-<span style="font-size:14pt">'''[[Table Extraction]]'''</span>
+[[GPT Integration]]
 </blockquote>
-Tables are one of the most common ways data is organized on documents.  Human beings have been writing information into tables before they started writing literature, even before paper was invented.  There are examples of tables carved onto the walls of ancient Egyptian temples!  They are excellent structures for representing a lot of information with various characteristics in common in a relatively small space (or an Egyptian temple sized space).  However, targeting the data inside them presents its own set of challenges.  A table’s structure can range from simple and straightforward to more complex (even confounding).  Different organizations may organize the same data differently, creating different tables for what, essentially, is the same data.
+[https://openai.com/ OpenAI GPT] integration in '''Grooper''' allows users to leverage modern AI technology to enhance their document data integration needs.
-In Grooper, tabular data can be extracted using the [[Row Match (Table Extract Method)|Row Match]], [[Header-Value (Table Extract Method)|Header-Value]], or [[Infer Grid (Table Extract Method)|Infer Grid]] table extraction methods.
-|Did you know we have a wiki?
-You're using it!
+OpenAI's GPT model has made waves in the world of computing. Our '''Grooper''' developers recognized the potential for this to grow '''Grooper's''' capabilities. Adding its functionality will allow for users to explore and find creative solutions for processing their documents using this advanced technology.

+Is this a computer?
+Maybe!  This is an artifact known as the "Antikythera mechanism".  Discovered in a shipwreck off the coast of the Greek island Antikythera in 1901, it is thought to be the oldest known example of an analogue computer.
+The instrument is a device called an "orrery", a mechanical model of the Solar System used to predict the motions of the planets and Earth's moon.  The shipwreck it was found it has been dated to occurred between 70 and 60 BC.  However, the Antikythera mechanism itself may be as old as 205 BC!
