About SmartRAG
SmartRAG is a free document assistant that lets you upload your files and ask questions about them in plain English. Instead of returning the first thing it finds, SmartRAG reviews its own search results before answering: it grades every passage it retrieves and decides whether it genuinely helps answer your question.
When the results are weak, the assistant rewrites your question into a sharper query and searches again automatically. If the answer simply isn't in your documents, it tells you so honestly rather than inventing one — and every answer it does give is shown alongside the exact passage it came from, so you can verify it in seconds.
Upload a document, ask a question, and get a sourced answer. No installation, no setup, and completely free to use.
