The problem
Windows file search is not enough when you need one specific passage.
Many people have folders full of PDFs, Word documents, reports, notes, contracts, manuals, and archived files. Finding the exact sentence you remember can become slow and frustrating.
Citrus AI is designed for that moment: when you do not just want to open one file, but search across many documents and understand where the answer came from.
What Citrus AI does
Search, ask, and verify from one local workspace.
Find matching passages
See relevant excerpts instead of manually opening every document.
Ask questions
Use local AI assistance to ask questions about your documents.
Check source references
Answers are connected back to the files and passages they came from.
