Your team already has the answer — it's just buried in a file. An assistant that reads only your documents and shows the exact page behind every answer.

Your team already has the answer. It's just buried in a file.

a day — what the average knowledge worker spends just searching for and gathering information. Whole workdays a week, per person, lost to “which folder was that in?”

Can't I just ask ChatGPT?

For the world's knowledge, sure. But a general chatbot has never seen your prices, contracts or policies — so for your business it guesses. This is the opposite: an assistant that reads only the documents you give it, and shows the exact file and page behind every answer, so you can verify it in one click. (The technical name is RAG. All it means: answer from your files, then cite the source.)

How it works

1

You ask in plain words — no special syntax

2

It searches only your files — nothing from the open internet

3

It finds the exact passage — the line that answers you

4

It answers and links the source — verify in one click

Earns its keep — and its limits

Where it earns its keep
  • Sales — “does our plan cover X?” mid-call
  • HR & ops — “how many vacation days carry over?”
  • Support & field staff — “what's the fix for error 27?”
  • Finance & legal — “what's the notice period in this contract?”
What it will never do
  • Make things up
  • Pull from the public internet
  • Leak your files
  • Replace your experts

It runs on your own setup, behind your own access rules. Send us a handful of documents and 5 questions — in 48 hours we send back a working assistant that answers, with the source.
