Where we are going

The product's direction, in the open.

The themes we are building, in the order we are building them. What sits under Now is a commitment; the rest is direction.

Delivered

What has shipped, month by month, since the idea in March 2024. Facts, not forecasts.

Delivered

The starting point

A study begins: turn CaptureDOC, a document capture and management product, into a document governance platform with process control, compliance and AI at its core.

  • From capturing and filing to governing the document: who delivers what, when, and with which evidence
  • Processes and compliance as part of the product, not a module bolted on
  • AI in the design from day one, to read, classify and answer about the documents

Delivered

Foundations

The platform is born modular and multi-tenant, with identity, audit trail, reliable events and observability from the first day.

  • One organisation per tenant, with its data isolated
  • Authentication, users, groups, sessions and permissions
  • An audit trail and reliable events between modules
  • Cloud infrastructure described as code

Delivered

First working screens

The application gains the screens where the work happens: a kanban board, documents, smart checklists and the first dossier.

  • Kanban board with drag and drop
  • File management with preview
  • Smart checklists and step-by-step forms
  • The first dossier, created from a dialog

Delivered

Processes with a form engine and AI

Processes are now designed by the customer, with dynamic forms, automatic state transitions and the first language model reading the documents.

  • Dynamic forms and templates per process
  • Automatic state transitions, monitored in the background
  • The first language model extracting structured information from documents
  • Approvers, attachments and checklists validated on submission

Delivered

The governed dossier

Each process prescribes the documents a dossier must hold; the product gets its cloud environment and its official model of roles.

  • Documents prescribed per process, each with its own status: missing, delivered, validated, expired
  • Collection fields at three levels: process, document and attachment
  • The official model of roles and permissions
  • A first Azure environment, with continuous delivery

Delivered

Collection per employee and quality check

Documents are now collected from specific people, and a quality check validates what the AI produced before a dossier closes.

  • One document per employee, with eligibility and leaving dates
  • Quality check per process, with its own permission
  • PDF, Office and image preview inside the dossier
  • Dedicated document AI infrastructure and one assistant per area

Delivered

Document intake, audit trail and a public face

Documents arrive through a review queue, the audit trail tells the whole story, and the product gets its public site, blog and roadmap.

  • Document intake with a review queue and visible limits
  • Alerts for expiring documents, renewed from the list
  • External sharing of a dossier, to view and fill without an account
  • An audit trail correlated end to end, with retention
  • The public site, with a blog and this roadmap

Delivered

Processes that act

A process can call outside systems in sequence, guide a person through a dossier in conversation, and take additions while it runs.

  • Chained calls to outside systems, where one answer feeds the next request, with the request and the response filed in the dossier
  • A guided conversation in Genius that fills in a dossier one step at a time and checks the answers
  • Additions to a dossier in progress, without changing its process
  • Cycle time per process, by stage

Delivered

Open Platform — AI agents

DOK Genius became a surface agents can work through — Claude, ChatGPT and others, on a person's behalf and never with more than that person may do.

  • DOK Genius MCP: an agent finds dossiers, reads their documents, opens a draft and adds files for the person who connected it
  • Each organisation decides: agents off by default, the agents it allows and the highest confidentiality they read
  • A consent screen before any access, and connections a person can see and end at once
  • Every act through an agent recorded in the person's name, with the agent beside it
  • A public manual and technical reference for connecting Claude and ChatGPT

Delivered

Smarter intake and evidence

Documents arrive from the organisation's own mailbox, Genius checks them as they land, and a dossier can leave as auditable evidence.

  • The organisation's mailbox connected to document intake, through Microsoft 365 or IMAP
  • Field rules and calculated fields written in plain language, checked by Genius
  • Genius reads a file when it arrives and flags what does not match before anyone reviews it
  • Document renewal campaigns: requests, deliveries and reminders for the documents about to expire
  • Compliance evidence pack, and a confidentiality level per document

Delivered

Enterprise identity and access

Sign in with the identity your organisation already uses, and decide who may do what, where and until when.

  • Microsoft Entra ID SSO per organisation, two-step verification, and SCIM 2.0 provisioning of users and groups
  • Roles each organisation defines for itself, from ready-made templates
  • Access granted per unit, process or area, with an end date when needed, and dynamic groups by rule
  • Temporary delegation and guest accounts
  • Platform support enters only at the customer's request, read-only by default, and is recorded

The plan is revised as it goes. Nothing here is available before it is announced as delivered.

Now

Being built.

Document Workspace

Open, read and annotate any document without leaving the dossier — and decide who may only look.

  • PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, CAD drawings and iPhone photos in one viewer
  • Protected viewing: pages watermarked with the reader's name, without handing over the file
  • Annotations saved as a new version, with the original untouched
  • Download, print and export controlled by each organisation, with a watermark
  • Approval stamps recorded against the exact version

Everything a developer needs to build on DOK Genius without asking us first.

Direction settled; the detail lands closer to the time.
