Ask Doxis what you need to know

The deadline's approaching, but one last piece of information is still missing? You know it's in there somewhere, buried in that bulging electronic file you've so meticulously filled with everything project-related you came across. Reading through all of it yourself is not going to happen before Friday.

People’s demands have massively changed

Accessing business-critical information right when you need it is essential, but the sources are scattered across systems and departments, depending on your role and responsibility. As a CFO, for example, you need quick answers hidden across contracts, invoices, approvals and correspondence. You ask questions such as “which supplier contracts expire in the next 90 days?”, “which contracts contain an automatic price increase?” or “show me all documents related to the 2025 external audit”.

Whereas, as an account executive, you may be looking for the latest sales presentation on AI, customer testimonials from the financial services sector, or a signed framework agreement with a specific customer - without being an expert in using the system and how to find things or having the time to familiarize yourself with its intricacies.

Why traditional search is slowing you down

In most organizations, knowledge workers and administrative staff alike  face the same daily challenges:

  • Too many documents, too little time
    Information is scattered across systems, files, and formats
  • Unclear search starting point
    You often don’t know the exact keywords or document names
  • Manual effort and inefficiency
    Searching through hundreds of documents takes time, and still might not deliver results
  • Lack of context
    Even when you find a document, you still need to read and interpret it
  • Information silos
    Different departments and systems prevent a unified view of information

But what if you could simply ask your e-file for that missing piece of information and get the answer or the document right away? Wishful thinking? It’s not. Most company content repositories are treasure troves of valuable information, containing useful knowledge that can help improve current projects – among many first, second, and 10th versions of a document, admittedly. You just have to identify the right information the moment you need it. “No way I could do that", you say? Actually, you can. That’s why we created Superhuman Search and Ask Doxi, two powerful ways to find the information you need out of millions of documents and to have conversations with it. The best part of it they work really well together.

Two powerful ways to find knowledge inside Doxis

Search like a human, not like a machine

With Superhuman Search, finding the right information doesn’t require training or institutional knowledge. It allows you to search Doxis the way you actually think - in simple, natural language. The results are returned instantly from the entire repository, without you ever having to know which search mode, dialog, or syntax was used. Superhuman Search removes this barrier entirely. One search bar. Any question. The right answer, every time.

Natural language: Ask "which supplier contracts expire in the next 90 days?" or "show me all documents related to the 2025 external audit" and get precise, relevant results. From the occasional user to the specialist who lives in the system daily, Superhuman Search serves every persona – no advanced search training required.

Searches everything, everywhere: Queries run across the full Doxis repository in one pass, eliminating the need to guess which system or repository holds the answer. It understands context and relationships in content, can list the relevant files, and drill down beyond the search results.

With Superhuman Search you search for documents, tasks, and workspaces in natural language across the entire Doxis repository

Ask Doxi what you need to know

Ask Doxi is a powerful AI assistant that understands your questions in natural language, knows the context of your search, and looks deep into your documents to find relevant answers. It provides AI-generated summaries, answers your questions, and shows you the sources the answers are based on.

Conversational: Ask questions of specific documents, workspaces and tasks, or to the system as a whole for general guidance, in plain language and as part of an ongoing conversation.

Verified answers: AI-generated responses always come with references back to the source so users can check the outcome rather than take it on faith.

Stop searching. Start knowing

Ask Doxi and Superhuman Search are changing the way we work with information. Instead of searching for documents, opening files and reading them line by line, you’ll:

✅ Get answers faster: You get straight to the point instead of sifting through documents

✅ Make better decisions: You can verify answers by jumping directly to the original source

✅ Be more productive: Your time goes back to thinking, planning, and creating value, instead of endless searching
