Show HN: Parsie – A Google Sheets Add-On to Extract Data from Any Documents

I just launched a Google Sheets Add-on called Parsie, which helps you extract structured data and tables (like names, emails, invoice totals, etc.) from unstructured documents directly in your Google Sheets — including PDFs, screenshots, and more.

Unlike basic OCR tools that just dump messy text, Parsie understands documents like a human would. It uses a template-first approach:

1) You define what data you need

2) Parsie extracts only that

3) You get clean, consistent output.

Under the hood: – Powered by GPT models + Microsoft Azure OCR (top-ranked since 2018) – Understands context and relationships between data points – Works in 100+ languages – Handles scanned PDFs, images, DOCX, handwriting, and complex layouts

Use cases: – Invoices, receipts, and bank statements – Insurance and legal docs – Form submissions – Any workflow that turns messy documents into structured data

Advanced features: – AI-assisted custom schema – Multi-row extraction – Batch document processing – Metadata (file name, Drive URL, etc.)
