We never train on your data, and any agents you build on the platform remain entirely your intellectual property.
How It Works
Getting started takes just three steps:- Build an agent — Start with Basic Search or Agentic Search templates (self-serve), or use Agent Composer’s visual builder to create custom workflows (enterprise).
- Connect your documents — Connect via connectors, or upload PDFs, specs, manuals, logs. Our parsing handles tables, figures, and complex layouts.
- Query and iterate — Ask questions, get grounded answers with citations, and refine your agent as needed.
