How it works
From scattered files to living memory
01Ingest
Ingest your data
One API call. Text and markdown in; other formats convert during onboarding.
02Chunk
Split into passages
Sentence-level passages that keep their exact bytes. No schema, no tagging.
03Connect
Build the graph
Passages link by meaning. Search in ~22 ms, about half a second end-to-end.

Your documents get a history
Every graph comes with versioning. Ask any version, get its exact answer.
Update or delete documents freely. Old versions keep answering exactly as they did.

Linking
TGM cross-links every document set you give it, contracts, policies, research, reports, into one knowledge graph, so related passages surface together and every one still names its source.

INGEST
Nothing is silently dropped
Every file gets a receipt: ingested, or skipped with the reason. Retries are designed to avoid duplicate ingestion.

NOT COVERED
An answer, or an honest no
Your code gets grounded passages, or not_covered: true. Your application handles the coverage result separately from API errors.
What is the termination notice period?
msa.md · “notice period is thirty days”
msa.md · “cure period is fifteen days”
not_covered: false · source named on every passage
RETRIEVE
Every quote names its source
Passages come back word for word from your documents, with the file each one came from.

What TGM provides
Original passages
TGM returns passages from your documents with a source identifier. Source fidelity is separate from whether a passage fully answers a question.
Coverage signal
Responses include not_covered so your application can handle questions without returned evidence. Evaluation results are documented below.
Versioned retrieval
Query a saved graph version to inspect the passages returned from that version of your documents.
No generative LLM in the retrieval engine
The documented engine connects passages using embeddings. Your application can use the retrieved context with a language model.
RAG and GraphRAG capabilities depend on the implementation. We have not published a head-to-head evaluation here. Read the TGM evaluation.
Pilot access
Start with your retrieval problem.
Use the 30-minute call to discuss your documents, the questions your application needs to answer, and whether a pilot is a fit. Booking requests require confirmation.
Discuss the use case
Bring a description of the documents and a few representative questions. You do not need to upload documents to book.
Agree on a pilot
Confirm scope, access, pricing, and how results will be evaluated before proceeding.
Get onboarded
Your account and API key are set up during onboarding. Then connect the SDK and evaluate on your agreed document set.
Developers building AI applications that need document passages with source identifiers and version history. The current onboarding flow is a concierge pilot.
Does TGM generate a final answer?
The retrieval engine returns original passages. Your application decides how to present them or use them with a language model. A downstream generated answer needs its own evaluation.
Which file types can I use?
The documented ingestion flow accepts plain text and Markdown. Other formats, including PDF, are converted with you during onboarding.
Can I start immediately after installing the SDK?
You need a pilot account and API key first. Book a call to discuss fit and onboarding. Installing the package alone does not grant API access.
What happens while I update documents?
Queries pause while a graph change indexes. The pause depends on the size of the change. Saved versions remain part of the graph history.
What does 94.4% mean?
152 of 161 answered questions were graded excellent in the documented evaluation. It does not describe coverage of every authored question or guarantee results on your documents.
For data-handling terms, read the privacy policy and terms of service. Confirm requirements for your documents during the pilot discussion.
