The problem it solves

Reading through a dense research paper, sales deck, or filing and pulling out what matters takes real time. Students, associates, and clerks often need three different views of the same document: a quick quiz to test understanding, a summary of key points, and a timeline of events. Doing all three by hand for every new document is not realistic when you're already busy.

Who it fits

A student, associate, or clerk who needs to quickly digest long documents like research papers or filings.

How it works

  1. A new document is added to a watched folder
  2. Its contents are extracted and organized into a searchable knowledge base
  3. AI generates a study guide with quiz questions
  4. AI generates a briefing doc and a timeline of key events
  5. All three documents are saved to your output folder
What you get

Documents turned into ready study material

You get a study guide, briefing, and timeline pulled straight from any document you drop in the folder.

What you get

A study guide, a briefing document, and a timeline generated from the source document.

What you need

A Mistral AI account and a self-hosted server with a vector database.

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.
