The problem it solves

Important information is scattered across PDFs and Word documents in cloud storage, and finding one fact means opening file after file. Everyone ends up asking the same person instead of just checking the document themselves.

Who it fits

A business with a document library that wants a searchable, question-answering assistant.

How it works

  1. Documents are pulled from your cloud storage folder.
  2. The system extracts text and tables from each PDF or Word file.
  3. The content is broken into chunks and stored in a searchable database.
  4. You ask a question in chat and AI answers using the actual document content.
What you get

Documents that answer questions on demand

You get instant answers from your PDFs and Word documents by asking questions in plain English, no digging through files required.

What you get

Direct answers to questions, sourced from your own documents.

What you need

An AWS account, a document parsing account, a Pinecone account, and an OpenAI account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
