Using Gemini 2.5 Pro to validate information across PDFs
In many business processes, especially in finance or legal operations, validating information across multiple PDFs is a recurring nightmare. It often means switching between documents like contracts, compliance checklists, and payment receipts—each stored in different formats, layouts, or systems. Whether it's checking if figures match, confirming dates, or verifying signatories, these manual cross-checks are tedious, prone to human error, and almost impossible to do at scale. For example, in large enterprises, shared service organizations often process hundreds of invoices every month, each requiring validation across multiple PDF documents. Processing invoices isn't just about checking numbers. Each invoice needs to match with a purchase order and a goods receipt note—three separate PDF files per transaction. Doing this manually is slow, error-prone, and frustrating. Manual checks delay payments, create approval bottlenecks, and lead to frequent errors in compliance and vendor reconciliation. How can Gemini 2.5 Pro help here? How to access: Example Imagine you've uploaded three documents related to a vendor transaction: an invoice, a purchase order, and a goods receipt note. Prompt: You are an accounts-payable automation expert. Help me do the invoice processing using the following framework. Invoice processing framework: 1. Document classification and data extraction 2. Purchase order matching and validation 3. Exception identification and routing 4. Approval workflow optimisation 5. Compliance checks (GST, TDS, vendor master) 6. Payment terms validation 7. Duplicate invoice detection 8. Fraud risk assessment Validation rules: The three documents (invoice, purchase order, goods receipt note) have been uploaded in this chat. Process them and provide your processing recommendation. What makes Gemini 2.5 Pro special? If you're in finance or operations, this is one AI co-pilot worth experimenting with.

Claude Artifacts—Anthropic's new AI-powered app builder
Product managers often struggle to quickly test and validate feature concepts with stakeholders. While the original Claude Artifacts enabled creating interactive prototypes and apps without coding, they were essentially static—you could build a working calculator or form, but it couldn't adapt or respond intelligently to different user scenarios. This limited their usefulness for complex product decisions that require dynamic analysis or personalised responses. Claude's new AI-powered Artifacts feature bridges this gap by embedding Claude's intelligence directly into applications, creating truly adaptive tools that can analyse user input, provide personalised recommendations, and respond contextually to different situations. How to access: (Enable "Create AI-powered artifacts" in Settings > Feature Preview) Claude Artifacts can help you: Example: Imagine you're a product manager constantly fielding feature requests from sales, support, and executives, but lacking a systematic way to evaluate their potential impact and business value. Here's how Claude's AI-powered Artifacts can help you create a sophisticated analysis tool leveraging the following prompt: Create an AI-powered feature impact predictor that helps product managers analyse feature proposals through intelligent insights. The tool should have a clean, modern interface with these three key questions: 1. "What feature are you considering building?" — Large text area for natural language feature description — Placeholder: "e.g., Add dark mode toggle to our e-commerce mobile app to improve user experience during evening shopping..." 2. "What's your product context and current user base?" — Text area for company/product details — Placeholder: "e.g., B2C e-commerce app with 50K monthly users, primarily millennials, average session time 8 minutes..." 3. "What are your main concerns or goals for this feature?" — Text area for specific objectives or worries — Placeholder: "e.g., Will this increase user engagement? What's the development effort? How will it impact conversion rates..." After the user fills these three questions, include an "Analyse Feature Impact" button that uses Claude AI to: — Predict user adoption rates and engagement impact — Estimate technical complexity and implementation timeline — Generate business case with projected metrics — Identify potential risks and mitigation strategies — Suggest A/B testing approach and success metrics — Provide market comparison and competitive insights — Create executive summary with confidence scores Follow these steps: Here is the link to the AI app built following the above steps/prompts What makes Claude Artifacts special?

ChatGPT Record to transcribe audio meetings
Meetings are critical for collaboration, but capturing their essence is often difficult. Manually scribbling notes often misses key points, leading to miscommunication or forgotten action items. Post-meeting, summarizing discussions takes hours, and transcribing audio manually is tedious, error-prone, and time-consuming. This chaos frustrates teams, delays decisions, and risks losing valuable insights from brainstorms or client calls. ChatGPT Record solves this by automatically transcribing audio, generating structured summaries, and transforming them into actionable outputs, saving time and ensuring clarity. How to access: Currently, it's only available for the macOS desktop app and for ChatGPT Enterprise, Edu, Team, and Pro workspaces. Visit ChatGPT Record can help you • Transcribe meetings: Instantly convert audio from meetings or voice notes into text.• Summarize discussions: Create structured summaries saved as canvases in your chat history.• Transform outputs: Convert summaries into emails, project plans, or code scaffolds.• Reference past recordings: Use prior transcripts for context-aware responses.
