This agent summarizes a PDF document by processing its contents through the Vellum Document API and generating a user-friendly summary. It allows users to input a document ID and receive a concise summary of the document's text.

How it Works / How to Build It

  1. DocumentAPIURL: This node constructs the API URL using the provided document_id from the user inputs.
  2. DocumentAPI: This node calls the Vellum API to retrieve the document's contents using the constructed URL and an API key for authorization.
  3. ProcessedDocumentURL: This node extracts the URL of the processed document from the API response.
  4. ProcessedDocumentContents: This node fetches the actual contents of the processed document using the URL obtained in the previous step.
  5. PromptNode: This node generates a summary of the document's contents by prompting a machine learning model with the text retrieved.
  6. FinalOutput: This node outputs the generated summary for user display.

What You Can Use This For

  • Summarizing lengthy reports for quick insights.

  • Providing quick summaries of internal documentation for team members.
