# Improved Extract, Categorize, and Standardize with AI steps >

Hundreds of Parabola customers use AI to make sense of unstructured data and build powerful, streamlined Flows. 

AI steps in Parabola are now not only faster to set up and run, but also deliver more accurate results. The recent upgrade includes three major highlights: 

  1. A new testing experience: A fast feedback loop is key to successfully configuring AI steps. You’ll now see the ability to test your settings on a certain number of rows, directly inside of any AI step (just click the ⚙️ icon). 
  2. Speed and scale improvements: AI steps now run 2x faster allowing them to support larger amounts of data. 
  3. Enhanced prompting for Extract and Categorize: Similar to our PDF parser, our Extract and Categorize steps now allow you to provide example values and column-specific instructions to improve the accuracy of your results. 

From your messiest documents to your tidiest ERP reports, leverage these improvements to extract, categorize, and standardize data with the power of AI.
