- Multilingual capability – knowledge base, prompts and response behaviour maintained separately per language.
- Extensible to customer requirements – REST API, embeddable widget, custom connectors and functions.
Indexing, updating, processing – without any effort on your part
Use Cases
You Have the Content — But No One Has Time for AI
Set it up once, then everything runs automatically
The starting point: A company has a website full of valuable content, plus many PDFs – brochures, manuals, data sheets. Yet visitors only find a fraction of it through the standard search: whatever is buried deep inside a PDF remains practically invisible. And no one on the team has the time or prior knowledge to take care of an AI – let alone maintain it over the long term.
The solution with dAi Pro: Once set up, dAi Pro works fully automatically in the background: the entire website and all PDFs are read in and kept up to date on their own – new pages are detected, changed documents are reprocessed, and only what has genuinely changed. The content is prepared perfectly for the AI in the process: even images and graphics from PDFs are captured via AI text recognition, and complex tables remain comprehensible. No one has to maintain content twice or migrate it – everything stays where it is.
The result: A website on which visitors search for a long time becomes a website that answers. Prospects ask their question in their own words – and receive the right answer from your content around the clock, with a link to the source. Even for details found on page 47 of a data sheet. And the team? They simply keep maintaining the website and PDFs as before. dAi Pro takes care of the AI.
Our support is drowning – and the knowledge is locked away in file folders
Simply scan – dAi Pro handles the rest on its own
The situation: The support department can no longer keep up with the flood of inquiries – even though the answers have long been available. The knowledge exists, but it is scattered and unstructured, and a large part is even only on paper: manuals, service booklets, old correspondence. For a traditional knowledge base, all of this would first have to be painstakingly prepared by hand – there is simply no time for that.
The solution with dAi Pro: The company acquires a bulk scanner and simply scans the documents into the cloud – as pure image files, entirely without any preparatory work or text recognition. dAi Pro handles the rest: an AI agent reads out the raw data independently, recognizes the text via AI OCR, captures illustrations and sketches as well, sorts the content by topic and prepares everything for the AI – fully automatically, without anyone having to lift a finger.
The result: Decades of experiential knowledge are suddenly retrievable. Customers receive many answers immediately from the AI assistant – around the clock. And the support team? It no longer answers routine questions for the hundredth time, but instead finds the right spot in the archive itself in seconds simply by asking. This relieves the department enormously: more time for the truly tricky cases – and significantly fewer tickets in the inbox.
Customers speak ten languages – our support only two
Maintain knowledge once – answers in every customer language
The situation: A company has long been selling its products internationally – but the team can only answer inquiries in German and English. Customers from France, Poland or Spain nevertheless write in their own language. The result: laborious back-and-forth translations, long response times and prospects who drop off before a conversation even begins.
The solution with dAi Pro: The company simply continues to maintain its knowledge where it already resides – website, manuals, product information. dAi Pro turns this into an assistant that understands every customer's question and answers in their language. And because multilingualism is built into dAi Pro from the ground up, its behavior can be controlled specifically per language: custom wording, custom tone, and if needed even custom content per language version – without anyone on the team having to speak the language themselves.
The result: A French customer asks in French – and immediately receives a correct answer in French, drawn from the company's verified knowledge. The company comes across as a local provider in every market, without building a single additional support team. And your own team? It only handles the cases where it is truly needed.
Ideal for RAG and CAG Applications
For companies, public authorities and organisations that want to make their own knowledge usable through AI – without a project lasting months and without data migration
Anyone looking to build an AI solution based on their own knowledge today usually faces a development project: vector database, embeddings, grounding, rights management, cost control. With dAi Pro, this is already solved. The platform masters both proven response strategies and automatically selects the appropriate one:
- Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG). For large knowledge repositories: semantic vector search finds the relevant passages, and the language model responds exclusively from these – transparently and with source references.
- Context-Augmented Generation (CAG). For compact, clearly delimited knowledge bases: the entire knowledge is passed along as cached context – particularly fast and precise responses without the detour of a search.
- Automatic selection. A classifier decides per question which strategy applies – can be enforced manually if you want to be certain.
