Introduction
Blackpaper is an AI Native Work OS for African Businesses, designed for institutions where knowledge must be structured, verifiable, and traceable.
Instead of static files, Blackpaper treats documents as structured knowledge artifacts containing schema, evidence, citations, and machine-readable meaning.
Getting Started
Start by ingesting documents into the Vault. Files are parsed, cleaned, and converted into structured knowledge schemas.
Agents can then reason across these assets to produce structured outputs and live documents.
Platform Loop
Step 01
Ingest and structure evidence
Bring in documents, records, conversations, and web context into a shared operational memory.
Step 02
Run grounded retrieval and agents
Domain agents execute against RAG context with provenance, confidence, and lineage in-view.
Step 03
Ship live outputs with governance
Produce documents that recompute, surface drift, and stay review-ready as sources evolve.
Domain Agents
Domain agents execute specialized workflows against structured knowledge. Their outputs maintain evidence lineage and traceable reasoning paths.
Live Documents
Live documents recompute automatically as underlying data evolves. Citations, schema validation, and provenance remain attached to every claim.
Vault
The Vault ingests files in any format and converts them into structured schemas using OCR, parsing, and extraction pipelines.
