Context
The organization needed a way for users to find information in company documents while keeping the document environment under its own control.
Role
I worked on the AI integration and delivery. The client identity, internal documents, and environment details remain private.
Scope
Integrated a self-hosted AI assistant with Nextcloud to help users retrieve information from company documents within their own infrastructure. The project connected document access with AI-assisted knowledge retrieval while prioritizing data privacy and control.
Approach
The work connected the existing document system to an AI-assisted retrieval workflow rather than moving company documents into a public portfolio demonstration.
Evidence
The implemented workflow connected Nextcloud document access with AI-assisted retrieval. No client documents, credentials, production identifiers, or private screenshots are published here.
Limitations
This case study does not publish private configuration details, retrieval measurements, or claims about universal answer accuracy. Human review remains appropriate when retrieved information affects an important decision.
