AI Assistant

A private AI assistant that answers from your company's documents

Short answer

It answers only from your documents and shows where each answer came from. When it does not know, it says "I don't know". You start with a $750, one-week test, then decide on the full build, from $3,000.

Northstr is an AI consultancy that builds private AI assistants on your company's documents. Your team asks a question in plain English and gets an answer with its source, so they can check it.

What it is

A private assistant for your team. It reads the documents you give it, such as manuals, policies, contracts and past answers, and replies to questions using only those documents.

  • Each answer shows where it came from, so a person can check it.
  • When the documents do not have the answer, it says "I don't know".
  • Your documents stay in accounts you own. AI costs are billed to your own accounts.

Your fixed build price is in your Hundred Questions report. The price goes up if your documents live in more than one system, include scanned pages or tables, need different access for different people, automatic updates, or more than one language.
