A new approach to handling documents in AI systems moves beyond simple retrieval by extracting structured records from files. This method, demonstrated by the Sifter tool, allows for deterministic filtering and exact aggregation of data, enabling features like dashboards and natural language querying over datasets. The core idea is that the inherent structure within documents, which humans can easily perceive, can now be reliably extracted by LLMs to transform file collections into queryable databases. AI
