can ai read my unstructured data

Yes. A companion can extract a file through a connected Unstructured account, and work the screens you already use for anything the API does not expose.

what can strawberry actually do in unstructured

Exactly what Unstructured exposes and no more: extract a file, which is the whole list, across the files. The full list is printed on the app's page inside Strawberry and repeated above.

That is the common case. A companion reads the files your Unstructured account holds, works each one against whatever else you point it at, and hands back the rows with a source on each.

is it safe to connect unstructured to an ai agent

You authorise the Unstructured connection in your own browser and read the permissions before you accept them. The credential is stored encrypted outside Strawberry, the connection belongs to one Strawberry profile, and disconnecting removes it. More on the gates at is it safe to let AI use my browser.

Unstructured Strawberry

Hand the Unstructured files to a companion

1 read operation and no writes: a companion can extract a file in Unstructured and hand back the files with the source on each row.

Open the file. Check it against something else. Write the change. Move to the next one. That is the Unstructured afternoon nobody can hand off, and a companion does the whole pass and gives you back the batch, with nothing changed until you say so.

What it can do is exactly what Unstructured exposes to an account you authorise and nothing beyond it: 1 operation, 1 read and no writes. In practice that means it can extract a file.

The Unstructured API stops at Unstructured. A companion does not. The same run opens the customer's website, the supplier portal, the internal tool somebody built in 2019, because it is working the browser you are already signed into rather than calling in from outside it.

Does it read the files or ask you for them?

The only operation there is reads.

Your account, not a guess at it: a companion can extract a file, and the full list below is the whole list, with nothing inferred from Unstructured's documentation.

The files are what most of this inventory is about, alongside the files. A companion can hold that operation and forty open tabs in the same pass, which is how an afternoon of Unstructured admin becomes a queue you review.

Extract File

Nothing writes back. So what moves the files?

Through the screens you already use.

Unstructured exposes no write operation to a connected account, so a companion drives Unstructured in the session you are already signed into instead, filling the same forms you would to move a file, and anything consequential stops for an approval card before it happens.

That is the ordinary case rather than the exception. Most of what a file in Unstructured touches has no API pointed at it, and a companion is useful precisely because it does not need one.

Does the file sweep have to be asked for every time?

Yes.

Saved as a routine, the Unstructured files pass runs at the hour you pick: the Monday sweep, the overnight refresh, the Friday check. Keep Awake holds the machine awake for the length of a run, so a scheduled pass finishes with the lid closed.

The research and analysis playbook catalogues the other recurring shapes of the reporting, the Unstructured files sweep among them, and finished runs are published at real runs.
