Frequently Asked Questions

What is FileSearchGPT?

FileSearchGPT is a document knowledge hub where teams can upload files, ask natural language questions, and get precise answers from their documents. It combines AI-powered search, summarization, OCR (coming soon), and smart permission controls to make finding information effortless.

Where are my files stored?

We store your files in encrypted cloud storage to ensure their security. Our strict security protocols guarantee the utmost safety for your information and protect it from potential threats. You have full ownership and control of your data, and you can delete any files completely at any time.

Can I search across multiple documents?

Yes, of course! Upload a folder of files then chat with them at once. Get summarized answers from multiple files, and easily navigate through all files on the sidebar.

How does the AI search work?

Our semantic search uses AI embeddings to understand the meaning behind your questions. Instead of just matching keywords, FileSearchGPT retrieves contextually accurate answers directly from your documents — even if the wording is different from your query.

Can I upload scanned documents or images?

Yes! FileSearchGPT is adding OCR (Optical Character Recognition) functionality soon. This will allow you to extract text from scanned PDFs, images, invoices, or even handwritten notes, making them fully searchable.

How are documents and user access managed?

You can organize documents into folders and assign role-based permissions at both the folder and document levels. Invite your team members, manage user roles, and control exactly who can view, upload, or ask questions about specific documents.

Can FileSearchGPT summarize long documents?

Absolutely! FileSearchGPT can generate concise summaries of lengthy documents, helping users quickly grasp the key points without reading the full content. Perfect for faster decision-making and quicker research.

Does FileSearchGPT integrate with Google Drive or other platforms?

Integration with Google Drive and other popular document storage platforms is planned. This will make it even easier to import important files directly into your folders without manually uploading them.

What happens if my question doesn't find an answer?

If a question cannot be answered, FileSearchGPT highlights it as a knowledge gap. You can use this insight to upload missing documents, update existing ones, or create new content to fill in the gaps for your team.
