"Not documented" means the vendor's own pages say nothing either way, so we do not claim "No".

Decide once. Every answer follows.

When two documents give different answers, SoundMind shows you both. Someone on your team picks the right one, and from then on every answer your AI apps get through SoundMind uses it. Your documents are not edited.

Meaning, not only words.

SoundMind compares what your documents mean, not only the words they use. So it catches "14 days" in your English terms and "21 ngày" in your Vietnamese FAQ as two answers to one question.

Security and honesty first.

SoundMind only reads: it never edits your documents. We don't train general-purpose AI models on them. Answers follow each person's access. When nothing in your documents covers a question, SoundMind says so instead of guessing. What we don't have yet: single sign-on and a security certification.
