Doc -> Markdown Converter

Hey, all.

So I wanted to show you a different version of a file conversion tool.

I know that Max has created one in the past.

This is a different version where it'll take the tabs in a Google Doc and then create individual markdown files for you in one click or a couple of clicks.

Historically, you would have to go in and, download, Download Markdown.

And then it gives you the option to download the current tab that you're sitting on, or all tabs, when you're downloading them as all tabs, it gives you one large file with all of this information mushed together.

And a lot of times that's not what you want, especially if you're, uploading these files into, let's say, a GPT or CLAUDE project and you need these files to be separate markdown files.

Why markdown?

Because A.I.

well with text and markdown files specifically.

It just reads it better, doesn't have to work as hard.

So let me show you real quickly how this app works and then I'll share the link and then I'll also share the GitHub repo as well if you want to copy this into your own instance and beautify it and everything like that.

So I started in Google, Gemini in AI Studio.

So it looks something like this.

And you can see here that I've had a few prompts with it.

I said, hey, I need to create this thing, generated it, and then I pushed it over to, I synced it over to my GitHub and did a little bit more work inside of code, but really not that much more work.

So, hopping over to the app itself, how this works is I would just grab the Google Drive link, get PDF.

And the reason why we have to convert it to a PDF first is because there's a whole host of authentication things that you would have to do in order for this app to directly access your Google Drive, documents.

So what we do instead is we just download into PDF.

You'll see that it's downloading up here and if I open this, it'll show, all the text inside of that document.

So then what what you can do is just drop the PDF that was downloaded right back into the app.

This is running on Gemini.

Flash 2.0.

Shouldn't take that long, just a few seconds to process the PDF.

Okay, so I'm cutting out some of the waiting time, but that took about a minute to do.

And you'll see that all of your individual tabs inside of your document has now been optimized.

And in markdown format, you can simply copy and paste the system instructions into your GPT instructions.

for the rest of it, you can download all of it as a zip file, and then when you open it up on your desktop, you'll have individual markdown files with the proper naming from the actual tabs in the document here.

So it's nice that these are all, named properly as well, so you don't have to go and rename these on your desktop.

So now if I go and open up a new project inside of, ChatGPT, we'll create the project and we will see.

Okay.

Add, files, and if I go back over to my app, can copy the system instructions, paste them right here, and then add.

And when you, unzip the files, you get something that looks like this.

where's that one?

Here we go.

And we just want to avoid bringing in the system instructions.

Open that up, and these are all going to come as as individual markdown files.

And then that's it.

We'll go ahead and save this.

And now you have your system instructions and all your files ready to go without having to individually click Download, Save as Markdown, Download, Save as Markdown, and then rename all those files.

So just a quick way to get all of your files into your AI projects without all the hassle.
