AI-Powered PDF Data Extraction: Claude 3.5 Sonnet vs. Gemini 2.0 Flash

Manually extracting specific information from PDFs is a time-consuming and often error-prone task, frequently requiring separate OCR tools before processing with an LLM. This n8n workflow streamlines the entire process, allowing you to directly extract and compare data using two of the most advanced large language models available: Claude 3.5 Sonnet and Gemini 2.0 Flash.

Key Features

  • Eliminate OCR: Directly process PDF content with powerful LLMs, bypassing the need for traditional OCR solutions.
  • Dual LLM Extraction: Simultaneously extract data using both Claude 3.5 Sonnet and Gemini 2.0 Flash for comprehensive results.
  • Performance Comparison: Evaluate and compare the results, latency, and cost-effectiveness of different LLMs for your specific use case.
  • Customizable Prompts: Define exactly what information you need to extract and how it should be formatted using a flexible prompt.

How It Works

This workflow begins by allowing you to manually trigger it. You then define your extraction prompt, such as 'Extract the VAT numbers for each country'. Next, it securely downloads a specified PDF file from your Google Drive and converts its content into a base64 string. This base64-encoded PDF, along with your custom prompt, is then sent in parallel to both the Claude 3.5 Sonnet and Gemini 2.0 Flash APIs. Both LLMs process the document and return the extracted information, enabling you to directly compare their outputs and efficiency.
