Sound familiar?

Your work lives in files. Finding the right answer shouldn't mean guessing.

Search gives you files, not answers

You still open five PDFs and read until you find the line you need.

Generic chat wasn't built for your project

It doesn't know your folder — and it can't show you which page it used.

Sensitive work needs a clear boundary

You want help with your documents without wondering where they went.

How it works

Three steps. No API key on the default Mac path.

1. Open your project folder

Use the folder you already organize for real work.

2. Let PIIE search your files

PIIE prepares your documents so answers stay tied to your sources.

3. Ask and open the source

Get a direct answer, then jump to the cited page to verify.

Built for your documents

Not a replacement for everything — a better way to work inside your own files.

Chat that isn't tied to your files

  • Answers from general knowledge
  • Hard to verify
  • No link to your PDFs

PIIE on your Mac

  • Answers from your project folder
  • Numbered sources
  • Open the cited page

Why people use PIIE

Clear answers you can check before you act.

Answers you can verify

Replies can include inline [1] markers tied to your files — so you see the evidence, not just a confident sentence.

Private by default

On the default path, your files are indexed and used on your Mac.

Minutes to first answer

Install, open a folder, and ask your first question — without setting up cloud keys.
