THE PROBLEM [1/3]

Building document AI in-house is hard.

Five tools to glue

OCR, chunking, retrieval, reranking, and grounding — assembled by hand.

Citations are tricky

Faithful, page-level citations are the part most stacks skip.

Scaling is a project

Latency and freshness become their own engineering effort.

HOW IT WORKS [2/3]

Two calls to a cited answer.
