Build Your Personal Document Assistant

How AI answers from data it was never trained on. One insurance policy, one question — see the whole pipeline from PDF to trusted answer, using 5 sample pages you can inspect. All demos run on your phone, no download.

One Flow — Tap Any Step to Explore

Start with Ingest, follow the arrows left to right — each pill explains itself

We turn text into Meaning Fingerprints (Vectors), store them, find the closest match to your question, and let the AI write the answer. You are here under each step explains it in one line — no deck needed. New here? Tap Ingest and keep going right. Only the last step (Answer) uses an LLM — everything before it is fast, deterministic machinery.

Where RAG Is Used — Generic

Same pattern everywhere

Customer Support

Manuals + tickets → cited answer. Faster resolution.

Healthcare

Records → private assistant for doctors (on-prem).

Finance / Insurance

Policies, claims → “what is covered?” with page ref.

Legal

Contracts → “find risky clause + page”.

Education

Textbooks → Q&A with sources for students.

Enterprise

Handbooks → “leave policy?” in seconds.

Beyond Basic RAG — When to Level Up

Each level trades cost for capability • all need re-processing on update

Basic RAG

Split → embed → Top-K → answer.
On update: re-chunk + re-embed only that file. Cheapest, fastest.

GraphRAG

Builds entity graph (Hospital ↔ covers ↔ City).
On update: rebuild graph. Great for “how are X and Y connected?” but heavy.

Agentic RAG

Agent loops: search → check → search again.
On update: no storage, but slower + higher token cost. For multi-hop questions.

All 3 require re-processing on change — Basic cheapest per file. See resources.html for one link per card.

Go Further — After the Session

Open resources.html — curated links, each matched to the concept it explains: TensorFlow Projector (real enwiki vectors), Embedding Atlas, Sentence-Transformers, Vector DB intro, RAG/GraphRAG/Agentic guides. QR code is on that page for the final slide.
