Short answer

How can I ask my AI questions about my company documents?

Your AI uses the LlamaIndex framework to search through your indexed files and find exact answers. It pulls the relevant context from your documents to answer your questions in real time. You get specific data points and summaries pulled directly from your source files.

The outcomes

What your queries produce

The AI processes your questions through your data to produce these results.

DATA

Direct answers

The AI finds the specific sentence or fact you asked for within your documents. You get the exact information without digging through folders.

CONTEXT

Document summaries

Your agent reads through entire files to give you a high-level overview. It condenses long reports into the key points you actually need.

SEARCH

Semantic retrieval

The AI understands the meaning behind your question. It finds relevant info even if you don't use the exact keywords found in the text.

HUMAN

Manual verification

You review the AI's findings to ensure the context matches your needs. You decide if the extracted information is ready for use in your reports.

The workflow

What your AI does when you ask a question.

The LlamaIndex framework handles the heavy lifting of finding and reading your data.

FAQ

How the query process works

  • 01

    Can the AI edit my original documents?

    No. The AI only reads and queries your indexed data. It cannot change, delete, or overwrite your source files.

  • 02

    Does the AI learn from my private data permanently?

    No. The AI uses your data to answer your specific queries through the index. It does not use your private documents to train its base model.

  • 03

    How does it find information if I don't use the exact words?

    It uses semantic search to understand the intent of your question, allowing it to find relevant information even when the wording differs.

  • 04

    Can I ask questions about files I haven't indexed yet?

    No. The AI can only answer questions based on the documents that have been processed through the LlamaIndex framework.

  • 05

    Will the AI automatically update when I add a new file?

    No. You must ensure your index is updated to include new documents so the AI can see them during a query.
