Short answer
AskTuring is purpose-built to work with your own documents and data, providing cited, verifiable answers that are specific to your organization’s needs.
Full explanation
Most general AI tools rely on their model’s pre-trained data. While they can handle broad topics, they are not designed to understand or securely reference your organization’s files, workflows, or terminology.
AskTuring is different. It is designed to work directly with your content, making it more accurate, trustworthy, and relevant for tasks that require compliance, precision, and context.
Key differences include:
Document grounding: AskTuring can generate answers using only your uploaded documents. This ensures every response is tied directly to your verified source material.
Citations and verification: Every answer includes links to the exact pages or sections of your documents, allowing you to confirm the context immediately.
Data isolation: Your data is private and never used to train the large language models (LLMs) that AskTuring integrates with.
Custom semantic mapping: AskTuring uses patented Semantic Maps to understand your industry’s terminology, acronyms, and concept relationships, which general AI tools cannot do.
Multiple LLM options: You can choose which AI model to use for generating responses, giving you control over output style and reasoning depth.
Compliance-ready environment: AskTuring’s SOC 2 certified infrastructure is designed for data-sensitive and regulated industries.
While general AI tools are useful for open-ended questions, AskTuring is a domain-specific assistant built to deliver accurate, traceable answers grounded in your organization’s own content.
