Details

This tool helps Government of Canada employees search through large libraries of scientific and grey-literature PDFs using AI-powered semantic search, so they can find relevant passages without having to read every document manually. It extracts text from PDF files and uses a Small Language Model to match queries to contextually related content. The system does not process personal information. Users are informed that AI is in use.
