Patrivox is a European SaaS platform that turns scanned archives into a fully searchable knowledge base using Mistral AI OCR, automatic entity extraction, and an interactive knowledge graph.
What is Patrivox?
Patrivox is an AI-powered document intelligence platform hosted entirely in Europe (Scaleway, GDPR‑native). It takes PDF archives (single files or bulk batches) and outputs a searchable, interlinked knowledge base. The platform is built by Patrivox (company based in France/Belgium) and is already adopted by heritage institutions in Belgium and France.
Key Features
- Batch import — Drop hundreds of PDFs at once; files up to 250 MB (1 GB on higher plans) are processed automatically.
- Mistral AI OCR — Next‑generation optical character recognition extracts every word, including historical fonts and handwriting, with typo‑tolerant full‑text search.
- Automatic entity extraction (NER) — People, places, organizations, and dates are identified and linked across documents without manual tagging.
- Interactive knowledge graph — Navigate connections between entities; discover documents shared by the same person, location, or event.
- AI chat with source citations — Ask questions in plain language; the AI answers with exact page references from your documents.
- Built‑in document viewer — Zoom, navigate, and copy OCR text directly from the page.
- Unlimited readers — All plans include an unlimited number of read‑only users; only admins are counted.
Who is it for?
