Problem
Journalists, researchers, and analysts rely on large collections of text, audio, video, and image files, but conventional large language models often generate answers that cannot be verified against the original sources, leading to hallucinations and unreliable information.
Solution
Sourcebase offers an AI-native document intelligence platform that ingests multimedia content into a unified “media lakehouse” and indexes it for semantic search. When users query the system via chat or research tools, the AI generates answers that include precise citations to the originating document, page, and paragraph, ensuring full traceability. The platform’s hybrid search combines vector similarity with traditional indexing to surface relevant information across tens of thousands of files quickly. By keeping humans in control of the workflow, Sourcebase enables trustworthy, source‑based insights while preventing unverified AI hallucinations.
Target Audience
Primary customers are newsrooms, investigative journalists, academic researchers, and corporate analysts who need accurate, source‑verified information from extensive multimedia archives.
