This seems like a lot of work depending upon the use case. e.g. the other day I had a bunch of JSON files with contact info. I needed to update them with more recent contact info on an internal Confluence page. I exported the Confluence page to a PDF, then dropped it into the same directory as the JSON files. I told Claude Code to read the PDF and use it to update the JSON files.

It tried a few ways to read the PDF before coming up with installing PyPDF2, using that to parse the PDF, then updated all the JSON files. It took about 5 minutes to do this, but it ended up 100% correct, updating 7 different fields across two dozen JSON files.

(The reason for the PDF export was to get past the Confluence page being behind Okta authentication. In retrospect, I probably should've saved the HTML and/or let Claude Code figure out how to grab the page itself.)

How would I have done that with Gemini using just the web interface?
