AI for your firm's documents — without your clients' files ever leaving your office

The problem Firms sit on years of client documents they cannot search by meaning — and sending those files to a cloud AI creates a vendor chain they must vet and certify.

How FileFerret solves it FileFerret runs private AI search across every document, image, audio, and video on an appliance in your own office, so staff find anything in seconds and client files never leave the network.

About FileFerret

FileFerret is self-hosted AI document search and organization for professional firms — accounting and CPA practices, tax preparers, law offices, and the personal records of the families they serve. Staff ask plain-language questions and instantly find the right file across documents, scanned forms, images, audio, and video, with every answer linked back to its source. Because everything runs on the firm's own hardware, client files never leave the office: no cloud, no third-party AI. Work is organized into projects with notes and tags, so a tax return, a contract, or a household record is always one search away.

What you can do

  • Tax — find any client's return in seconds: a search for "Form 1040 refund" surfaces every filing, with the preparer's notes attached.
  • Accounting — pull a complete year-end engagement at once: financial statements, reconciliations, and workpapers from a single query.
  • Legal — catch contract risk early: surface every agreement that auto-renews and exactly what your team flagged.
  • Personal & family records — one organized picture of insurance, household documents, and estate planning.
  • Searches the words inside documents and scanned forms, the speech inside audio and video, and the files inside zip archives.
