Internal search over your files

Ask a question, get the answer from your own files.

Price lists, policies, past quotes and manuals are spread across folders and inboxes. Your team asks in plain words and gets an answer with a link to the exact document.

Today Example, not live. Today: a folder tree of dozens of old PDFs and a search for leave policy with no clear result. Answers sit in people's heads and old chats.
With this system Example, not live. With this system: a plain answer to a leave question with the source page named. Staff ask once and get the answer with its source.

Example, not live: every name and number is invented.

Is it for you

Is this for you?

Not a fit if the information lives only in people's heads. It can answer only from documents that exist.

  • Your team asks the same questions again and again because answers are buried in files.
  • New staff take weeks to learn where everything is kept.
  • Important details live in old emails, PDFs and spreadsheets nobody can find quickly.
