Features
Everything your documents need.
Nothing they don't.
Upload any document
PDFs, Word files, web pages, plain text. Dewey converts them to clean, searchable content automatically. No preprocessing or pipelines to maintain.
Ask questions, get cited answers
Ask a plain-language question and get an answer drawn directly from your documents. Every response links back to the exact section it came from. No hallucinations, no guessing.
Choose your depth
A quick lookup or a thorough multi-document research session, all from the same endpoint. Four depth levels let you balance speed against thoroughness — deep and exhaustive require Pro and a BYOK key.
Works with Claude and Cursor
The Dewey MCP server puts your document collections directly inside Claude, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible AI assistant. Your knowledge base, wherever you already work.
Structure preserved, not flattened
Dewey parses the actual heading hierarchy of every document — sections are first-class API objects, not anonymous text fragments. Query at the chunk, section, or document level and get citations by section name with exact character offsets.
Your models, your bill
On Pro and above, bring your own OpenAI key and Dewey uses it across all research depths — including AI image captioning, which makes figures and diagrams searchable alongside your text. No markup on generation, ever.
How it works
From documents to answers in three steps.
Add your documents
Create a collection and upload your files: PDFs, Word docs, web pages, plain text. Dewey accepts what you have. No conversion or preprocessing on your end.
Dewey does the rest
Every document is automatically converted, structured, and indexed for both keyword and semantic search. Live status events keep your app in sync as each file moves through the pipeline.
Search, ask, and integrate
Search across your corpus, ask questions and get cited answers, or plug your collections into Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor via the MCP server. All from the same API.
