I used SharePoint Syntex Autofill to automatically extract metadata from documents using natural language prompts. I added a Smoke? Autofill column to a Document Library. The objective was to automatically label patient medical reports.

I uploaded a patient medical report to a SharePoint Document Library. I clicked the + Add column button. I added a Smoke? column. I enabled the Autofill feature for this column. I added the Does the patient smoke? prompt.
