From internal knowledge to useful answers

1. 01 · Collect

   Dedicated scrapers gather discussions, documentation, and BookStack content, preserving the original text, dates, and source links.

2. 02 · Retrieve

   BISS indexes the content as passages and combines matches by meaning and by keyword to find relevant evidence for a question.

3. 03 · Answer

   Users can explore the search results or ask an AI assistant to build an answer from the retrieved evidence, with links to its sources.
