Focal Introduction

Focal works by indexing and connecting all of a user's uploaded documents and saved web pages into a searchable knowledge base. Its AI-powered search engine uses natural language processing to understand queries contextually, delivering relevant results and insights. Users can ask questions in natural language, and Focal will provide answers synthesized from across the knowledge base, complete with citations to source documents. The platform also offers features like automatic summarization, content generation assistance for tasks like literature reviews and blog posts, and customizable citation styles. Focal employs retrieval augmented generation (RAG) to ensure responses are based on the most up-to-date information in a user's knowledge base without training on sensitive data.
