Integration Pattern: Batch Metadata Extraction

In this chapter, we will explore a metadata extraction use case, which serves as an excellent entry point to understand the capabilities of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI). This topic is particularly relevant across industries and thought-provoking.
