Brightside Risk · Project
Scanning physical books to build a knowledge corpus that a local AI can search, read and cite.
Every answer traces back to a book and a page.
Overview
We are working on a project to turn physical books into a knowledge corpus for local AI.
We scan each book page by page and convert the pages to text. The text is cleaned, organized by book, chapter and page, and indexed so an AI model can search it.
The model runs locally, on hardware the project controls. It answers questions from the books themselves and cites the title and page for every answer. The collection and the questions stay private.
Why local AI
A local model runs on hardware we own. The books, the corpus and the questions never leave it.
No cloud service sees the collection or the questions people ask.
The AI answers from the scanned books and cites the title and page.
Once built, the corpus and the model run without an internet connection.
Project lead
The project is led by an experienced risk manager and risk management instructor who builds the agents behind Brightside Desk.
