Private by architecture
Your security model is the only security model.
No bulk data movement, no second index, no vector database to govern. SWIRL searches your systems live and in place, honoring the permissions each one already enforces.
The answer, not a guess
Ranked, and organization-approved.
Cross-encoder relevance plus canonical answers your teams pin and endorse - so people and agents get the result your organization actually trusts, not the model's best guess.
The safe on-ramp to AI
Headless, MCP-native, in your tenant.
SWIRL 5 is API-first with a first-class MCP server. Give your agents enterprise power at the lowest possible risk - search is the safe way to bring AI to your data.
The home dashboard · New in SWIRL 5

Your knowledge, organized into workspaces.

Group what matters into topics and workspaces. Recent files from every connected source - OneDrive, Box, iManage, ServiceNow - surface right on the dashboard, one click to add.

Federated search

One query. Every system. At once.

SWIRL fans a single query out across all your connected systems in parallel - documents, email, chat, tickets, code, the web - then re-ranks and deduplicates what comes back. No data moves.

Knowledge authority · New in SWIRL 5

The answer your organization approved.

Teams pin the canonical result for any query - the approved policy, the governing clause, the right precedent. Every later search, and every agent calling SWIRL over MCP, returns the endorsed answer instead of the model's best guess.

Search is the safe way to give
your agents enterprise power.

SWIRL 5 is headless and API-first. Any AI calls it over MCP and gets ranked, permissioned, approved answers - and your data never leaves your tenant.

In plain terms: your AI gets the right answer without your data ever moving.

Three passes to the right answer.

Not vector distance - judgment. SWIRL ranks in three passes, and both models run locally: nothing is sent over the wire.

In plain terms: the right answer rises to the top - and you can see why.

1
Federate & match
Keyword + BM25 across every source. Quoted phrases and exact terms are honored first - a quote must match.
2
Embedding re-rank
E5-Large-V2 embeddings with title-aware chunking, then hybrid keyword+vector fusion (RRF). No vector database to build or secure.
3
Cross-encoder re-rank
MS-MARCO cross-encoder reads the query and document together - scoring real relevance, not similarity.
E5-Large-V2MS-MARCO cross-encoderBM25 + RRFAny LLM, incl. on-prem
Recall-rate chart: SWIRL hybrid re-rank (gold) beats vector-only (blue) and keyword-only (red)
Independent corroboration
Meta's XetHub benchmarked all three. Keyword-only came last, vector-only did better, hybrid re-rank won - the approach SWIRL ships by default.
"No vector database necessary." - XetHub, 2024 (archived)
