Question 1

What is a semantic file system?

A semantic file system organizes and searches files based on their meaning and content rather than just file names or folder structures. It uses AI to understand what's inside your files, making them searchable by concepts and context.

Vaultarica provides deep AI analysis for 100+ file types including documents (PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint), images (JPEG, PNG, RAW), audio files (MP3, WAV), video files (MP4, AVI), code files, and many specialized formats. Additional formats are supported with basic indexing.

Question 5

How long does it take to index my files?
