Patrivox

Patrivox is a sovereign European SaaS platform that transforms static archives into dynamic, intelligent knowledge bases. Designed for heritage institutions, municipal archives, historical societies, and similar organizations, it solves the critical problem of inaccessible information trapped in scanned documents. Users simply upload their PDF collections, and the platform's AI, powered by Mistral, automatically performs next-generation OCR, extracts text, and identifies key entities like people, places, and organizations. The core value proposition lies in its ability to not only make every word searchable in seconds but to intelligently connect these entities in an interactive knowledge graph, revealing hidden historical relationships. This turns hours of manual searching into instantaneous discovery, enabling research, enhancing public access, and preserving cultural heritage with cutting-edge, GDPR-compliant technology hosted entirely in Europe.

Automation & AI-Powered Processing

Simply drag and drop hundreds of PDFs for batch import. Within minutes, Mistral AI performs advanced OCR to extract every word and automatically identifies and classifies key entities (Named Entity Recognition) such as names, locations, and dates. This eliminates all manual data entry and configuration, transforming bulk archives into a structured, enriched database ready for exploration without tedious setup.

Intelligent Search & AI Chat

Find any information in less than a second with full-text search across the entire collection, featuring typo tolerance for robust results. Go beyond keywords by asking questions in plain language through the integrated AI chat. The AI provides concise answers directly sourced from your documents, complete with citations, allowing for intuitive, conversational discovery of your archive's contents.

Interactive Knowledge Graph (Constellation)

This feature visually maps the hidden connections within your archives. Every person, place, and organization identified by the AI becomes a node in an interactive graph. Navigate from node to node to discover relationships and contextual links between documents and entities that were previously invisible, offering unprecedented insights into your collection's narrative fabric.

Sovereign European Hosting & Sharing

Patrivox is built on a foundation of digital sovereignty, with all data processed and hosted 100% within Europe, ensuring full GDPR compliance natively. The platform includes robust access controls, offering unlimited reader accounts for public or team access alongside multiple administrators, making it simple to securely share your now-living archives with researchers, teams, or the public.

Municipal Archives

Digitize and showcase historical municipal records such as council deliberations, civil registers, and official correspondence. Patrivox makes these documents fully searchable, allowing citizens, historians, and officials to instantly access decades of administrative history, fostering transparency and enabling efficient historical research.

Historical Societies & Associations

Transform bulletins, yearbooks, and documentary collections from static references into explorable digital libraries. Members and researchers can effortlessly search across all publications, trace individuals and events through the knowledge graph, and unlock the collective knowledge of the society with minimal ongoing effort.

Heritage Libraries & Special Collections

Open unique and fragile special collections to a wider audience without risking the physical documents. Researchers can perform deep, semantic searches across digitized manuscripts, rare books, and archival holdings, discovering connections and content through AI chat, thereby significantly enhancing academic and public engagement.

Dioceses & Parish Archives

Preserve and index vital historical records like parish registers, ecclesiastical correspondence, and diocesan archives. Patrivox automates the indexing of names, dates, and locations, enabling genealogists and historians to trace family lineages and historical patterns in minutes rather than months, safeguarding religious heritage for future generations.

How does Patrivox ensure data privacy and sovereignty?

Patrivox is built with European sovereignty as a core principle. All data processing is performed using European AI (Mistral), and all customer data is hosted exclusively on servers located within the European Union. The platform is designed to be GDPR-native from the ground up, ensuring full compliance with Europe's strict data protection regulations.

What types of documents can I upload?

The primary supported format is PDF, which covers the vast majority of scanned archival material. You can upload documents one by one or in bulk batches of hundreds of files. There is a per-file size limit that varies by plan (e.g., 250MB or 1GB), suitable for most high-quality scanned pages.

What is included in the free trial?

The free "Découverte" plan allows you to try Patrivox with no credit card required. It includes a one-time credit for processing 100 trial pages, 200 MB of storage, and 50 AI queries per month. This provides a full-feature experience to upload a sample archive and test the search, knowledge graph, and AI chat functionalities.

How does the AI chat provide sourced answers?

When you ask a question in natural language, the AI analyzes the query and searches through the entire text content of your uploaded documents. It then synthesizes the relevant information to provide a concise answer. Crucially, every answer is accompanied by citations that link directly to the source PDF and the exact page where the supporting information was found, ensuring verifiability and trust.

Patrivox offers simple, transparent pricing with all plans including unlimited readers. You can start for free and scale as your needs grow. Plans are billed monthly or annually (with annual billing offering a discount). The Découverte plan is free for trial with 100 pages. The Starter plan is €29/month for small projects (1,000 pages).
