You remember the event. Your computer remembers the evidence.
"Which contractor gave us the lower roof quote?" "Where is the dishwasher warranty?" "Find the tax letter from around 2019." Ask naturally across mail, documents and photos. docenta answers from your own history, cites the proof, and says "not in the collection" when it is not there. It never leaves your computer.
The purchase receipt is dated October 21, 2024 and names model DW-4820. The warranty PDF states two years of parts and labor from purchase, which puts the end of ordinary coverage at October 21, 2026 if that term applies. A March 2026 service email documents an earlier pump failure. The collection holds the receipt, the warranty and the model number, but no serial-number photo and no registration confirmation.
An illustration of the shape of an answer. The files are made up; the behavior is docenta's, including the part where it tells you what is missing before you call the manufacturer.
You remember the meaning, the date, the argument. Ask that.
Find it
Find the receipt and the manual for this model even though I do not remember the filename.
Find the photo from the trip where the car broke down and show the date and place if the photo has them.
Which documents mention this serial number, account or reference number?
Quotes and promises
What did the roofer first quote, what was the revised amount, and which number did they say would stand?
Which contractor promised to do this, for what price, and by when?
Did the contractor ever send the final invoice after the revised estimate?
Which version
Which version of the home insurance policy is newest, and which was in force when the leak happened?
Do I have a signed final contract, or only drafts?
Timeline
When did we buy, replace and service the HVAC, and what records do we have?
Put every document about the kitchen remodel in date order.
Evidence and gaps
What do my files prove about when this item was purchased, installed or repaired?
Which records would I need for this warranty or tax question that are not in my collection?
Did we ever get written confirmation of the agreement I remember?
Plain words work.
Ask the way you would ask a friend who read everything. docenta corrects spelling against your own files and tells you when it dropped a word to find an answer.
Your mail, past and present.
Bring the mailbox export in once; from then on docenta fetches new mail on its own, every hour. A Google account signs in with one click on Allow; any other provider takes an app password you make in four steps. Your real password is never typed anywhere.
Photos and documents.
The time and place inside a photo, the words on the receipt you photographed, the text inside a scan, the attachment inside a thread. Twenty years of it, HEIC and camera RAW included, on a normal Mac or PC; the heavy work runs at night or on a rented GPU for an hour with your say-so.
The same four-part contract, every time.
Exact source.
The file, the page, the message, the span. Not "sources": the line you can open and read.
Order and version.
When it was said, which version it was, what replaced what. A three-event timeline beats another paragraph.
Conflicts.
Two sources that disagree are shown side by side, never smoothed into one confident sentence.
Gaps.
"Not established by this collection" is an answer, printed as one. It is how you know the rest is solid.
The evidence path.
What was searched, which lanes answered, what was dropped and why, how many tokens the agent was handed. Inspectable, every time.
Boundedness is the feature.
Most AI marketing hides uncertainty. docenta prints it. The lines below are not disclaimers; they are what a trustworthy answer looks like.
Honest when it does not know. If the answer is not in your files, docenta says "not in the collection" and shows what it did find. No invented facts about your own life.
Dates are quoted, not computed in secret. A warranty end date is shown as the receipt date plus the term the document states; you see both and check the sum.
Drafts are not the signed copy. When the final signed document is not in the collection, the answer says so instead of presenting the last draft as the deal.
Nothing leaves the house. Medical, school and money paperwork is indexed on your computer or not at all; there is no cloud copy to worry about.

Ask the sensitive question without first uploading the sensitive file.
Your household folders, your mail and your photos stay on your machine: ingest, index, embeddings and answers all run there. Originals are never copied; only searchable derivatives are stored. Your agent gets a small evidence pack, a few kilobytes with the receipts, not your archive. Zero uploads, zero telemetry, and the token budget is printed on every answer.
It gets it over MCP, the connector standard Claude, ChatGPT and most coding assistants speak, from a server that runs on your own machine: the agent talks to a local process, not to a URL in someone's cloud. The only remote MCP addresses on this site are the public doors, sealed collections hosted on purpose; your own collection never has one. Deterministic layers, no learned model in the retrieval loop, bit-stable re-runs.
