The tool streams grounded responses scoped to user‑defined boundaries, and each answer includes a clickable citation for instant verification, supporting researchers, founders, and journalists.

Problem
Researchers, founders, and journalists often struggle to keep track of information from diverse sources such as PDFs, web pages, and transcripts, making it difficult to retrieve exact citations when answering questions or drafting content.
Solution
Xeso offers a cloud‑based research library where users can import PDFs, links, and transcripts into organized folders. The platform creates searchable embeddings of the saved content and provides an AI‑driven chat interface that answers queries by streaming responses grounded in the user's own material. Each answer includes a clickable citation that opens the exact passage used, allowing instant verification. Users can also save the generated answer back into the original note, keeping the knowledge base consolidated and continuously growing.
Target Audience
Primary users are individual researchers, startup founders, and journalists who need a personal, citation‑rich knowledge base to support writing, analysis, and decision‑making.
