AI Logo Sheet Extractor to Airtable
Manually extracting and organizing information from visual "AI Logo Sheets" or competitive landscapes is a tedious and error-prone task. This powerful n8n workflow leverages advanced AI Vision capabilities to automate the extraction of tool names, attributes, and similar products directly from images, then seamlessly synchronizes this structured data with your Airtable database.
Key Features
- AI Vision-Powered Extraction: Automatically "reads" logo sheets and images to identify tool names, their attributes, and comparable products.
- Structured Data Output: Transforms unstructured image data into a clean, JSON-formatted list, ready for database integration.
- Automated Airtable Sync: Creates new attributes and tools in Airtable if they don't exist, and updates existing records with new information, preventing duplicates.
- Intelligent Deduplication: Utilizes MD5 hashing to ensure unique tool and attribute entries, maintaining a clean and accurate database.
- Customizable AI Agent: Easily adjust the AI agent's prompt to refine extraction based on your specific use case and data needs.
How It Works
1. **Image Upload:** You start by uploading an AI Logo Sheet image via a simple n8n form, optionally adding a prompt for additional context. 2. **AI Vision Processing:** An AI Agent (powered by OpenAI's GPT-4o and LangChain) processes the image, extracts tool names, identifies their attributes, and lists similar tools based on the visual context. 3. **Data Structuring:** The extracted information is then parsed into a structured JSON format. 4. **Attribute Management (Airtable):** The workflow iterates through all identified attributes. For each attribute, it checks if it already exists in your Airtable 'Attributes' table. If not, it creates a new record. All attributes are then mapped to their respective Airtable record IDs. 5. **Tool Management (Airtable):** For each extracted tool, a unique hash is generated based on its name. The workflow then upserts (creates or updates) the tool in your Airtable 'Tools' table, linking it to its corresponding attributes by their record IDs. 6. **Similar Tools (Airtable):** Finally, similar tools identified by the AI are also processed, upserted into your 'Tools' table, and linked back to the main tool, completing your comprehensive database entry.
