FAQ

Questions answered

What file types can AI Search look inside?

AI Search works with PDFs, Word documents, spreadsheets, presentations, images (via OCR), audio files (via transcription), video captions, plain text, and more. If a file contains readable or audible content, we can search it.

How does the citation system work?

When the AI returns an answer, it includes a reference to the specific file and passage where the information was found. You can click through to the exact source to verify the answer yourself.

What happens when the AI can't find an answer in my files?

The AI is transparent about uncertainty. If it can't find relevant information in your documents, it will tell you clearly and ask whether you'd like it to search the web instead — it never silently makes things up.

Can it answer questions that require information from multiple files?

Yes. Cross-file Q&A is a core capability. The AI can synthesize information scattered across multiple documents to give you a comprehensive answer, citing each source.

Is my data used to train AI models?

No. Your files are never used for model training. Search indexes are encrypted and isolated per account. We process your documents solely to serve your queries.
