# DocuSmart AI

DocuSmart AI is an AI-powered document search platform built primarily for nonprofits and civil society organisations (5-100 people). It lets teams ask natural language questions and receive citation-backed answers from documents stored across Google Drive, OneDrive, and Dropbox -- without migrating files, reorganising folders, or changing existing workflows. Founded by Paul Murnane through Enterprise Ireland's New Frontiers Phase 2 programme, DocuSmart is actively validated with nonprofits and civil society organisations across Ireland, the UK, and the US.

DocuSmart uses Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) to search across fragmented document storage systems simultaneously. It returns direct answers with source citations, integrates with Slack via a /ds command, and operates with per-user data isolation and AES-256 encryption at rest. The product is GDPR-compliant and never uses customer data to train AI models. Original documents are never stored -- only indexed embeddings.

The platform solves two core problems for nonprofits: losing institutional knowledge when staff leave, and teams spending hours hunting for grant history, funder reports, and programme records that already exist somewhere in their systems. Nonprofit pricing starts at EUR 150/month flat rate (Starter plan). SME plans are also available from EUR 20/user/month. Irish SMEs may be eligible for up to 50% funding through the Irish government's Grow Digital scheme.
