What document chat is

Private document chat lets a user ask questions about selected documents. A good workflow should show what content is being used and avoid pretending the model knows more than the supplied context.

  • Ask questions over local documents
  • Keep source context understandable
  • Use local AI where supported by the setup

Why local-first matters

For client files, internal notes, and operational policies, teams often want a setup that keeps sensitive work close to the PC. MAIA is built around that expectation, while still being clear when account or support features need online access.

  • Useful for SMEs and consultants
  • Helpful for policy, project, and support knowledge
  • Designed for practical Windows workstations

Start small and verify

The best first version is a small set of representative documents, a clear question set, and careful review of answers. MAIA should help users build confidence before expanding a workspace.
