The problem

Everything your company knows is buried in its files.

In regulated, contract-heavy companies, much of the day goes on hunting for the right contract, clause or version. The tools they have weren't built to find answers, and the AI that could help isn't allowed in.

  1. 01

    Search finds file names, not answers

    Shared drives match words in titles, so people open dozens of files to find one clause, one figure or the latest version.

  2. 02

    Decisions get lost

    The reason behind a decision sits in an email thread, a call recording or an approval comment, where nobody can find it later.

  3. 03

    Knowledge walks out the door

    When someone leaves, what they knew about clients, contracts and past decisions leaves with them.

  4. 04

    Cloud AI isn't allowed in

    Client files and contracts can't go to a vendor's servers, and the private options are built for the largest banks and governments.

What we learned

Regulated companies don't want an AI platform. They want answers they can defend.

They stay accountable for whatever their AI says. So every answer needs a clickable source, the AI must never see a file the user can't, and often the files can't leave the building.

From conversations with security, compliance, risk and technical leaders at regulated, contract-heavy companies.

How it works

Stop moving data.
Move the question.

Every copy of your data is a new risk and a new compliance problem. So fileyap never makes one. The AI comes to your files, inside your own infrastructure, and nothing leaves.

  1. 01 / 04

    Deploy where your data lives

    Install fileyap on your own servers, in a sovereign cloud region or fully air-gapped. One-click deployment, ready to use in seconds.

  2. 02 / 04

    Index everything in place

    Point it at your file shares, object storage and email archives. Every file is indexed where it already lives, into one searchable layer.

  3. 03 / 04

    The question travels. The answer comes back.

    Ask in plain language, the way you'd ask a colleague. fileyap searches where the files live and replies with the exact passages it relied on. If it isn't in your files, it says so.

  4. 04 / 04

    Answers you can defend

    Answers respect the access rights you already manage, so nobody sees a file they couldn't open before. Every question, answer and source is logged for audit.

Connectors and data fabric

Every system you run.
One living context.

The facts about one customer live in a dozen platforms: the contract in Google Drive, the deal in Salesforce, the tickets in Zendesk, the invoices in SAP. fileyap's connectors weave them into one data fabric that stays current, so a single question can reach across every domain.

01

Connect

Connectors read every file and record already there, then pick up each change as it happens.

  • Google Drive
  • SharePoint
  • Salesforce
  • Outlook
  • Slack
  • SAP
  • Zendesk
  • Snowflake

02

Unify

Everything about the same customer, supplier or case is linked, and each source's permissions come with it.

Likely. Ahead of the £480k renewal, usage is down 18% this quarter, invoice 90-2291 is 34 days overdue, and Acme's CFO wants to reopen the liability cap in the new MSA.

The core engine

An AI-native file system on a distributed data fabric.

Search made the web findable. fileyap makes your own files answerable, for one person or a whole enterprise. Every format is understood, every change is indexed as it happens, and every search runs in milliseconds.

Request a briefing

AI-Native File System

Multimodal understanding. Folders only know file names. fileyap reads what's inside every document, spreadsheet, scan, recording and email, and keeps each passage tied to its exact page, cell or timestamp, so every answer can be cited. Every format. One file system.

Distributed Data Fabric

Real-time, distributed index. One central index goes stale and slows down as it grows. fileyap spreads the index in shards across the fileyap premium cloud and your own servers, indexes every change from every connected system as it happens, and runs each question on every shard at once. Current, accurate and fast at any size.

Industries

Wherever the answer is in a file you can't send out.

Every regulated, document-heavy industry shares the same problem: the files that matter most can't leave. Pick one to see the kind of questions fileyap answers.

Platform

Six capabilities.
One perimeter.

One modular Sovereign AI platform to ask, reason and act on private data. Start with search, add agents when you're ready, and bring your own models and tools. Every layer runs inside your own perimeter.

  1. Documents, spreadsheets, scans, images, audio, video and email are parsed beside your files and understood by meaning, not file name.

For agents and developers

Your agents get a source of truth.

Agents query the same layer through a deterministic query language built for them, so they get precise, repeatable results instead of guesses. Any AI tool, agent or app can connect over MCP or the API and get cited answers from your own data.

  • MCP server and REST API
  • Deterministic, repeatable queries
  • Same permissions as the user

Next: agents that act on your files inside the same walls, like flagging contracts before they renew.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Whether you're one person with a laptop full of files, a growing team or a regulated enterprise, these are the questions people ask us first.

  • GeneralWhat is fileyap?

    fileyap is private, AI-powered search for your files. Ask a question in plain language and get an answer drawn from your own documents, spreadsheets, scans, recordings and email, with every source passage highlighted.

  • GeneralWho is it for?

    Anyone whose answers live in files they can't send to a public AI: individuals with private files, teams that share knowledge, and regulated, document-heavy companies in industries like finance, legal, healthcare and government.

  • GeneralIs fileyap available now?

    fileyap is in private beta. The first waitlist cohort onboards in November 2026, and we plan a full public launch in January 2027. Join the waitlist to get an invite.

  • GeneralHow is it different from ChatGPT, Copilot or enterprise search?

    Cloud AI tools run on the vendor's servers, and shared-drive search finds file names, not answers. fileyap runs inside your own infrastructure or on the secure fileyap cloud, reads every format, and shows the exact passage behind every answer. If the answer isn't in your files, it says so.

  • IndividualsCan I use fileyap on my own?

    Yes. Individuals can run fileyap on their own device or in the fileyap cloud, and start free.

  • IndividualsDo my files leave my device?

    Not if you run fileyap on your own device: your files, and the AI that reads them, stay there. If you choose the fileyap premium cloud instead, your files are kept in a dedicated, encrypted tenant.

  • CompaniesWhat can fileyap read?

    Documents and PDFs, spreadsheets, scans and images, audio, video and email. It also connects to the platforms your teams already use, such as Google Drive, SharePoint, Salesforce, Slack and SAP.

  • CompaniesHow does a company get started?

    With a 30-minute briefing, then a paid pilot on your own infrastructure. Your team's real questions become the test, and we measure every answer and its sources against the bar you set before moving to production.

  • CompaniesHow is fileyap priced?

    Companies start with a paid pilot, then an annual licence. Teams pay per seat, and individuals can start free. Request a briefing for a quote.

  • IT and securityWhere does fileyap run?

    On your own servers, in a sovereign cloud region, fully air-gapped, or in the fileyap premium cloud. Models, inference, memory and embeddings all run inside that environment.

  • IT and securityDoes it respect our access rights?

    Yes. Answers follow the permissions you already manage, so nobody sees a file they couldn't open before. Every question, answer and source is logged for audit.

  • IT and securityCan we use our own AI model?

    Yes. Bring your own model, or let fileyap route between models by cost, speed and privacy, including models that run entirely on your own servers.

  • Developers and AICan our agents and AI tools use fileyap?

    Yes. Any AI tool, agent or app can connect over MCP or the REST API and get cited answers from your own data, with the same permissions as the person using it.

  • Developers and AIIs there a version of this site for LLMs and bots?

    Yes. Choose Machine in the theme menu to read the whole site as plain text, or point your tools at /llms.txt and /llms-full.txt.
