Frequently Asked Questions
Does the agent replace our document management system?
No. The agent automates document lifecycle processes on top of your existing DMS. It generates, classifies, routes, and monitors - your storage system remains your system of record.
How does the agent handle different retention periods across jurisdictions?
Retention rules are parameterised per jurisdiction and document type. The agent selects the applicable retention period based on the employee's location and the document classification - no manual tracking required.