Many data sources, one wealth of knowledge – without migration
16 data source types, freely combinable – your original data stays in your systems
A company's knowledge rarely resides in one place. dAi Pro reads it wherever it already resides and keeps it searchable for the AI:
- Web: website indexing (sitemap and domain crawler) and individual web links
- Files: file upload (PDF, Word, PowerPoint, images, text …) and server folders/network drives
- Structured data: CSV, Excel and SQL queries against external databases
- Knowledge platforms: Confluence, Notion, SharePoint, Google Drive, Nextcloud
- Support systems: Zendesk and Freshdesk
- Communication: email mailboxes (IMAP)
- Manual: direct knowledge entry as title + text
Each source can be instantiated multiple times and configured individually. A powerful processing pipeline ensures that even demanding content becomes queryable: AI OCR for images, structure-aware table understanding (including complex PDF tables with merged cells), clean chunking and incremental updates – only what has changed is reprocessed. Crawling and synchronization run as background jobs with live status.
Controlled bridges instead of data copies: your original data stays where it is. Only what you release is indexed.
Strong Control: You Decide What the AI Knows
Document-level selection instead of a black box – and answers drawn solely from your knowledge
An AI is only as trustworthy as the control you have over it. dAi Pro makes this control a founding principle:
- Document-level activation. Each document can be individually enabled, excluded or re-indexed – you can see at any time which content is available to the AI.
- Strict grounding. The AI states no facts, figures or prices that are not in the knowledge base – and openly says when information is missing. Links in answers are technically validated against pages that actually exist.
- Off-topic protection. Questions outside the subject matter are politely declined; the threshold can be adjusted per collection.
- Prompt injection protection. Attempts to reprogram the assistant or extract internal instructions come to nothing.
- Query log. Which questions were asked, what was answered, which strategy and sources were used – the basis for continuous improvement.
- Costs in euros. Every AI call is logged and, using the stored model prices, reported in euros on a daily basis – per collection, per day, exportable.
One user interface with many possibilities
Everything in one place: maintain the knowledge base, test the chat live, keep rights and costs under control
dAi Pro comes with its own administration interface in which specialist departments can work without developers:
- Collections (tenants). Any number of separate knowledge collections in a single installation – each collection with its own sources, its own language model, its own rights and languages.
- Test the chat live. Try out every change immediately – with a strategy switch (Auto / RAG / CAG) and language selection directly in the interface.
- LLM configurations. Manage Mistral, OpenAI and Anthropic centrally as named configurations – chat and embedding models freely combinable per collection, with your own API keys.
- Users & groups. Who may view which collections, and use which providers, tools and data source types? Rights are assigned via groups – just as you know it from professional systems.
- Usage & costs. Daily overview of all AI calls in euros, converted using current daily ECB rates – including Excel and CSV export.
- Fine-tuning without model training. System prompts, help texts and example dialogues (few-shot) per collection and language – so the assistant sounds like your company.
Works autonomously — yet remains fully under your control
dAi Pro handles everything on its own. And you can view, verify and correct every result.
Most AI projects don't fail at the start, but at maintenance: content changes, and the AI becomes outdated. That is why dAi Pro is designed for autonomous operation – everything recurring runs as a background job, entirely without manual intervention:
- Automatic indexing. Websites, files and connected sources are read in on a schedule – new content appears in the knowledge base on its own.
- Intelligent updates. dAi Pro detects what has changed and reprocesses only that.
- Autonomous processing. An AI agent makes even difficult content queryable: text recognition for scans and images, table comprehension, clean sorting by topic.
- Automatic answer strategy. For each question, dAi Pro decides on its own whether RAG or CAG delivers the better answer.
Autonomous does not mean a black box here – quite the opposite. Everything dAi Pro handles automatically is laid open before you:
- Every result viewable. For each document, you see what dAi Pro read from it – page by page, in plain text.
- Every result correctable. Extracted content can be edited, supplemented or reprocessed directly in the editor – your correction counts.
- Document-level release. Activate or exclude each document individually; you decide at any time what the AI knows.
- Full transparency in operation. Every job runs with live status, errors are reported rather than swallowed; the query log shows what was asked and answered.
In short: You decide how much you leave to dAi Pro – from autopilot to manual work. Most of the time, you will simply be watching.
Multilingual from the ground up
An assistant that responds in your customers' language
In dAi Pro, multilingual capability is not a retrofit but part of the architecture:
- Multilingual collections. The knowledge base, system prompts, help texts and response behaviour are maintained separately per language (e.g. German + English) – with a clean fallback.
- Automatic response language. The assistant responds in the language of the question; language-aware full-text stemmers ensure accurate search in every language.
- Document translation. Content can be translated into additional languages via a language model and indexed as its own language version – directly from the interface.
