How AI is used
Paperwise is a self-hosted system designed to turn raw files—such as PDFs, scans, and images—into structured data. By combining OCR with AI-driven extraction, it helps users organize documents through auto-tagging and metadata extraction.
The software is deployed via Docker Compose on local infrastructure, allowing users to maintain control of their data.
Beyond data extraction, the platform supports a grounded Q&A system. This allows users to ask natural language questions across multiple documents and receive answers that include source citations traceable to the original files.
Buyers should confirm they have the technical capacity to manage a Docker-based installation and provide the necessary AI model API keys or local model resources to support the extraction and Q&A functions.
