Overview

About Patrivox

Imagine a treasure chest, heavy with centuries of letters, ledgers, and records, its lock rusted shut by time. For heritage institutions, municipal archives, and historical societies, this is not a metaphor but a daily reality. Patrivox is the key. It is a European-born SaaS platform that transforms this static, dusty archive into a living, breathing knowledge base. The journey begins with a simple drag and drop of your PDFs. Within minutes, Mistral AI's advanced technology reads every page, extracting not just text but understanding its meaning. It identifies the people who shaped history, the places where events unfolded, and the organizations that formed the fabric of society, weaving them into an interactive knowledge graph. This is more than digitization; it's a renaissance for your archives. Patrivox empowers you to offer instant, typo-tolerant search or answer complex questions in plain language, with AI providing sourced answers. It opens the doors of your collection to researchers, your team, and the public, turning inaccessible history into a shared, discoverable story. Your archives are not just stored; they are awakened.

About Playwriter

AI agents cannot browse the web properly. They either have no browser access, or they get a fresh Chrome with no logins, no extensions, and instant bot detection. Playwriter gives them your actual browser session instead. One Chrome extension, full automation API, everything you are already logged into. Includes accessibility snapshots (5-20KB instead of 100KB+ screenshots), a debugger with breakpoints, live code editing, network interception, and video recording. Works with any MCP client: Cursor, Claude, VS Code, and more. Open source, MIT licensed.
