## What is ParancU?

ParancU helps you find evidence inside your own documents.

Import a PDF, paste text, scan a page, or use an image to create a local corpus. Then ask questions in natural language and retrieve the passages most relevant to what you are looking for.

Rather than hiding retrieval behind a generated answer, ParancU keeps the evidence visible. Results expose candidate passages, guiding questions, summaries, and source text so you can inspect why a passage was retrieved.

ParancU combines semantic and lexical retrieval, with an adjustable balance between the two. Multilingual embeddings allow questions and source documents to use different languages.

Designed around a local-first architecture, document retrieval and embeddings run on the device without requiring a remote embedding service.

KEY FEATURES

• Ask questions in natural language
• Multilingual document retrieval
• Semantic + lexical evidence ranking
• Adjustable Semantic-Lexical Ratio

ParancU evolved from the EcoSearch research prototype, exploring evidence-first retrieval: finding passages that contain useful evidence rather than relying on semantic similarity alone.
