⭐ Priority: MEDIUM

Session Goal

The primary goal of this session was to enhance and stabilize the asynchronous data extraction and file parsing processes using Python and OpenAI’s API.

Key Activities

  1. Fixing Async AI Call for Document Parsing: Implemented an asynchronous AI call to extract data from text snippets and save the results to a CSV file.
  2. Improved File Parsing in Pandas: Addressed issues with whitespace and unexpected characters in file listings using Pandas and Regex.
  3. Integrating get_recent_files() into the File Processing Pipeline: Added a reusable function for file retrieval and parsing into the existing pipeline.
  4. Error Handling in Asynchronous Data Extraction: Corrected an error related to an undefined variable in a Python script, ensuring proper execution of asynchronous functions.
  5. Optimizing Asynchronous Data Extraction Pipeline: Structured and stabilized the data extraction process using OpenAI’s API.

Achievements

  • Successfully integrated asynchronous calls and improved file parsing mechanisms.
  • Enhanced error handling and function integration within the data processing pipeline.

Pending Tasks

  • Further optimization of the data extraction workflow for increased efficiency.
  • Continuous monitoring and testing of the implemented solutions to ensure stability.
