> Describe what a file looks like and Dotient finds it. AI-powered local search.

## Company
Dotient Technologies builds local-first AI tools for personal file management. Founded 2025. One product: Dotient, a desktop search app for Windows and macOS.

## Product Summary
Dotient is a local-first desktop application that indexes your personal file archive using on-device AI (quantized ML models via ONNX Runtime). Search files by describing what they look like (visual semantic search). Runs fully offline — no cloud upload, no data leaves your machine.

**Pricing:** One-time $5 purchase. No subscription. All features included.

**Supported platforms:** Windows 10+ (64-bit, x86-64 with AVX2), macOS 13+ (Apple Silicon)

## Core Features

### Visual Search
Search using natural language. Describe what a file looks like — "beach sunset", "red car", "spiral stair section" — and Dotient finds matching files from your personal archive. Uses quantized SigLIP/CLIP-style vision-text models for embeddings.

### Signal Tuning (Lab)
Create custom semantic classifiers called "signals" by selecting positive and negative examples. Reshapes the embedding space around your personal visual vocabulary for more relevant results. Can intersect multiple signals in one query (Multi-Signal Fusion with AND semantics).

### Graph View
Force-directed WebGL graph showing similarity relationships between files. Auto-detects clusters so you can label and organize groups of visually similar files.

### Cubbies (Moodboard Collections)
Group related files into collections with freeform canvas, sticky notes, annotations, and drag-and-drop. Auto-cluster files within a Cubby by visual similarity.

### Gallery
Virtualized masonry grid with text search, color search, and filtering options.
