What is DocuAsk?

DocuAsk is an advanced AI-powered document assistant platform designed specifically for researchers and knowledge workers who need to extract more value from their knowledge base. The platform aims to help users discover more and passively consume less, transforming how they interact with their documents and research materials.

Key Benefits and Features

DocuAsk offers several key benefits that set it apart from other document analysis tools:

  1. Agentic RAG Approach: DocuAsk uses an advanced agentic Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) approach, going beyond simple document retrieval. The platform recognizes that research and knowledge retrieval in real-world settings is rarely completed in a single turn, which is how most other RAG tools operate.

  2. Multi-turn Research: DocuAsk's AI assistant, Sage, can conduct multiple turns of research before providing an answer, mimicking the natural research process and delivering more comprehensive results.

  3. Suite of Specialized Tools: The platform offers a comprehensive toolkit of specialized AI-powered tools designed for specific document processing tasks.

  4. Multilingual Capabilities: DocuAsk supports approximately 30 languages, similar to other leading LLMs on the market, allowing you to work with documents in multiple languages.

  5. Advanced Document Processing: The platform employs a specialized RAG pipeline optimized for the best retrieval for question answering and other research processes.

Technical Specifications

Supported File Formats

DocuAsk supports a variety of file formats, including:

  • PDF

  • PowerPoint (PPTX)

  • Word (DOCX)

  • Excel

File Size Limits

  • Quantum Quill Plan: 100MB per file

  • Archive Alchemist Plan: 50MB per file

Language Support

DocuAsk natively supports approximately 30 languages, providing robust multilingual capabilities for global research needs.

Privacy and Security

DocuAsk takes data security seriously and implements several measures to protect your information:

  1. Cloud Infrastructure: DocuAsk hosts its models on Amazon Bedrock, providing a secure and reliable foundation.

  2. Data Segmentation: The platform employs industry-standard or better data segmentation techniques to keep your data as safe as possible.

  3. Secure Processing: All document processing and analysis is conducted with privacy and security as top priorities.

Document Processing Approach

DocuAsk uses a specialized RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) pipeline that processes documents optimized for the best retrieval for question answering and other research processes. This approach allows for:

  1. Contextual Understanding: The system understands the context of your questions and documents.

  2. Intelligent Retrieval: DocuAsk retrieves the most relevant information from your documents.

  3. Comprehensive Analysis: The platform analyzes document content to provide accurate and insightful answers.

  4. Multi-turn Research: Unlike traditional RAG systems that operate in a single turn, DocuAsk's agentic approach allows for multiple research steps before providing an answer.

Vision and Purpose

DocuAsk's vision is to be the next step after traditional RAG, moving beyond simple document retrieval to enable multi-turn research through various tools using agentic capabilities. The platform aims to solve the problem of time-consuming research for users with massive repositories they're trying to extract value from.

By providing a suite of AI-powered tools and capabilities, DocuAsk helps researchers and knowledge workers get more out of their knowledge base, saving time and uncovering insights that might otherwise remain hidden.
