About Selectric
Selectric is an AI-powered personal search tool created to enhance productivity, particularly for knowledge workers. It facilitates quick, efficient searching across all emails, documents, and messages on platforms such as Outlook, Gmail, Google Drive, Slack, and more. Selectric's algorithms are specifically tuned for common day-to-day searches and are especially effective with large inboxes and cloud drives, delivering improved results compared to default searches on many tools. Notably, Selectric prioritizes privacy and data security, indexing all user data exclusively on the local computer. Its AI models also operate locally, ensuring no data needs to leave the user's device. Therefore, Selectric does not have access to its users' data, search history, results, or clicks, and does not use user data to train AI models or serve advertising. Selectric offers integration with several everyday applications, and it is applicable for both personal use and at work, with corporate access depending on IT department configuration. Users can also reach out to Selectric for support if needed.
