The problem it solves

When your documents pile up in cloud storage, finding one specific detail means opening file after file and scanning through pages. Answering a quick question from a report can eat up an afternoon of searching.

Who it fits

A researcher, analyst, or business owner managing a large library of documents in Supabase.

How it works

  1. Watches your Supabase storage for new or updated files
  2. Extracts text from PDFs and text files automatically
  3. Converts the content into a searchable AI knowledge base
  4. Answers your questions conversationally, pulling from the right documents
What you get

Answers you find without digging through files

You get instant answers pulled straight from your document library, just by asking a question in plain language.

What you get

A chat-based assistant that answers questions using the content of your stored files.

What you need

A Supabase account and an OpenAI 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.
