The $44 billion document problem, solved
Why enterprises choose gscSpectra
What traditional IDP and US cloud AI cannot deliver.
Precision citation system
Most document AI gives vague references like 'from document X.' gscSpectra tracks bounding box coordinates for every extracted element. Legal teams reduce contract review time by 60% because they verify AI insights instantly against source documents.
True European sovereignty
Not 'EU region' on a US cloud—actual European infrastructure with no US parent company. No data transfer to non-EU entities. No compelled disclosure under foreign laws. GDPR-native architecture, not retrofit compliance.
Enterprise multi-tenancy
Complete logical isolation built into the core, not bolted on as an afterthought. Project organization, role-based access, and audit trails included. Handle multiple customers or departments on one platform securely.
Open architecture
Built on PostgreSQL with pgvector—no proprietary vector database. S3-compatible storage works with any provider. Standard OAuth 2.0/OIDC authentication. If you leave, your data exports cleanly. We don't hold documents hostage.
Complete document intelligence pipeline
Universal ingestion
Upload through UI or API. Automatic format detection handles PDF, Office, and CSV. Tenant-isolated project workspaces from day one.
IBM Docling extraction
Industry-leading PDF extraction preserves headings, sections, and document structure. Layout-aware parsing outperforms generic text extraction.
Structured table output
Tables extracted as JSON with headers and row relationships intact—not flattened text. Query tabular data accurately.
Millisecond vector search
1536-dimensional embeddings with pgvector HNSW indexing. Sub-100ms semantic search across millions of document chunks.
AI provider flexibility
Use OpenAI, Anthropic, or self-hosted models through GSC AI Hub. Switch providers without re-architecting. Control costs and compliance.
Conversational interface
AI-driven GenUI generates dynamic components based on your questions. Not a chatbot—an intelligent document analyst.
Interactive document viewer
Click any citation to jump to the exact source location with visual highlighting. Verify AI answers in seconds, not minutes.
Verifiable source attribution
Every AI response includes page numbers and bounding boxes. Audit-ready evidence for compliance teams. Trust but verify.
gscSpectra vs. alternatives
Traditional IDP extracts documents but requires separate RAG infrastructure. US cloud AI compromises sovereignty. RAG frameworks need months of engineering.

From document chaos to insight
Four steps to unlock knowledge trapped in your documents.
Ingest
Upload documents through the web interface or REST API. Automatic format detection queues processing immediately.
Extract
IBM Docling extracts text, tables, and structure while preserving layout. Bounding boxes captured for every element.
Enrich
1536-dimensional vector embeddings enable semantic understanding. Find answers by meaning, not just keywords.
Query
Ask questions in natural language. Get AI-generated answers with page-level citations you can verify instantly.
Proven ROI across industries
Document intelligence for teams drowning in unstructured data.
Legal & Compliance
Review 500+ contracts annually? Reduce review time from 4 hours to 30 minutes per contract. Ask 'Which contracts have auto-renewal clauses with 60+ day notice?' and get cited answers. $350K+ annual savings for enterprise legal teams.
Financial Services
Accelerate M&A due diligence by 40%. Ingest entire data rooms, extract financial metrics across years of statements, cross-reference findings with source documents. Generate investment summaries with verifiable citations.
Research & Development
Preserve institutional knowledge when experts retire. Make decades of technical documentation searchable. Onboard new team members 50% faster with AI-assisted knowledge discovery across research papers and internal docs.
Healthcare & Life Sciences
Process clinical trial documentation at scale. Extract endpoints and outcomes across protocols. Compare document versions semantically. Support regulatory submissions with audit-ready cited evidence.
Security that compliance teams approve
European data residency with enterprise-grade protection.
Sovereign European infrastructure
Documents hosted in Helsinki, Nuremberg and Falkenstein—not 'EU region' on AWS or Azure. No US parent company means no Cloud Act exposure. Your data stays under EU jurisdiction, period.
Defense in depth
TLS 1.3 encrypts data in transit. AES-256 encrypts data at rest. Istio mTLS secures service-to-service communication. Infisical manages secrets—no credentials in code or config.
Enterprise identity integration
Keycloak OIDC with MFA enforced. SAML 2.0 for legacy IdPs. Role-based access control with complete tenant isolation. Structured audit logs for SIEM integration.
Production-ready architecture
By the numbers
Stop searching. Start finding.
See gscSpectra transform your documents into queryable knowledge. European hosting, precision citations, no lock-in. Production-ready in days, not months.
