📝 Overview
One of Yoom's AI-powered features is "Data Extraction," which allows you to automatically extract specific information from text.
🧐 Why use AI-based data extraction?
No need to use regular expressions
Extract multiple items at once
Works even if the text has no fixed pattern
🤷 AI vs. Regular Expressions: What's the Difference?
Feature | AI-Based Extraction | Regular Expressions |
Extract multiple items at once | 👏 Yes | 😑 No (one at a time) |
Works even if the text has no pattern | 👏 Yes | 😑 No |
Requires knowledge of regular expression | 👏 No | 😑 Yes |
Ensures 100% accuracy | 😑 No | 👏 Yes (if there's a pattern) |
📌 Use AI when:
The text has no fixed format and you want to extract multiple values at once.
📌 Use Regular Expressions when:
You need high accuracy for structured text (e.g., invoices, IDs).
