Short answer

AskTuring is built to work with your documents, giving cited, verifiable answers specific to your needs.

Full explanation

General AI tools rely on the model’s training data, which may be broad but not tailored to your specific files or workflows. AskTuring is designed to focus on your own documents and information, making it far more relevant for tasks that require accuracy, compliance, and context.

Key differences include:

  • Document grounding: You can choose to have answers generated only from your uploaded documents, ensuring responses are tied to your actual source material.

  • Citations and verification: Every answer includes links to the exact page in the source document, so you can check the context yourself.

  • Data isolation: Your information is never used to train the LLMs we integrate with.

  • Custom semantic mapping: Our patented tagging process helps the AI understand connections between terms, concepts, and documents.

  • Multiple LLM options: You can select which large language model to use for generating responses, giving flexibility in output style and reasoning.

While general AI tools are helpful for broad questions, AskTuring is designed to be a trusted, domain-specific assistant that works directly with your own content.
