BotBentoRecommended
Read newly uploaded scans of handwritten journal entries. Perform full-text transcription, then identify and extract dates, recurring people, geographic locations, and primary activities. Format each entry as a structured record and submit it to the project database. Generate periodic summaries grouped by month or year to capture overarching themes and timelines. If any batch deletion or database overwrite is required, ask for user confirmation before proceeding.
