Search gives you files, not answers
You still open five PDFs and read until you find the line you need.

Sound familiar?
Your work lives in files. Finding the right answer shouldn't mean guessing.
Generic chat wasn't built for your project
It doesn't know your folder — and it can't show you which page it used.
Sensitive work needs a clear boundary
You want help with your documents without wondering where they went.
How it works
Three steps. No API key on the default Mac path.
1. Open your project folder
Use the folder you already organize for real work.
2. Let PIIE search your files
PIIE prepares your documents so answers stay tied to your sources.
3. Ask and open the source
Get a direct answer, then jump to the cited page to verify.
Built for your documents
Not a replacement for everything — a better way to work inside your own files.
Chat that isn't tied to your files

- Hard to verify
- No link to your PDFs
PIIE on your Mac
