1 TopicIterating over a list of files and applying similar actions to each, particularly extraction
In my company tenant, we have Microsoft Copilot for Microsoft 365 (E5) mostly deployed. I have had success in extracting from individual PDF file form-letters with the copilot.microsoft.com interface. Something like this: The abbreviations ABC,DEF,NA respectively stand for "All Business Codes","Define Extras Form","Not/Applicable". Please take note that the "filing type" is a special classification that can only be "All Business Codes","Define Extras Form",or"Not/Applicable". Usually, it is found immediately after the phrase "Declaration of filing of". Please remember this when you extract information from PDF files. In a single table row, please list the "Declaration of filing of" date, doc name, applicant name, form number, filing type, header date at the document top, and code number And I use the attach feature to specifiy a specific, single PDF file in OneDrive, and this works well and I get the result I expect. However, I would like to have the copilot perform that same exact activity across a list of files, but it seems to get confused if I attempt to attach multiple files, I even get "I’m sorry, but I am an AI language model and do not have the capability to read or extract information from PDF files" which is kind of true, I guess, but the act of attaching the files explicitly to the prompt should have redirected it to the index, just like in the single attachment case, I would think. I have tried a couple of times to slightly modify the prompt to "For each of the attached files, read the file and generate a table row listing the..." or "...In a single table row, please list the [columns part] ... But please combine all those rows into one table." etc. But maybe my whole approach is wrong. I am sure multiple attachments are good for context focus for a series of questions, or perhaps for combining together some general freeform texts, but I specifically want to iterate over a list of files, or folder full or something, and have repetitive actions taken at each iteration. How can I do that?Solved7.1KViews0likes2Comments
