$ pip install docnest-ai
>>> from docnest.reader import UDFIndex
>>> idx = UDFIndex.load("report.udf")
>>> r = idx.query("What was Q3 revenue?")
>>> r.answer # "Q3 revenue was $38M, up 22% YoY."
>>> r.tokens_used 0 # answered from structure, no LLM
Answered straight from the document — no model call, no token bill.
.udf format
On-device. Always.
Most AI reads your private documents on someone else's computer, charges you to re-read them every time, and forgets it all when you close the tab.
Knowledge, understanding, agents, and models — stacked like hand-laid stones. We lead with what's live and mark the future as the future.
Turns any document into portable, structured .udf
knowledge you own.
A desktop app to chat, summarize, search, and actually learn from your knowledge.
Agentic workflows that act on your knowledge, where it lives.
Small LLMs running on-device — no cloud required.
Each one open, each one yours — with one real proof.
Structure-first knowledge engine · MCP server
Reads documents by structure, not by re-stuffing them into a prompt — so it answers from what it already understands.
Zero-token answers on 80% of factual queries, 100% accuracy, ~92% fewer tokens.
