Point Locus at a folder of contracts, specs, and reports. Ask a question. Every answer cites the exact file, page, and section. Find contradictions between documents. Catch what reviewers miss. First try.

Locus thinks inside your folder — nowhere else. Your files stay on your machine. Only locally transformed fragments, never your original content, leave for processing.

One question. Five documents.
Problems nobody saw coming.

Locus Project Documents

3 commitments at risk across 47 documents.

The signed contract commits to completion by 15 March [Contract.pdf, page 42, Section 14.1 Key Dates]. Variation 003 extended this to 30 June [VAR-003.pdf, page 2, Section 2.1], but the LD schedule still penalises from 16 March at $45,000/day [Contract.pdf, page 58, Schedule 8]. The variation didn't update the LD clause.

Professional indemnity insurance expires 28 February [Insurance_Certificate.pdf, page 1, Period of Cover]. The contract requires continuous coverage until final completion [Contract.pdf, page 31, Section 11.3]. Works may be uninsured for 4 months.

The fee proposal includes dynamic modelling and load studies [Proposal.pdf, page 8, Section 3.2 Scope]. The signed agreement explicitly excludes all dynamic modelling [Agreement.pdf, page 4, Schedule 1 Exclusions]. The client may expect deliverables that aren't contractually owed.

Capabilities

Every file converges
to one point of clarity

Locus doesn't guess, infer, or fabricate. It reads your documents, indexes them locally, and grounds every answer in the actual source.

Cited, never fabricated

Every answer traces back to your actual documents — file name, page number, exact section. If Locus can't find it in your files, it won't make it up.

Every office format

PDFs, Word docs, Excel spreadsheets, PowerPoint decks, CSVs, and plain text — all readable, all searchable, all in one place.

Files stay on your machine

Documents never leave your computer. Only locally transformed fragments — never your original content — are sent for processing. Nothing is stored, nothing is logged.

Cross-document verification

Spot contradictions between documents, track requirements across files, and surface inconsistencies that would take hours to find manually.

Indexed in seconds

Point Locus at any folder. Re-opens are instant — only new or changed files get re-processed.

Desktop native

A lightweight app that feels part of your OS. No browser tabs, no cloud accounts, no friction.

The rules

What Locus does.
What it doesn't.

What it does

Reads every file in your folder. PDFs, Word docs, Excel spreadsheets, PowerPoint decks, CSVs, plain text.

Answers from the documents only. Every factual claim cites the exact file, page, and section it came from.

Compares across files. Spots contradictions, tracks requirements, surfaces inconsistencies between documents that different people wrote at different times.

Says "That's not in these documents" when it can't find the answer. Then stops. No guessing, no padding, no filler.

Keeps your files on your machine. Documents are read and indexed locally. Only locally transformed fragments — never your original content — leave for processing. Nothing is stored.

Builds its brain inside your folder. The index lives as a .locus_index folder right next to your files. You can see it, move it, delete it. No hidden databases, no cloud storage.

What it doesn't

Does not use outside knowledge. No internet, no training data, no general knowledge. If it's not written in your documents, Locus doesn't know it.

Does not make things up. No "based on my knowledge" or "generally speaking." Every answer is grounded or it's not given.

Does not add opinions or advice. No "you should consider" or "best practice suggests." Locus reports what your documents say. That's it.

Does not chat. It's not a conversational AI. It's not your assistant. It reads folders and answers questions about them.

Does not send your files anywhere. No cloud upload. No sync. No migration. Your folder stays where it is.

Process

Three steps to the locus

Open a folder

Point Locus at any directory — project files, contracts, financial records, research papers. Any mix of formats.

Watch it converge

Every document is read and indexed locally on your machine. The locus forms in seconds.

Get real answers

Every response cites the source document, page, and section. No hallucinations, no guesswork — just what's actually in your files.

Use cases

Built for people who live
inside documents

Engineers

Drop your Australian Standards, project specs, and vendor datasheets into one folder. Find compliance gaps, conflicting requirements, and missing hold points without opening 40 PDFs.

"Does our transformer specification comply with AS 60076 and what clauses in the client spec conflict with the vendor datasheet?"

Project Managers

When a contractor claims something is out of scope, find the exact clause that proves otherwise. Track commitments, variations, and deliverables buried across contracts and meeting minutes.

"Show me every deliverable commitment in the EPC contract and flag which ones are past their due date based on the schedule."

Accountant working with financial documents

Accountants

Preparing for an ATO review shouldn't take a week. Drop three years of tax returns, BAS statements, and PAYG summaries in one folder and reconcile instantly.

"Are there any discrepancies between my reported BAS totals and the income on my tax returns for FY22 and FY23?"

Legal & Compliance

Due diligence across hundreds of documents in a single query. Find every indemnity clause, every obligation that survives termination, every risk you need to flag before signing.

"List all indemnity and liability cap clauses across these 30 contracts and flag any that are uncapped."
