Audit-ready cloud document management for small teams
Tag documents with what you actually look for — supplier, amount, project, due date — and find anything in seconds, years later.
Designed around German GoBD record-keeping rules so originals stay unaltered and verifiable when an auditor asks.
Every revision is preserved with a checksum, and who uploaded, changed or deleted a document is recorded and cannot be edited afterwards.
Set retention periods once; documents stay protected for the required term and expire automatically afterwards.

The AI workspace where teams and agents get work done together
Combine docs, wikis, projects, and databases into one structured system of record that stays linked as your content grows.
Draft, summarize, translate, and answer questions inline, or build custom agents that automate recurring workflows around the clock.
Find answers instantly across Notion and connected apps, with citations so you can verify where each answer came from.
Use relations, rollups, views, and a large template gallery to model anything from a CRM to a content calendar.
