Using AI to convert unstructured information to structured information

We have a use case to extract the information from various types of documents like Excel, PDF, and Word and convert it into structured information. The data exists in different formats. 

We started building this use case with AI Builder, and we hit the roadblock and are now exploring ways using the Co-pilot studio. 
It would be great if someone could point us in the right direction.
What should be the right technology stack that we should consider for this use case? 
Thank you for the pointer.

  • You could apply 'classical' NLP techniques like Entity recognition. In Power Automate you have AI Builder that comes with out of the box model. You also have an option to train your own custom model.  If you could show some examples, I would be happy to guide you. I have experience with similar situations, in extracting structured data from free format unstructured text in invoice descriptions.

      Thank you for the pointer, James. The community does not allow to exchange email addresses. I would be happy to share some sample documents via email but just wondering how can I share it with you.
