About

Albus is a cloud workspace designed to help people and businesses build knowledge bases from their own files. Instead of spending time creating folder structures and hunting through documents manually, users drop files into Albus and the platform indexes, categorizes, and makes them searchable by meaning.

At a high level, Albus ingests multiple file types — including PDFs, Word documents, text files, images, audio, and web articles — and applies semantic indexing so content can be searched and questioned naturally. Answers come back with page and section references pointing into the user's own library. The product is developed by Albus Technologies Limited, a company based in Cambridge, England, operating as "Albus" and "Albus.org". Beyond document analysis, the platform also includes AI image generation, audio narration, a canvas workspace, and a mobile voice assistant.

Key Features

Automatic file organization: Files dropped into Albus are sorted into categories automatically through a semantic indexing engine, removing the need to build folder structures by hand.
Semantic search across formats: Users can search across PDFs, images, audio, Word documents, Markdown files, and web articles based on meaning rather than just file names.
Answers with references: Albus answers questions using the user's library and points to the relevant pages and sections, and explains why each result relates to the query.
Multi-modal processing: The Pro plan supports up to 1,000 files versus 10 on the free tier, with access to advanced models from OpenAI GPT, Gemini Pro, and Claude Sonnet.
Image and audio generation: Pro includes 200 image generations via Google Imagen, DALL-E, and Flux, plus audio narration including life-like ElevenLabs voices (with minute limits).
Mobile voice assistant: Albus offers a mobile app with voice interaction in 32 languages and access to live web sources.
Document Q&A: Users can upload .pdf, .txt, and .docx documents, enable insights, and ask questions directly about them (up to 10,000 characters and 30 MB per file).

Who It's For

Typical uses include building a searchable company knowledge base, asking questions across a library of reports and PDFs, studying complex topics with AI-generated breakdowns, and capturing ideas on the go through the mobile voice assistant. It is a practical fit for anyone whose work depends on retrieving precise answers from their own files rather than from the open web.
