Introducing ManuFind: your organization's interactive memory

We built ManuFind so nothing your team produces ever gets lost. Here's what it does and why it's different.

Every organization runs on documents — contracts, drawings, reports, SOPs, spec sheets, decks. The problem isn't creating them; it's finding them again, and remembering what's inside. Knowledge ends up scattered across drives, inboxes, and the heads of whoever happened to work on it. When that person is busy — or gone — the knowledge goes with them. ManuFind fixes that.

What it is

ManuFind is an interactive memory system for your whole organization. Point it at the files you already have, and it reads, organizes and remembers all of them — so anyone on your team can find anything in seconds and get answers in plain language, with the source cited.

What you can do on day one

  • Search everything by keyword or by what a document looks like — even decades-old files and scans.
  • Ask questions and get answers grounded in your own documents, never a generic guess.
  • Generate new work — quotes, invoices, reports and SOPs drafted from the data already in your library, then saved back so they make the next draft better.
  • Bring it in from anywhere — upload directly or connect Confluence, GitHub, Google Drive, OneDrive and more.

Reads what you actually work in

PDFs, Word, Excel and PowerPoint, plain text and Markdown, and even 2D and 3D CAD drawings. Scanned paper and photos are read automatically, so the filing cabinet in the corner becomes searchable too. And these files don't just sit in storage — you can open and view any of them right in the browser, and when you don't know what a document is called, you can search with a picture of it instead.

How it works, in plain language

When a document arrives — uploaded by hand or pulled in from a connected tool — ManuFind reads it the way a careful new hire would. Scans and photos are read automatically too: ManuFind turns the picture of a page into real, searchable text. Then it works out what the document is — a quote, a drawing, an SOP — tags it, files it, and adds it to your organization's memory. From then on it's part of every search and every answer. No manual data entry, no taxonomy project, no migration weekend.

The full toolkit

ManuFinder AI is the assistant at the center of it all: ask it questions, have it compare documents against each other or against research it gathers from the web, and tell it to draft what you need next. ManuLedger turns the numbers living inside your documents into live cost and revenue lines — and regenerates quotes and invoices from them when things change, instead of making you rebuild documents by hand. ManuFind Agents take on whole jobs — assembling a report, working a follow-up — with a human approving every important step. And through the open Model Context Protocol (MCP) and a full REST API, the AI assistant or system your team already uses can plug straight into all of it.

Your library — in from anywhere, out whenever you want

The library doesn't have to be only what your company wrote. Upload documents from anywhere — your drives, your connected tools, even useful reference material from the internet — and it all becomes part of the same searchable memory. And it works in the other direction too: anything ManuFind stores or generates can be instantly downloaded for your own use. Your documents are never stuck in ManuFind.

Built for any team — and ready for the enterprise

ManuFind isn't a single-industry tool. Manufacturers, engineering and AEC firms, legal teams, and professional-services groups all run on documents, and ManuFind serves them the same way. Under the hood it's multi-tenant with row-level security, SOC 2-aligned controls, audit logging and SSO — so it's safe to put your whole library in it. And it's fully bilingual: every screen, every search and every answer works in English and Spanish.

Getting started

Most teams are searching their own documents within minutes of their first upload. Bring a handful of files and we'll show you what your organization's memory could look like. Request a demo.
