The problem

Your organisation runs on what it knows. Decades of research, methods and judgement, kept in archives and in the heads of a few experts. Generic AI has read none of it. So it guesses.

Expertise that doesn't scale

Your best people answer the same questions every week. When they leave, the answers leave with them.

Archives that AI can't read

Books, journals, manuals and contracts hold your value. To a generic AI model, they are just more text.

Knowledge handed away

Using a generic AI tool means sending your IP to someone else's model, on someone else's terms.

What Uthereal does

We build the knowledge layer your AI stands on.

Follow one page from your archive to an answer.

  1. 1 · Content

    Start with everything you have

    Books, journals, guidelines, contracts, video. Every format, exactly as it is today.

  2. 2 · Structure

    Read the way an expert reads

    Headings, paragraphs, tables and references are parsed with more than 99% extraction accuracy.

  3. 3 · Knowledge objects

    Turn text into knowledge

    Claims, evidence and methods become linked objects. Each one points to the exact page it came from.

  4. 4 · AI products

    Answer with proof

    Assistants, agents, search and APIs draw only on those objects. Every answer cites its sources, under your brand.

How it works

From archive to AI product in three steps.

Step 1 of 3

Bring your knowledge

Upload files or connect the systems you already use. We handle the formats, the scans and the footnotes.

  • PDF
  • EPUB
  • XML / JATS
  • Video
  • Audio
  • SharePoint
  • Databases
  • Contracts

Step 2 of 3

Decide how it reasons

Your experts set the rules, the tone and the limits. No code, and no guessing outside your sources.

  • Answer only from approved sources
  • Cite every claim to the page
  • Tone: clinical, concise
  • Give dosage advice

Step 3 of 3

Launch it under your name

Deploy as an assistant, an agent or an API. Your brand, your pricing, your customers.

Customer spotlight · Quintessence Publishing

75+ years of dental knowledge, now an assistant clinicians can question.

Quintessence turned more than 75 years of dental publishing into an AI assistant for practitioners. It answers only from their books and journals, and cites the page every time.

“Impressive. This is mind-blowing accuracy and an effective expert view.”

Does smoking change implant success rates?

Yes. Twelve studies in the archive address it. Most report lower success rates in heavy smokers, and several recommend a cessation protocol before surgery.12
