Real Stories

What can SmartSearch be used for?

Our team has worked as technical consultants for years. Below are tasks we handled ourselves using SmartSearch — showing exactly where it saves time and removes friction.

Small Real Estate Business

Understanding Utilities Costs

The Challenge

A small real estate firm operating multiple buildings needed to renegotiate utility contracts. To do so, they had to know the exact KWH consumption and cost per property per month.

That information was buried across hundreds of invoices — each one mixing electricity, water, and waste charges from the same supplier. Reading every invoice manually was the only option they had.

How SmartSearch Helped

We uploaded their invoices to SmartSearch and asked a single question. It returned a complete table: address, month, consumption in KWH, and cost per row.

Every row included a one-click citation. We verified each figure against the source document. The client used the data to renegotiate their utilities — saving thousands in just a few minutes.

The Question Asked

"What is the KWH consumption and cost per building for each month in 2025?"

Construction

Managing Project Files on a Remodelling Site

The Challenge

A construction company's remodelling project had thousands of files — design documents, environmental policies, meeting notes, signed agreements, and appendices.

Workers on site would hit questions mid-job. Had the customer approved solar panels? Which socket type was specified if they wanted panels? A project manager had to search manually while work stalled.

How SmartSearch Helped

We dropped the project folder into SmartSearch. The solar panel question was answered in seconds, with citations from both the relevant meeting notes and the signed agreement.

A follow-up question about socket specifications found the answer in Appendix 4 of the Project Description in seconds. The coffee break was cut short and work resumed. No more waiting for answers.

The Question Asked

"Has the customer agreed to install solar panels, and which model and socket type were specified?"

Students & Research

Finding the Answer in Course Literature

The Challenge

As a business major, I routinely had to cross-reference 5–15 scientific journals to support my papers. Some journals ran to 100 pages.

For one paper on the Diffusion of Innovation, I spent hours searching for the specific paragraph covering recommended approaches for converting early majority adopters. The answer was somewhere in the pile — I just couldn't find it quickly.

How SmartSearch Helped

I uploaded the same journals to SmartSearch and asked the question directly. The answer appeared in seconds, with a citation pointing to the exact page in a 78-page journal.

Now I use SmartSearch whenever I need to locate specific facts in course literature. The time I used to spend flipping through pages I can now spend on the actual work.

The Question Asked

"What are the recommended approaches for converting the early majority adopters according to the Diffusion of Innovation model?"
