You can now automatically extract plain text from uploaded files (PDFs, Word documents, images and text files).

This allows you to feed that text directly into variables and use the text with AI Tasks.

This unlocks a wide range of automation possibilities, including:

• Extracting structured data from files
• Parsing tables and rows from documents
• Analyzing unstructured notes for summaries, decisions, or key actions

When enabled on a File Upload field:

• The system extracts up to 512KB of plain text from the uploaded file, roughly the size of a short book.
• Even large PDFs (multiple megabytes in size) can be processed, as long as their text content fits within the limit.
• The extracted text is exposed as a variable, ready to be used in downstream areas in your workflows, and in  AI Tasks for processing, summarization, or structured data extraction.
