# Extract

Use the Extract template to isolate a specific entity from a larger body of text.

Example things you can do with this template:

* Extract addresses from messy text data
* Identify company names mentioned in longer reports
* Isolate first and last name from a body of text

Tips for using this template:

* Describe the component you're looking to extract in as few words as needed.
* Describe the component only as a descriptive noun, not a command.
