Using mutli-processing to become data managers, not just data commanders
Overview
The best part only a few people have realised about AI is, it doesn’t just work fast, it can work WIDE. While humans tend to handle one thing at a time, AI can juggle hundreds of tasks at once. We're calling the pattern bulk processing, nothing new, but a game-changer. It lets AI sift through tons of messy, unstructured data from multiple sources, like emails, PDFs, web pages, and pull out exactly what you need, in a fraction of the time and at scale.
Think of the last time you needed to analyse feedback for your product from multiple sources (re: scale). It is now everybody's cup of tea.

Why is this bulk processing important for us?
Humans are great thinkers, but not great multitaskers. One thing at a time? Sure. A hundred? Nope.
So we built machines. But even they struggle with messy, large-scale data.
Then came AI, and the ability to process in parallel, even complex tasks, became effortless.
It’s a whole new way to handle the flood of data from every direction; a huge need of the hour.
Now, we’ve levelled up, not just managing data, we’re also commanding it.
Some linked challenges in this UX? Earning trust, setting clear goals, and tracking the processing costs.
Let’s dive in and see how it all works & how different tools are tackling these challenges.
Examples
Elicit
brilliantly handles bulk data processing by letting users run multiple queries across research papers at once. The interface shows AI extracting information in batches with a subtle but effective loading state.

Trust is at the forefront with confidence warnings and source traceability for every answer. Visual credit estimations help set the expectations of the processing costs for users' queries.

V7-Go
takes bulk processing to document analysis, extracting and processing structured data from multiple uploads simultaneously.

Pre-made templates, action input, and field selectors help set clear tasks. While trust is enhanced with the ability for users to check results by comparing outputs with source images.

Bulk processing will soon become the default across task-based tools.
The real challenge? Making scale feel controllable and manageable. The best experiences will stand out by giving users control, clarity, and a clear sense of cost; turning complexity into confidence.
