Hi everyone, I'm Olivier, and today I'm launching Tamis. I built it on my own, from Brittany in France. Some background: I did a PhD in data mining, then worked as a software engineer. For the past two years I've been freelancing on projects full of documents, and I kept meeting people stuck with the same job. A researcher with 3,000 abstracts to screen for a review. A drug safety team checking every new paper about their product. A lawyer going through 80 contracts before an acquisition. They all read everything, sometimes twice, because missing one document is the real risk. So Tamis doesn't decide for you. You describe what you're looking for in plain words. It reads every document, puts the likely ones on top and shows you the sentence behind its answer. You go through them and it learns from what you keep. When you think you're done, it draws a random sample from what you haven't read and you check it blind. That gives you an actual number for what you might still be missing. On a public systematic review of 3,425 records, reading 1,901 in this order was enough to find at least 99% of the included studies. On 80 public contracts, Tamis pointed to the exact clause sentence 96% of the time. You can try it without an account: the sandbox has three sample projects. If you like it, the code PRODUCTHUNT gives you 50% off Pro for your first 3 months. I'd love to hear from people who do this kind of screening for a living: what would make you trust a tool like this, or not?

I built Tamis because I was tired of missing important details in long documents

Hey! I m the maker of Tamis!

I built it because I often had to go through very long PDFs and documents to find a few important pieces of information during my thesis or in my day jobs :D

Tamis is more about screening documents systematically than being a classic chat with your PDF or RAG tool: you define what you want to check, it goes through the documents, and it shows you what it found, with the corresponding references so you can verify everything yourself in a few seconds across thousands of documents.

I m especially interested in making this reliable enough for real, everyday professional use. The project is tailored to a few specific use cases, but it can still be used in a more generic way.
