Your supplier sent a 300-page PDF. Now it is a catalog.
AI Import reads PDFs, spreadsheets, images, and plain text, and gives you back structured products to review. Approve what you want, and enrich it in the same run.
Import · vendor-catalog-q3.pdf
41 products extracted · awaiting review
Every new supplier arrives as a retyping job.
One sends a spreadsheet with merged cells. One sends a PDF that was designed to be printed. One sends photographs of a printed price list, which is somehow the most common of the three.
None of it matches your schema, and all of it has to be in the catalog before anything can be sold. So it gets typed, by someone, over a week you did not budget for.
AI Import reads the file the way a person would and hands you rows to approve instead of a document to transcribe.
What it reads, and how well
Stated honestly, because knowing which files will be awkward is more useful than a logo grid.
- CSV · XLSX · XLS
- First row as headers, one product per row. Column order does not matter and column names do not have to match yours.
- Best with structured layouts and tables — supplier catalogs, price lists, spec sheets. Scanned pages work, at lower accuracy.
- JPG · PNG · WebP
- Product labels, packaging shots, and photographed datasheets. Clear, well-lit images extract best.
- TXT
- Both structured key-value text and unstructured prose. Useful for email-pasted product lists.
- Limits
- Up to 5 files per import, 20 MB each, 100 MB in total.
How an import runs
- STEP 1
Upload the files
Drag in whatever the supplier sent. Mixed formats in one import are fine — a PDF catalog and a price spreadsheet can go in together.
- STEP 2
Choose the mode
Review and import, where nothing is written until you approve it. Or import and enrich, where extraction flows straight into an enrichment job.
- STEP 3
Guide the extraction
Add a prompt if the file needs one — "extract product name, SKU, price, and available colours" — and pick a model tier.
- STEP 4
Review and commit
Extraction runs in the background. You get a row-by-row review screen and choose exactly which products enter the catalog.

Can it read a 300-page catalog?
Will it create duplicates?
Can it enrich in the same run?
