🚀 New Feature Announcement
Paperless-AI now includes a powerful, integrated RAG-powered Chat interface!
Introducing a whole new way to interact with your Paperless-NGX archive: instead of browsing, filtering, or guessing which tags to search for — just ask.
Thanks to Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), you can now search semantically across the full content of your documents and get human-like answers instantly.
🔍 No more guessing. Just ask.
Want to know “When did I receive my electricity contract?”, “How much did I pay for the last car repair?” or “Which documents mention my health insurance?” — Paperless-AI will find it for you, even if you don’t remember the exact title, sender, or date.
💡 What does RAG bring to Paperless-NGX?
- True full-text understanding of your documents
- Context-aware responses — beyond keyword search
- Useful when dealing with large or chaotic document archives
- Saves time, avoids frustration, and unlocks insights you may have forgotten you had stored
- Blazingly fast answers backed by your own trusted data
⚠️ Important Note: If you're installing Paperless-AI for the first time, please restart the container after completing the setup routine (where you enter your API keys and preferences). This ensures that all services initialize correctly and your RAG index is built properly.
➕ This step is not required when updating an existing installation.
