Yeah, we had to do a lot of prompt engineering and even then, we still had to clean up the files quite a bit programmatically. Perhaps GPT-5 and beyond would make this entire process 10X easier :)

Thanks for the feedback! We can't figure out how to hack together something like that just yet (and if it is even something that should / can be solved by a tech product) but if we do, we'll definitely share that as an update
