AI semantic search that finds documents by meaning, not keywords

Docaroo.ai uses natural language processing to understand the intent behind your search query. Instead of exact keyword matching, it surfaces documents based on conceptual relevance. This means searching for 'Q4 budget approval process' returns the correct workflow document even if the file is named 'budget_2024_v3.pdf'.

Teams reduce document retrieval time by an estimated 40%.

Automated tagging and classification without manual setup

When documents are uploaded, Docaroo.ai automatically reads the content and assigns metadata tags — project name, document type, author, date range. Users don't need to define taxonomies upfront; the system learns from usage patterns over time.

New documents are organised instantly, eliminating the 'where should I save this?' bottleneck.

Approval workflows with conditional routing

Docaroo.ai lets teams define multi-step approval chains that trigger based on document type, value, or department. For example, a procurement contract over $10K automatically routes to legal, then finance, then the COO. Each step is tracked with timestamps.

Document approval cycles become auditable and predictable.

Smart version control with visual diffing

Every edit creates a new version, but Docaroo.ai goes further by showing a side-by-side visual diff of changes. Users can see exactly what was added, removed, or modified without opening multiple files. Version history is preserved indefinitely.

Teams eliminate version confusion and can roll back changes with confidence.

Role-based access with granular permission levels

Admins can set permissions at the folder, document, or even section level. Access can be restricted to view-only, comment, edit, or full control. External sharing is available with expiration dates and password protection.

Sensitive documents stay protected while collaboration remains frictionless.

Deep integrations with Slack, Google Workspace, and Microsoft 365

Docaroo.ai connects directly to the tools teams already use. Users can save emails from Gmail as documents, attach files from Slack conversations, or sync folders from OneDrive. The AI indexes content across all connected sources.

Teams work within their existing tools while Docaroo.ai handles the organisation layer.
