DocPilot

In progress

Answers questions from a company's own documents, always quoting its source.

Drop in your documentation and get a question-answering service that quotes its sources, plus a measurement of how faithful it stays to them.

The problem

A document search that "works in the demo" is one whose misses nobody measured. A credible answer with no source is the worst possible deliverable: wrong and convincing. Every claim has to point back to the passage it came from.

How it is built

  1. 01

    One document library per customer, sealed off from the others.

  2. 02

    Document splitting and indexing, versioned like code.

  3. 03

    Two searches run side by side, by keyword and by meaning, then merged.

  4. 04

    A second pass that re-ranks the best passages before the answer is written.

  5. 05

    Answers with citations, automatically scored on how faithful they stay to the sources.

  6. 06

    A numbers-backed comparison of several approaches on the same set of questions.

  7. 07

    LangChain measured against a hand-written path on the same questions: 20 answers identical byte for byte, so the hand-written path stays the default.

What it proves

Document search measured at every stage, not just in the demo.

Build log

The full write-up will land here: what was tried, what failed, the numbers obtained, and what I would do differently. It goes up once the measurements exist, not before.
