Josef's AI extraction engine reads that file and fills in the form for them! Meeting notes, transcripts, court documents, signed contracts, a photo of a handwritten form: upload it, and Josef pulls out the relevant details and drops them into the right questions. A form that took ten minutes takes one! A natural fit for intake and document generation bots. **How this works** 1. Users upload a file at the start of the bot. 2. Josef reads it and fills in every question it can answer. 3. Users reviews the answers, fixes anything that needs fixing, and completes the interaction. Which responses can Josef fill in? Currently, Josef can prefill the following response types: - `text` - `full name` - `email` - `phone` - `address` - `number` - `currency` - `percentage` - `single choice - text` - `single choice - scoring` - `multiple choice` Not yet supported: - `date` - `duration` - `api request` - `file upload` Supported files .DOCX, PDF, PNG and JPEG, up to 1MB. Need something else — larger files, spreadsheets, emails? Please reach out to your Customer Success Manager with your use case and we're keen to help! Additional feature notes - **Live bots only**: AI extraction is only available in live bot interactions. It is not available in bot preview mode. - **Looping logic**: bots with looping logic can use AI data extraction, however looped questions will not be automatically populated. - **Saved interaction links**: if a user returns to a saved interaction and uploads a new file, Josef only fills in the questions still blank. Existing answers stay exactly as they left them. **How to enable this feature**  **![Josef AI Tab2](https://help.joseflegal.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Josef%20AI%20Tab2.png?width=670&height=476&name=Josef%20AI%20Tab2.png)** Open your bot's **Design** tab, confirm the bot is set to **Form**, and flick the **AI extraction** toggle. Repeat for each bot you want it on. Can't see the toggle, or something's not behaving?
