Patrivox

Patrivox is a European SaaS platform that transforms static document archives into dynamic, searchable knowledge bases. It is designed for heritage institutions, municipal archives, historical societies, libraries, and similar organizations burdened with large collections of scanned documents like PDFs. The platform leverages Mistral AI to perform advanced OCR and automatically extract, classify, and connect information. Its core value proposition is unlocking inaccessible knowledge, turning thousands of unsearchable pages into an intelligent system where any word or concept can be found in seconds. Users can search with typo tolerance or ask questions in natural language, receiving AI-generated answers with direct citations from the source material. Built with European data sovereignty as a priority, Patrivox is GDPR-native and hosted entirely within the EU, offering a secure solution for public and private archival collections to enhance research, operational efficiency, and public access.

Next-Gen OCR & Automated Indexing

Patrivox uses Mistral AI for superior optical character recognition, reading every page you upload. It automatically identifies and extracts key entities like people, places, organizations, and dates from your documents. This happens in batch for hundreds of files at once, eliminating all manual data entry and configuration, so your collection becomes fully searchable in minutes.

AI-Powered Search & Chat

Find information instantly with a powerful search engine that includes typo tolerance and filters by date, author, or document type. Go beyond keywords by asking questions in plain language. The AI chat function understands your query and provides concise answers, directly citing the source documents it pulled the information from for complete transparency.

Interactive Knowledge Graph

The platform doesn't just index text; it maps connections. Automatically identified entities are linked in a visual, interactive knowledge graph called "Constellation." Navigate from person to place to organization to discover hidden relationships and contextual links across your entire archive that were previously impossible to see at a glance.

Sovereign European Hosting

Patrivox is built on a foundation of data sovereignty and security. All data is processed and stored 100% within the European Union, ensuring full GDPR compliance. The platform includes features like audit logs and provides unlimited read-only access for sharing your archives securely with researchers, teams, or the public.
