We bring light to the documents AI can't read.
Tables, figures, equations, scanned pages. the most valuable content in your corpus is invisible to ordinary AI search. PHOROS makes all of it legible, reasoned over, and cited with certainty. Powered by COB‑2.
Most AI search is reading half your documents.
Conventional retrieval treats a document as a wall of text. So the moment real value lives inside a table, a chart, a diagram, or an equation, the system goes blind, then answers you with total confidence anyway. That confident blindness is where hallucinations are born.
Tables become noise
Rows, columns, sub-totals and totals collapse into a soup of numbers with no structure left to query.
Figures & charts vanish
The trend line that decides the answer is, to ordinary AI search, an opaque picture it can neither describe nor find.
Equations turn to gibberish
Mathematical meaning is lost to mangled OCR, so technical corpora answer questions wrong at the worst moments.
No idea where it found it
Without trustworthy, page-exact citations, every answer is a leap of faith you can't audit.
COB‑2 is the engine behind every answer. The moment you upload a document, it makes everything on the page searchable: the tables, the charts, the fine print in the scans. Not just the text.
Total ingestion
Every image, table, equation, chart and scan is read and rewritten as faithful, searchable language. If it was on the page, COB can find it and prove it.
Context travels with every fact
Every passage remembers where it came from, what it’s for, and how it connects to the rest of the document, so answers land on meaning instead of keyword luck.
Deterministic citations
Across a corpus of thousands of pages, every claim points back to the exact document and page it came from. Reliably, every time. The end of "trust me."
Surpasses every document-AI product on the market in accuracy and in the size of library it can master.
COB‑2 is the new standard.
How COB‑2 reads everything.
A document goes in opaque and comes out as queryable knowledge. Six stages turn raw pages into answers you can audit.
Ingest
You upload. Pages, scans, embedded images, all of it accepted as-is.
Translate the visuals
Tables, charts, equations and scans are rewritten as faithful, searchable language.
Map the meaning
Every passage is placed on a map of meaning, so ideas match even when the words don’t.
Gather
The most promising passages are pulled in, along with their surroundings for context.
Weigh
Every candidate is judged for true relevance. Only the best make the cut.
Answer & cite
COB commits to one answer, cited to the exact document and page.
Ten documents is a demo. A thousand is Tuesday.
Most document AI demos beautifully on five files and quietly falls apart on five hundred. The bigger the library, the vaguer the answers. PHOROS is engineered the other way around: a multi-tiered routing intelligence works out exactly where in your corpus the answer lives before a single word is written.
Locks on instantly
Name a document, even half-remembered, and the engine scopes straight to it. “The March change order” is enough.
Evidence, not guesswork
Before answering, it weighs real evidence from across your entire library. Actual content, not filenames. Then it commits to the documents that matter.
Sharp at any size
Accuracy that holds from ten documents to ten thousand. Growth in your library never means decay in your answers.
Every question runs on Deep Search.
Deep Search Mode is how PHOROS answers. It is the default, and at launch the only mode, because we believe it is the only acceptable one. An intelligent agent plans before it speaks: it sweeps your library for evidence, commits to the documents that matter, interrogates them with focused sub-questions, and refuses to settle for a near-miss. You just ask.
Doesn't take no for an answer
If a first pass comes back thin, Deep Search reframes the question and digs again automatically, before you ever see a miss.
Watch it work
Live telemetry streams as it scans, commits and reads. You watch the search happen, not a spinner.
Ask the messy question
No keywords, no prompt tricks. Ask the way you’d ask a colleague. The discipline happens underneath.
One engine. Two front doors.
COB‑2 powers both of our products. Choose the one built for your world, or talk to us about your own. Building software instead? The same engine is available as an API.
ClauseNet
Enterprise document intelligence for legal, finance, construction and manufacturing teams. Upload your library, ask in plain English, and Deep Search returns committed answers with page-exact citations you can defend.
ChatPHD
The same engine, reshaped for the classroom and the LMS. Professors turn course material into a knowledge base their students can actually ask. Cited, accurate, and ready for office hours at 2 a.m.
The COB‑2 API
One key attaches state-of-the-art document intelligence to your use case. The API is fully managed and built from multiple proprietary PHOROS tools: Chat runs COB‑2 Deep Search, and the Embeddings Database runs on COB‑Index. Three primitives in one, each state of the art, with page-exact citations in every response and low, usage-based rates. No components to tune, nothing to operate. Full documentation lives at cob.dev.
Chat · COB‑2 Deep Search
Point customer questions here. At launch, every call runs COB‑2 Deep Search; additional modes become configurable per request later. Answers arrive with citations you can render as links.
Document Storage
Point customer uploads here. Tables, charts, equations and scans become searchable knowledge automatically, with incremental updates and instant deletes. Fully managed by us.
Embeddings Database
Runs on COB‑Index, our proprietary engine: omniscient over all visible content with full multimodal and OCR support, not just text, and O(log n) query time as your corpus grows. No knobs, no tuning. We run it entirely.
POST https://api.cob.dev/v2/chat { "corpus_id": "kb_7f3a9c", "query": "What retention rate did we agree to in the master subcontract?", "deep_search": true, // launch default: COB-2 Deep Search "citations": "page_exact" }
200 application/json { "answer": "Retention is 10% of each progress payment, reduced to 5% at substantial completion.", "citations": [ { "document": "master_subcontract_2025.pdf", "page": 14 } ], "usage": { "queries": 3, "documents_scanned": 1284 } }
Sample schema for illustration. Get a key at cob.dev, wire up the two endpoints, and your product has a source of truth: document omniscience and chat, attached to your use case. Final spec ships with the docs.
The end of the confident guess.
Claims are cheap in AI, so we put COB‑2 up against FinanceBench: an open, public benchmark of real questions over real financial filings. And we grade it the hard way. Every question counts, and a blank answer counts as wrong.
Text, tables, figures, equations and scans. Nothing on the page is left unsearchable.
Deterministic citations tie every statement to an exact document and page.
From a single folder to a full archive, answers stay just as sharp as the library grows.
That's the whole idea. The knowledge inside your documents has always been there: locked in tables, buried in figures, lost in scans. We built PHOROS AI to carry light to it, so an AI can finally read every page the way the author meant it to be read.
