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.

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.
The other scenarios
Often, the real subject is somewhere else
- Trades · construction · quote-driven servicesFrom a voice note to a signed quote, in 90 secondsThe quote goes out the same day — not next Tuesday.
- B2B services · e-commerce · agenciesEvery inbound request sorted, qualified and answeredThe shared inbox stops being a pile. It becomes a queue of cases.
- Distribution · manufacturing · logisticsZero data entry: the invoice walks into the ERP by itselfNobody re-types a total. You only look at the discrepancies.
One concrete problem is enough to start
