Transparent reasoning you can trust

Unlike black-box vector RAG systems, Outerport provides reasoning for every retrieval, enriching them with context.

  • See exactly which parts of your documents were used
  • Understand the AI's step-by-step reasoning process
  • Verify sources and trace back to original documents

“Is our asset inventory management policies compliant with PCI DSS?”

Citation
“IT assets are tracked in the company portal with detailed information including make, model, serial number, purchase date, and assigned department. Hardware updates and maintenance history are recorded when performed by the IT team.”
Reasoning
This is relevant to PCI DSS compliance because it describes the current asset tracking practices, which need to be evaluated against PCI DSS requirements for device inventory management.

Citation
“Maintain an up-to-date list of devices. The list should include the following: • Make, model of device • Location of device (for example, the address of the site or facility where the device is located) • Device serial number or other method of unique identification.”
Reasoning
This is relevant because it outlines the specific PCI DSS requirements for device inventory management in section 9.9.1, which establishes the compliance standard against which our current practices should be measured.

No. Current asset inventory management tracks make, model, and serial numbers, but lacks explicit tracking of device physical locations, which is required by PCI DSS 9.9.1.

Find mappings across multiple documents

Outerport can handle tasks that don't look like traditional search, such as mapping between security frameworks and finding relevant controls.

  • Automatically map between different documents each with hundreds of pages
  • Save hundreds of hours of manual document searching

“Find mappings for portable storage device policies”

TSC
CC6.7 - “Protects Removal Media — Encryption technologies and physical asset protections are used for removable media (such as USB drives and backup tapes), as appropriate.”
FedRAMP
MP-7 - “Prohibit the use of portable storage devices in organizational systems when such devices have no identifiable owner.”

Flag compliance issues just from policies

Detecting compliance violations in sales calls requires reasoning through complex regulations and context, not just keyword matching.

  • Automatically identify regulatory violations from call transcripts
  • Provide exact citations and reasoning for each violation for review
  • Connect complex regulations to specific parts of conversations

“Find potential violations from this call transcript: [transcript]”

Citation
“Under the FCC's rules, no seller, or entity telemarketing on behalf of the seller, can initiate a telephone solicitation to a residential telephone subscriber who has registered his or her telephone number on the national Do-Not-Call registry.”
Reasoning
This quote establishes that the sales representative is violating the Do Not Call list regulations by calling Mrs. Johnson, who stated she is on the list, which is a direct violation of the FCC's rules.

Citation
“Telemarketing calls can be made only between the hours of 8 a.m. and 9 p.m. (local time at the called party's location) (47 CFR 64.1200(c)(1)).”
Reasoning
This quote provides the legal time frame for telemarketing calls, which the sales representative must adhere to, ensuring the call was made within these hours.

Easy API integration for developers.

from outerport import OuterportClient

# Initialize with your API key
client = OuterportClient(api_key="...")

# Upload a document
with open("policy.pdf", "rb") as f:
  client.documents.create(file=f)

# Find a document
docs = client.documents.search(query="Policies on information security")

# Ask a question about the document
question = client.questions.create(
    documents=docs,
    question="What restrictions exist on the use of portable storage devices?",
)

Why reasoning-based retrieval?

Beyond Vector Similarity

Vector databases force you to think in terms of nearest neighbors, making complex queries difficult or impossible to express.

Example: "Flag sections that violate compliance guidelines" can't be expressed as vector similarity.

10-20x More Efficient

Our intelligent processing makes long context reasoning dramatically more resource efficient than traditional approaches, without sacrificing quality.

Get the same powerful reasoning capabilities at a fraction of the usual cost through optimized memory management. Powered by our Engine.

Smart Document Processing

Unlike basic Q&A systems, our chain-of-memory approach builds understanding progressively, perfect for complex documents where context matters.

Automatically build comprehensive knowledge bases from your documents, no pre-existing Q&A required.

Unlimited Document Length

Process documents of any size while maintaining consistent high quality, unlike traditional LLMs that degrade with length.

From short emails to thousand-page documents, get reliable insights without quality loss.

How it works

1

Smart Reading

Like a careful reader, our AI breaks down your document into natural sections, understanding how different parts connect and flow together.

2

Chain-of-Memory

As it reads, our system builds a chain of memories, remembering important details and making connections across the entire document, just like a human would.

3

Fact Checking

Every insight is double-checked against your original document, ensuring our AI only provides information that's actually present in your text.

4

Understanding

This verified memory chain helps our AI understand your entire document as one complete story, making it possible to answer questions that require deep comprehension.
