Selectric Product Information
Selectric is an AI-powered personal search tool that lets you find information quickly across your emails, documents, and messages from multiple accounts and apps, all with local-first privacy. It indexes your data locally on your device, enabling instant searches without leaving your environment. Designed for fast-moving, high-performance teams, Selectric aims to reduce time wasted locating information and to eliminate data leakage risks associated with cloud-based search solutions.
