Ask your documents a question.
Get the page it came from.
A search system that reads your PDFs, contracts, policies and correspondence, runs on hardware in your office and answers with links to the passages it used.
Keyword search finds words. This finds answers.
Staff type a question the way they'd ask a colleague: which depositions mention the inspection date, what our retention policy says about closed files, which clients changed their risk profile last quarter. The system finds the relevant passages across the document set and drafts a short answer from them.
Every answer links back to its sources. The point is to get someone to the right page faster, not to ask them to trust a summary.
Four parts, all on your hardware.
Ingest
Documents are copied from the folders you choose. Scanned paper goes through OCR so it can be searched, on the Professional tier and up.
Index
Each document is split into passages and indexed on the local machine. New files are picked up as they're added.
Answer
A language model running on the same machine reads the best-matching passages and drafts an answer with citations.
Control
Each desktop indexes only the folders that person's account can open. Shared indexes are split by group, and I test that one group can't reach another's before launch.
Ask a question, then check the source.
A sample walkthrough with invented contract text, not a live search or a real client result. Pick a question and open the source to see how an answer traces back to the passage it came from.

Interactive concept using invented sample text. This is not a live search, product capture or client result.
Built for document-heavy practices.
Discovery, depositions, pleadings and matter files, with attorney review of anything drafted. More for law firms.
Client records, prior-year filings and meeting notes, found by client and year and checked by staff before use.
Policy libraries, procedures and administrative documents that staff otherwise hunt through shared drives to find.
Before you book a call.
Is local AI as capable as ChatGPT?
It depends on the task, the model and the hardware. I test candidate models against a sample of your own documents and agree on accuracy, speed and review steps before deployment.
What file types does it handle?
PDFs, Word documents, text and email exports are the usual starting set. Scans need OCR first. The discovery call confirms what your document set looks like.
What hardware does it need?
A compact desktop-sized machine for most small offices, not a server room. I specify it in the quote and your business buys it as its own asset.
Can it get answers wrong?
Yes, which is why every answer cites its sources. Staff check the passage before relying on it, and I agree the review steps with you during setup.
