[UofT] Give Your Local File System Memory - Intelligent Document Reference

Our application is an intelligent document search and question-answering system designed to help users quickly find information within their personal files. Instead of relying on file names or exact keyword matches, the system analyzes the actual content of documents and allows users to search using natural language queries.

The application automatically indexes files from the user’s file system, extracts their content, and organizes the information in a way that makes it easy to retrieve later. When a user asks a question or searches for a topic, the system identifies the most relevant files and sections of text, then returns either the file paths or a summarized answer supported with citations to the original documents.

The system supports multiple file formats, including documents, spreadsheets, images, and text files, enabling users to search across different types of data in one place. By combining semantic search with AI-powered reasoning, the application helps users navigate large collections of files more efficiently and quickly locate the information they need.
