Albus
Albus is a cloud workspace that turns business files into searchable knowledge bases, with automatic file organization, semantic search and AI answers cited to your own documents.
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.
