tools, custom logic, or any app in your workflow - all in one place.