Extendable according to your requirements
Open to Your Systems — and to Requirements Yet to Come
dAi Pro is a platform, not a closed product. Whatever is still missing today, we will build in for you:
- REST API with OpenAPI specification. The token-authenticated management API controls everything — collections, data sources, documents, chat, users, configurations. Ideal for your own frontends, apps and automations.
- Embeddable widget. Chat widget for any website — a single script tag, CSP-safe, without external CDNs. Public chat and search endpoints with real-time streaming for headless scenarios.
- External functions (tools). The assistant can trigger defined actions — for example, retrieving data from a third-party system — with permission control over which tools a collection may use.
- Specialist routing. Questions on specialized topics are automatically handed over to a suitable subject-matter collection and returned as soon as the topic changes.
- Custom connectors. Your specialized application, your industry system, your data format: we develop tailor-made data sources and extensions — all from a single source, by the makers of the platform.
Two products, one core: dAi Pro-TYPO3 and dAi Pro-Web
| ai-connect | dAi Pro | |
| Form | TYPO3 extension | Standalone web application |
| Target environment | TYPO3 websites | Any website, intranet, portal – CMS-independent |
| Management | TYPO3 backend module | Dedicated administration interface with login |
| Integration | Content element & page chat with one click | Embeddable chat widget, REST API |
| License | Open Source (GPL) with support contract | Proprietary (EULA) with service package |
Do you run TYPO3? Then dAi Pro-TYPO3 is the shortest path: chat and intelligent search as a content element, directly within the familiar backend. For all other environments – or when AI features are needed across several systems at once – dAi Pro-Web is the right choice. Technically, standard web hosting with its own database is sufficient (PHP, PostgreSQL with pgvector) – no special infrastructure required, and fully on-premises if desired.
GDPR-compliant – European first
By default, dAi Pro relies on European language models (Mistral, EU hosting) – without any US Cloud Act risk. Only the passages required for each response are sent to the AI providers, never the entire knowledge base. Your data remains on your server, and the usage log makes every AI call traceable.

Questions and Answers
- What is dAi Pro?
dAi Pro is the AI platform by Dreistein: it reads your knowledge from up to 16 data source types and makes it usable as an intelligent search, chat assistant or via a REST API – with answers drawn exclusively from your own content. dAi Pro is available as a standalone web application and as a TYPO3 extension (ai-connect); both share the same functional core.
- What is the difference between RAG and CAG?
With RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation), a semantic vector search finds the relevant passages from your knowledge base for each question; the language model answers solely from those. With CAG (Context-Augmented Generation), a compact body of knowledge is passed in its entirety as cached context – this is especially fast and precise. dAi Pro masters both strategies and automatically selects the appropriate one for each question; you can nevertheless force it manually.
- Which data sources can dAi Pro connect to?
16 data source types, freely combinable: websites (sitemaps, domains, individual URLs), file uploads (PDF, Office, text, images), server folders, CSV and Excel files, SQL database queries, Confluence, Notion, SharePoint, Google Drive, Nextcloud, Zendesk, Freshdesk, email inboxes (IMAP), as well as direct knowledge input. Missing a source? We develop custom connectors as needed.
- Do I need TYPO3 to use dAi Pro?
No. dAi Pro is a standalone web application with its own administration interface, an embeddable chat widget and a REST API – it works with any website, any intranet and any specialist application. For TYPO3 websites, ai-connect additionally provides seamless integration as an extension directly within the CMS.
- Is dAi Pro GDPR-compliant?
Yes – and even more rigorously than merely being “hosted in the EU”: By default, European language models (Mistral, EU hosting) operate without any US Cloud Act risk; alternatively, you can choose OpenAI or Anthropic per collection yourself. Your original data remains in your systems, only the passages required for the answer are sent to the AI provider, and every call is logged. On request, dAi Pro runs entirely on-premises.
- Can dAi Pro be adapted to our requirements?
Yes – that is the core of the offering. dAi Pro can be integrated into your systems via the REST API and external functions (tools); as the manufacturer of the platform, we develop custom connectors, workflows and interfaces directly for you – without any detour through third parties.
- What does using dAi Pro cost?
That depends on the scope and use case – from a single website search to a multi-tenant knowledge platform. You always keep an eye on the ongoing AI costs: every request is reported in euros on a daily basis. In a free initial consultation, we clarify honestly whether and how dAi Pro pays off for your project.
