Patrivox

Patrivox is a collaborative European SaaS platform designed to unlock the collective knowledge hidden within physical archives and scanned document collections. It serves as a powerful, shared brain for organizations like municipal archives, historical societies, heritage libraries, and associations. By working in synergy, teams can effortlessly transform thousands of unsearchable PDF pages into a dynamic, intelligent knowledge base. The platform leverages cutting-edge Mistral AI to perform next-generation OCR and automatically identify key entities such as people, places, and organizations. This process not only makes every word searchable in seconds but also maps the connections between them in an interactive knowledge graph. Patrivox's core value proposition is fostering cooperation between information and people; it breaks down silos by making historically inaccessible archives instantly searchable via full-text search or natural language questions, enabling seamless sharing with researchers, team members, and the public. Built with sovereignty in mind, it is 100% hosted in Europe and GDPR-native, ensuring that collaborative work meets the highest data protection standards.

Automation & Intelligent Processing

Patrivox streamlines team workflows through powerful automation. Simply drag and drop hundreds of PDFs in a batch, and the platform takes over. Utilizing Mistral AI, it performs advanced OCR to extract every word, then automatically identifies and classifies entities like names, locations, and dates. This eliminates the need for manual data entry and configuration, allowing your collective efforts to focus on analysis and insight rather than tedious indexing.

Intelligent Search & AI Chat

Foster a cooperative research environment with powerful search tools. Teams can perform instant, typo-tolerant full-text searches across the entire archive. For more nuanced inquiry, members can ask questions in plain language through the AI chat interface. The AI provides concise answers directly sourced from your documents, complete with citations, enabling faster discovery and collaborative verification of information.

Interactive Knowledge Graph (Constellation)

Uncover hidden narratives and relationships within your archives through the Constellation feature. This interactive knowledge graph visually maps every person, place, and organization identified by the AI, showing how they are connected across different documents. Teams can navigate from node to node, discovering non-obvious links and patterns that would be impossible to find manually, sparking new avenues for cooperative research.

Sovereign European Hosting & Sharing

Collaborate with confidence knowing your data is secure and compliant. Patrivox is 100% hosted in Europe and built to be GDPR-native from the ground up, featuring comprehensive audit logs. The platform supports seamless sharing, allowing unlimited readers to access the knowledge base while providing controlled administrative roles for team members, making it easy to open your archives to researchers or the public.

Municipal Archives

Municipal teams can cooperate to digitize and bring to life their collections of deliberations, civil registers, and historical correspondence. Patrivox makes these documents fully searchable, allowing staff to serve public inquiries in seconds and enabling historians to conduct research through a shared, accessible platform, thus enhancing civic transparency and historical preservation.

Historical Societies & Associations

Volunteers and researchers within societies can synergize their efforts to manage bulletins, newsletters, and documentary collections. By automating the indexing process, Patrivox alleviates the burden of manual work, allowing members to quickly find information, ask the AI complex questions about their holdings, and share their enriched archives with a wider audience.

Heritage Libraries & Special Collections

Libraries can open their special collections to cooperative research without risking fragile originals. Patrivox allows librarians and researchers to work together in a digital space, where rare books, manuscripts, and pamphlets are made searchable and explorable through the knowledge graph, fostering new academic collaborations and public engagement.

Diocesan & Parish Archives

Diocesan teams and parish historians can collaborate on preserving invaluable registers, ecclesiastical documents, and historical records. Patrivox helps identify and connect names and places across centuries, simplifying genealogical research for the public and providing clergy with a shared, organized system to access their institutional memory.

How does Patrivox handle data privacy and security?

Patrivox is built on a foundation of data sovereignty and security. The entire platform is hosted on servers located within the European Union. It is designed to be fully compliant with GDPR regulations by default, incorporating principles like data minimization and providing comprehensive audit logs. Your documents and the data extracted from them never leave European jurisdiction.

What is the "Constellation" or knowledge graph feature?

The Constellation is an interactive visual map of the people, places, and organizations found in your documents. The AI doesn't just list these entities; it intelligently maps the relationships between them, showing how they are connected across different documents. This allows teams to visually explore their archives, discovering non-obvious links and narratives that traditional search cannot reveal.

Can I try Patrivox before committing to a paid plan?

Yes, absolutely. Patrivox offers a free "Decouverte" plan to encourage teams to experience its collaborative benefits firsthand. This plan includes 100 trial pages, 50 AI queries, and support for one administrator with unlimited readers. No credit card is required to start, allowing your team to test the workflow from upload to insight without any obligation.

What happens if I exceed my plan's page or query limit?

If your collaborative project grows and you exceed your current plan's page limit, you will need to upgrade to a higher tier to upload more documents. For AI queries, once the monthly allowance is used, the AI chat feature will be unavailable until the next billing cycle resets the count, though the full-text search and knowledge graph will remain fully accessible.
