Keep knowledge scoped
Documents and vector search are scoped to the current workspace, with ownership checks and row-level controls around the application data.
DocuBrain · public direction
Make company knowledge easier to ask, check and use.
DocuBrain is a white-label document assistant MVP. Businesses can create a workspace, upload documents and ask questions against those documents, receiving answers with citations to the relevant source material.
Status: This is an MVP direction. A document assistant should make provenance visible and say when it cannot find support in a source; it should not present ungrounded answers as company truth.
Source-aware answers, not black-box confidence. A useful knowledge system connects an answer back to the documents that support it, while keeping each workspace isolated.
What exists now
A white-label assistant grounded in a workspace's documents.
The MVP supports workspace ownership, document upload, extraction, chunking, vector search and answers with citations. Its key operating rule is simple: a workspace should not receive an answer that cannot be tied back to the documents it controls.
Show the supporting source
Answers can cite the matched document chunks. If relevant information cannot be found, the product should acknowledge that instead of filling the gap with confident invention.
Make it usable by businesses
Businesses can set up a workspace and assistant identity, providing a starting point for a branded, focused knowledge experience.
Staged direction
Reliable knowledge work before scale.
Prove useful, cited document answers
Validate document ingestion, grounded retrieval, workspace isolation and useful answers on real business questions. The base product must be trustworthy before it becomes broader.
Team roles, billing and lifecycle controls
Explore team roles, billing and deliberate workspace deletion. These are product decisions that need clear ownership, retention policy and authorization design—not just interface additions.
Durable document processing
Introduce a background processing queue where it is justified, so large or slow document work can be observed, retried and recovered without misleading the user about processing status.
Non-negotiables
Knowledge products need privacy and intellectual honesty.
Workspace isolation
A company should only retrieve from its own authorized documents. Team and role expansion must preserve that boundary throughout the request path.
Citations over theatrics
The answer's value is its traceability. Source references make it possible for people to check the system and decide whether the answer is sufficient.
Honest processing state
Uploads and processing should visibly move through reliable states. A product cannot claim that a document is ready until it actually is.
