Agent use case: scan 10+ local PDFs into one Markdown table
The point
A Claude Cowork user points the agent at more than 10 PDFs on their own machine and asks for specific data points. The agent scans the files and puts what it finds into one simple Markdown table.
Why it matters
Local files in, one checkable table out: a small pattern for document grunt work. Evidence: user-reported, from the Good Bot case list at goodbot.guide, not independently verified.
Key details
- Agent: Claude Cowork, scanning local files
- Input: more than 10 local PDFs
- Output: one simple Markdown table of the requested data points
