Frequently Asked Questions

What is an AI assistant for document collaboration?
An AI assistant for document collaboration helps users work with business files more efficiently. It uses AI to analyze documents, understand the information within them, summarize files, extract key details, generate drafts, and answer questions using the organization's content. Egnyte AI Assistant works directly within Egnyte's environment, using Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) to provide accurate responses grounded in authorized files without leaving your workflow.
How is Egnyte's AI Assistant different from general search tools?
Traditional search engines only match keywords to return a list of files. Egnyte’s AI Assistant goes beyond keyword search by synthesizing information across files, provides cited answers, extracts specific data fields, and generates formatted deliverables based on user prompts in a governed environment.
How does Egnyte's AI Assistant handle permissions and access control?
Egnyte’s AI Assistant inherits your organization’s underlying folder permissions and AI Safeguards policies. It will only analyze and surface content from files the requesting user is explicitly authorized to view, ensuring sensitive data is never exposed to unpermitted team members.
How is Egnyte's AI Assistant different from Microsoft Copilot?
While Microsoft Copilot is designed broadly across Microsoft 365 and Graph data, Egnyte’s AI Assistant is purpose-built to work with business content stored and managed in Egnyte. It provides deep multimodal parsing for industry-specific files such as CAD drawings, BIM models, and scanned PDFs, along with built-in AI Safeguards to govern access to sensitive content. Egnyte also integrates with Microsoft Copilot, allowing users to access Egnyte content through their preferred AI experience.
What types of files and tasks can Egnyte's AI Assistant support?
AI Assistant supports standard business documents (PDFs, Word, Excel, PowerPoint), scanned images, audio/video files, and industry formats like CAD drawings. Tasks include summarizing dense files, parsing contract terms, analyzing financial tables, and automatically generating fully formatted .doc or .pdf deliverables saved directly into target folders.
Does Egnyte use customer data to train its AI models?
No. Egnyte maintains strict enterprise privacy boundaries. Your business files, metadata, and user prompt interactions are never used to train public LLMs or third-party AI models.
What AI models does Egnyte use?
Egnyte provides multi-model flexibility so you can select the best LLM engine for your specific task. Users can switch seamlessly between models, including OpenAI ChatGPT, Anthropic Claude (Sonnet), and Google Gemini, directly within the AI Assistant conversation window.
