The AI Data Tool brings the power of Large Language Models (LLMs) directly into your Enfocus Switch flows. By using natural-language prompts, you can instruct the app to intelligently extract, restructure, or transform data from incoming jobs without writing complex scripts or regex patterns.

Whether you need to parse messy CSVs, convert legacy XML, or extract metadata from PDF invoices, this tool provides a flexible, "human-in-the-loop" logic to your automation flows.

Key Capabilities

The AI Data Tool dynamically handles four primary data operations based on your specific instructions:

Intelligent Extraction: Pull specific values from an input file and attach them as a Switch dataset. Downstream elements can immediately reference these values using standard variable expressions.
Content Reformatting: Rewrite file content to match a new style or layout. Easily rename CSV columns, pretty-print JSON, or restructure XML hierarchies while maintaining data integrity.
Format Conversion: Seamlessly translate between data formats, such as converting CSV to JSON or XML to CSV, to satisfy the requirements of different downstream systems.
Smart Splitting: Break complex inputs into multiple output files (e.g., splitting a JSON array into individual records). Each output is routed as a child job, while the original parent file is disposed of.

Flexible Model Integration

To balance performance and privacy, the app supports both cloud-based and local processing:

Local LLMs: Run models entirely on your own hardware for maximum privacy and zero per-job costs. Models are downloaded and cached automatically. Due to Switch memory constraints, we recommend optimized models such as Qwen2.5-1.5B-Instruct or NuExtract-1.5-smol.
Anthropic Claude API: Leverage the full power of Claude models via API for complex reasoning and advanced document analysis.

Supported Inputs

The tool is designed to handle a wide variety of production data:

Text-Based: JSON, XML, CSV, TXT, HTML, and email messages (any UTF-8 readable file).
Visual Documents: PDFs and images (JPEG, PNG, GIF, WebP) are supported when using the Anthropic provider, enabling powerful OCR and visual data extraction.

Why Choose AI Data Tool?

By replacing rigid, hard-coded parsing logic with an AI-driven approach, you reduce the time spent on flow maintenance and increase your ability to handle non-standardized incoming customer data. If you can describe the transformation in plain English, the AI Data Tool can execute it.
