On-premise AI over technical documents
Answers from your manuals and drawings, without your files leaving the building.
Most document AI reads text. Technical documentation is scans, drawings and tables, so there is no text to read — which is why the usual tools return nothing useful. I built retrieval that works on the page as an image, plus cell-level extraction for tables, running entirely on your own machine.
This is for you if
- Your technical archive is scans and PDFs nobody can search
- Your service engineers lose hours hunting part numbers in old drawings
- Your documents cannot go to a cloud service — policy, contract or common sense
What you get
- ✓ Visual-page retrieval that works on scans and drawings, not just text
- ✓ Cell-level table extraction with human review
- ✓ Legacy Office and Outlook format parsing
- ✓ Deployed on your hardware, with authentication — nothing leaves your network
- ✓ Ingestion of your existing archive, however messy
What I don't do
- — A cloud subscription — this is deliberately not that
- — Anything requiring your data to be sent to a third party
If your project needs something on this list, I'll say so on the first call and point you to someone who does it.
Proof I can do this
VesselRef is this system, built end to end: visual retrieval, local generation, legacy parsing, cell-level table extraction and a deployable authenticated web app. Built solo.

01Free project review
Free · 2 working daysSend me what you want built. You get a price range, a timeline, a technical approach and an honest market check — including whether something off the shelf already does the job.
02Intro call
Free · 30 minYou describe what you have and what you need. I tell you straight whether I'm the right person, and roughly what it costs. No deck, no pitch.
03Blueprint
€1,200 · 1 weekA fixed-price week that removes the unknowns: technical approach, what talks to what, the risks worth worrying about, and a fixed quote for the build. Yours to keep, even if you hire someone else.
04Build
Fixed price, quoted after the reviewFixed scope, fixed price, in phases you can stop between. Code lives in your repository from day one. You see something working every week.
05Care plan
Monthly, agreed up frontThe part most people skip. OS updates, store policy changes, certificate renewals, crash reports, small improvements — and one person who answers the phone when something breaks.
I won't be the cheapest quote you get. If cheapest is what you need, I'll say so on the first call rather than waste your time.
Priced in euro. I invoice as a registered sole proprietor (FOP) in Ukraine, so no VAT is added by me — an EU business client handles it as a normal non-EU supplier invoice.
Tell me what you're trying to do.
Send it over and I'll come back with a price, a plan and an honest market check — free, within two working days. Or book a call if you'd rather talk.
