Ask 12,000 pages a question — and get the source

The company’s knowledge is real, but it is locked inside PDFs, procedures, contracts and old meeting notes. Finding it depends on who happens to be in the office that day. When that person leaves, it leaves with them.

What stays human
On sensitive matters — legal, safety, compliance — the answer stays a decision aid. The assistant shows where to read; the expert decides.

The same process, run twice

On the left, what it costs today. On the right, the pipeline played step by step, with the data that actually moves from one step to the next.

Pipeline · assistant-sur-vos-documents
  1. Your documents come in

    once, at setup

    PDF, Word, scans, intranet, archived email. Badly scanned documents included.

    Document base indexed

    2,184 documents  ·  12,407 pages
    Contracts, quality procedures, spec sheets, minutes
    Versions and validity dates preserved
    Access rights inherited from your directory
  2. They become searchable

    ~40 min for 12,000 pages

    Chunking, vectors (pgvector), keyword index. Search understands meaning, not just words.

    Indexing

    chunks       : 38,942
    embeddings   : pgvector · 1024 dim
    lexical_index: BM25 (hybrid search)
    metadata     : department, version, date, confidentiality
  3. Someone asks a question

    instant

    In plain language, the way you would ask an experienced colleague.

  4. The answer is built

    2.8 s

    Hybrid retrieval, then an answer written only from the passages found.

    Answer

    “The period is 30 calendar days (clause 8.2 of the
    framework contract). Amendment no. 2 of 04/2025 extends it
    to 45 days for orders above €50k only.”

  5. Everything is traceable

    Sources cited, questions logged, permissions honoured. An unsourced answer is not returned.

    Guardrails active

    Every statement points to a specific passage
    No source found → “I don’t know”, never an invention
    Documents outside the user’s rights: invisible
    Question log available for review

On sensitive matters — legal, safety, compliance — the answer stays a decision aid. The assistant shows where to read; the expert decides.

How we build it

Nothing magic — assembled building blocks

Every block is replaceable and documented. You own the code, the data and the access — that is a condition, not an option.

See the offering Assistants & RAG
  • PDF / Office / scan ingestion (OCR)
  • Embeddings + pgvector
  • Hybrid semantic and keyword retrieval
  • Cited answers, refusal when unsourced
  • Access rights inherited from your directory

Proof

An architecture we already operate: embeddings, pgvector, hybrid semantic and keyword retrieval, sourced answers.

One concrete problem is enough to start

Shall we test these assumptions on your case?

Twenty minutes is enough to know whether this scenario holds at your company, what it assumes about your data, and where to start.
