While this is a very simple example, it illustrates several broader points about the technology.

First, it allows computers to read and interact with unstructured data that would previously have stymied them.

And second, this can be a huge time saver if you or your team have to bridge those two types of data (say, extracting data from a company disclosure, a teaser or CIM, or an industry report).
