Three Numbers Spell Burnout—But AI Can Change That 

In 1986, knowledge workers handled about 10 pages of information per day. By the early 2020s, that number soared to 150 pages—a short novel’s worth daily. This overload leads to wasted hours, frustration, and burnout. SWIRL solves the problem by bringing AI directly to your data—without re-indexing, duplicating, or moving it. From enterprise databases to chat tools and PDFs, SWIRL finds the key details you need while keeping your data secure. The result? Less overload, more productivity, and zero burnout.

From POC to Production: Lessons from our latest webinar! 

Many AI POCs look great in demos—like bots answering questions from a PDF—but fall apart in production. Updating and curating content becomes labor-intensive, especially when information changes often. SWIRL eliminates that problem. Instead of reformatting data into PDFs, SWIRL searches internal sources like SharePoint, Box, and secure websites, delivering updated answers instantly with Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG). No special file handling, no lag—just accurate, real-time results that scale from POC to production.

Turn AI From Amusing Toy to Productive Tool 

AI looks easy to use—but it’s just as easy to use badly. Without careful prompting, users encounter irrelevant answers, hallucinations, and wasted time. SWIRL solves these problems by enhancing prompts with Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG), combining your private and company data securely—without moving it—and delivering more accurate, relevant results. The result? Up to 8 hours saved per week and a frustration-free AI experience that turns AI from an amusing toy into a truly productive tool.

From Data Scavenger Hunt to Data Gold 

Data is growing exponentially, stored across countless locations—email, Slack, Teams, PDFs, and more—making it harder than ever for knowledge workers to find relevant information quickly. Traditional search tools often produce mountains of irrelevant results, wasting 7–10 hours a week per person. SWIRL changes this with secure, AI-powered enterprise search that integrates directly with your data sources, eliminates duplication, prevents hallucinations, and organizes results by relevancy. The result? Fast, fact-based insights you can trust—turning your data scavenger hunt into actionable gold.

RAG Against the Machine

RAG Against the Machine 

When AI “hallucinates,” it can give convincing but false answers—like imaginary court cases or nonsensical instructions. Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) prevents this by limiting AI responses to verified data sources. SWIRL applies RAG without duplicating data or requiring a vector database, bringing AI to your existing systems while maintaining security. The result is context-aware, relevant, and trustworthy answers—no mess, no nonsense.
