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. Parsed and indexed into one unified knowledge base.

Files stay on your machine

Documents never leave your computer. Only relevant text fragments are sent to the AI — never stored, never 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.

Process

Three steps to the locus

01

Open a folder

02

Watch it converge

Every document is read, chunked intelligently, and embedded into a local search index. The locus forms in seconds.

03

Get real answers

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