Selectric

Secure Internal search for high performance teams

Freemium

Description

Selectric is an AI-driven search solution that empowers teams to efficiently locate critical information scattered across their digital workspaces, including emails, documents, and messaging platforms. It operates by creating a secure, personal index of data directly on the user's macOS computer, ensuring that all searches are performed locally. This design prioritizes complete data privacy, meaning sensitive information never leaves the user's infrastructure and is not used for external AI model training.

Beyond fast and secure information retrieval, Selectric enhances productivity with features like AI-generated email replies based on the user's own context. It seamlessly integrates with popular platforms such as Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Slack, and various cloud storage services. The tool is engineered for easy setup, aiming to save users significant time by eliminating information silos and providing instant access to relevant data for fast-moving teams.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Selectric?

Selectric is an AI-powered personal search tool to help you find information quickly across all your emails, documents and messages. You can search across all your mail accounts, documents and messages in seconds, from inside any app on your computer.

How can Selectric help even if I'm organized?

Both you and your colleagues at work are constantly updating documents, changing processes and creating new artifacts. As teams grow, it gets harder to keep track of all this changing info. Selectric is designed for fast moving, high performance teams which generate a lot of written artifacts. It's constantly watching your mail, shared cloud drives and Slack channels for fresh information and instantly indexes it for easy access when you need it. With Selectric, you're not wasting time following up with colleagues or losing flow state while you're at work.

How does Selectric ensure my data privacy?

Selectric indexes and stores all your data entirely on your local computer. All searches happen locally on your device. If you use our cloud AI models for summaries, your data is never stored and is discarded immediately. Privacy is a core value for us and we would ourselves never use a service which collects personal data. We do not have access to any of your data, search history, results or clicks. We do not use your data to train or finetune AI models or serve advertising.
