What AI document search is

AI document search combines semantic search, which understands the meaning of your question and not just the exact words, with classic keyword search. This hybrid search retrieves what is relevant even when you use synonyms or phrase things differently from the document. In AskNorela you do not get a cold list of links: you get an answer written from your documents, with citations that include the page number and a link to the source, so you can verify every statement. And it never makes things up: if the answer is not in your documents, it tells you.

  • Hybrid search: semantic by meaning plus keyword
  • Answers with citations, page numbers and a link to the source
  • A confidence score on every result
  • Results respect your permissions: you never see more than you should

The problem with old-style search

When knowledge lives in hundreds of PDFs and search only finds exact matches, answers get lost.

The exact word is missing

Classic search fails if you phrase the question differently from the document. One synonym and it finds nothing.

Hours of reading for one line

The answer to a policy question or a clause is buried on page 47 of a file among thousands.

Answers with no source

A generic chatbot answers from memory and can make things up. With no citation or page, you can neither trust nor verify it.

Information leaks

Poorly controlled search shows documents above the asker's level. Permissions are either respected or they are not.

How it works in AskNorela

Three steps, with nothing technical to configure: you ask, you get the answer with its sources, and you verify.

Ask in plain language

Type your question the way you would ask a colleague. No exact keywords or special syntax required.

The AI searches and answers

Hybrid search retrieves the relevant passages from your documents, and the AI writes an answer using only that content.

Verify with the citations

Every answer brings its sources with page number and link. Open the document and confirm in one click.

Everything you can do

A complete enterprise search over your own documents, without writing a single line of code.

Hybrid search

Combines semantic search by meaning with keyword search, for the best retrieval even when you change the wording.

Citations with page

Every answer cites its sources with the page number (p. N) and a direct link to the original document.

Confidence score

Each result shows how relevant it is, so you know at a glance which one to rely on first.

No hallucinations

The AI answers only with content retrieved from your documents. If the answer is not there, it says so clearly.

Per-session history

Each Search conversation keeps its own history, separate from Analysis mode, so you can pick up where you left off.

Permission-based filtering

Results respect organization, department and confidentiality level. It never returns documents above your level.

Why your team will use it

Answers in seconds

What used to mean searching and reading for hours is now asking and getting the answer with its source.

Confidence to verify

Every statement brings its citation and its page. You do not have to take it on faith: you open and confirm.

Finds it even if you change words

Semantic search understands meaning, so a synonym does not leave you with no result.

Zero made-up answers

If the fact is not in your documents, the AI says so instead of improvising.

Permission-based access

Each person only finds what they are already allowed to see. No leaks across teams or levels.

Always available
