Docutrix vs ChatGPT
The same questions asked to Docutrix and ChatGPT, side by side. See why grounded, source-backed answers beat plausible-sounding guesses when accuracy matters in the classroom.
The old way vs. Docutrix
Digging through a 90-page staff handbook for one policy
Ask 'What is the late submission policy?' and get the answer with a page reference.
New teachers asking colleagues the same questions all term
Ask 'What are the Year 9 biology learning objectives?' — Docutrix answers instantly.
Uncertainty about the correct safeguarding procedure
Ask 'How do I report a safeguarding concern?' — get the exact steps, cited.
Inconsistent answers to parents about school policy
Everyone asks the same question and gets the same sourced answer.
Built for schools
Answers from your own documents
Docutrix answers from the documents your school uploads — curriculum documents, schemes of work, assessment rubrics, staff handbooks, and safeguarding policies — so answers use your policies and your terminology, with citations.
Cited answers to every question
Every response links to the exact document and page number. Trust the answer, and share the source with a colleague or parent — no manual cross-referencing.
Cross-document queries
Ask a question across every document at once. 'Which policies mention mobile phone use?' — Docutrix queries the whole library and returns matches with citations.
Document access controls
Keep sensitive documents — safeguarding records, HR files, exam materials — visible only to the staff who should see them. Available on Business and Enterprise plans.
Questions school staff ask Docutrix
Each answered with a citation to the source document and page number.
How it works for schools
Upload, ask, verify. No tagging, folder taxonomy or prompt engineering required.
- 1
Upload your school's documents
Add the staff handbook, policies, curriculum documents and schemes of work as PDF or Word (.docx) files, or connect Google Drive or SharePoint on Business and Enterprise plans. Indexing usually completes within a few minutes.
- 2
Ask in everyday language
Ask the question you'd otherwise ask the colleague in the next classroom: "What does the assessment policy say about late submissions?" Docutrix searches every document at once.
- 3
Check the source
Every answer cites the document and page it came from, so you can confirm the exact wording before acting on it or sharing it with a parent. If the answer isn't in your documents, Docutrix says so.

Security for school documents
Schools hold sensitive information about pupils and staff. Here's what applies.
School documents never train AI models
Docutrix does not use your documents, queries or answers to train, fine-tune or improve AI models, on any plan. It is a contractual commitment.
Sensitive files stay restricted
On Business and Enterprise plans, admins limit document collections to specific staff. Access is enforced at query time, so restricted documents never appear in another person's answer.
Encrypted at rest and in transit
Documents, embeddings and metadata are encrypted at rest with AES-256, and all traffic uses TLS 1.2 or higher.
GDPR and data residency
Docutrix acts as a data processor under GDPR. Enterprise plans include a Data Processing Agreement and data residency options.

Frequently asked questions
Is there a special education mode?
No separate mode is needed. Docutrix answers from your school's own documents, so it uses your policies, your curriculum and your terminology, and every answer cites the document and page it came from.
How is this different from asking ChatGPT?
A general chatbot answers from what it learned on the internet. Docutrix answers only from the documents your school uploads and shows its source, so staff get your school's actual policy rather than a plausible-sounding guess.
Can new teachers use it during induction?
Yes. New staff can ask about policies, procedures and curriculum expectations in plain language and get cited answers, instead of asking colleagues the same questions all term.
Can we keep safeguarding records private?
Yes, on Business and Enterprise plans. Admins can restrict document collections to specific staff, and those restrictions are enforced every time a question is asked.
Does it work on phones and tablets?
Yes. Docutrix works in any modern mobile browser with no app to download, and you can upload PDFs and Word files from your device.
Which plan suits a school?
Pro covers 10 staff and 10,000 pages. For a whole staffroom, Business offers unlimited users (5 minimum), access controls, Google Drive and SharePoint integrations and 50,000 pages. Starter, Pro and Business each come with a 30-day free trial.
