The problem it solves

Finding one fact buried in a stack of PDF documents means opening file after file and scanning for the right paragraph. Your team wastes time searching instead of getting the answer they need.

Who it fits

Teams that rely on a large library of PDF documents, like contracts, manuals, or research reports.

How it works

  1. A PDF document is uploaded to the system
  2. AI reads and extracts the text and structure from every page
  3. The extracted content is stored in a searchable database
  4. You ask a question in plain English through a chat
  5. AI finds the relevant passages and answers based on the document content
What you get

Answers pulled straight from your documents

You can ask a plain-English question and get an answer pulled directly from your own PDF documents.

What you get

A direct, accurate answer to your question, grounded in the content of your PDF documents.

What you need

A Mistral AI account, a Qdrant database, and a Google Gemini API key.

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.
