1/ Okay, so Google’s AI Extract is basically Document AI but on steroids. It OCRs your PDFs/forms, auto-identifies key−value pairs, tables, layouts and turns chaos into neat structured data that even your analytics pipeline can swallow. Native GCP integration? Big yes.

4/ Best part? It’s not just dump-file-and-forget. Workbench lets you auto-label, train, tweak. You can pipeline everything—Cloud Storage → Document AI → BigQuery → Vertex AI. All the cloud tools playing nice together.

3/ Then there's Gemini. Use it to extract structured JSON from PDFs or even chunk + reason about docs at scale. Multimodal prompts = OCR + smarts. Gemini 2.0 + Genkit show how you can treat PDFs like data sources, not just blobs.

2/ It’s built around processors: Form Parser for generic forms, Layout Parser for tables/text chunks, and Custom Extractor where you define your own schema can be foundation–model based (just a few labels) or full-on trained. Super flexible.
