# What is DABAR?

> Not RAG. Specialized Domain Intelligence for regulated industries. DABAR ingests primary sources, reasons under rules you define, and deploys autonomous agents — every finding cited, every output auditable.

**DABAR is not RAG.** It doesn't search for fragments. It ingests all your primary sources — documents, PDFs, audio, video, databases, APIs — and, under the policies your organization defines, builds **specialized domain intelligence** that reasons, not just retrieves.

Like a senior analyst who read, understood, and internalized your entire library — and now reasons under your rules. Every analysis compounds that knowledge. The system gets smarter with every case. **That intelligence is yours.**

## How DABAR works

<CardGroup cols={3}>
  <Card title="1. Ingest" icon="file-arrow-up">
    Connect any primary source — PDFs, Word, audio, video, SQL, URLs, external APIs, voice notes, maps. Structured and unstructured, all at once.
  </Card>

  <Card title="2. Reason" icon="scale-balanced">
    A Policy Engine governs every output. Your organization defines what sources are authoritative, what thresholds apply, and how answers must be structured.
  </Card>

  <Card title="3. Act" icon="bolt">
    Deploy the verified knowledge as autonomous agents connected to your systems via MCP, REST, custom skills, or browser automation.
  </Card>

## Verified outputs

Every response DABAR produces is explicitly labeled:

<ResponseField name="CONFIRMED" type="verified">
  Verified fact, traced to the exact source and page.
</ResponseField>

<ResponseField name="NOT FOUND" type="missing">
  No verifiable evidence found in the provided sources.
</ResponseField>

<ResponseField name="ESTIMATED" type="inference">
  Inference flagged clearly. Never presented as fact.
</ResponseField>

Nothing is invented. **Zero hallucinations by architecture, not by prompt.** This makes every DABAR output **auditable by regulators** — not just useful to analysts — and defensible in legal or compliance contexts.

## Key concepts

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Policy Engine">
    The core of DABAR. Instead of relying on prompts, organizations codify their reasoning rules — what the AI must consider, what it must flag, and what it must never do.

  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Primary Sources">
    DABAR works exclusively with sources your organization defines and controls — internal documents, proprietary databases, specific URLs, or approved external APIs. Never unverified internet content by default.

    [Learn more →](/concepts/primary-sources)
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Domain Intelligence">
    DABAR builds a specialized domain model from your organization's own sources — like a senior analyst who internalized your entire library and now reasons under your rules.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="FusionAI Orchestration">
    DABAR is powered by FusionAI, a multi-model orchestration layer that selects the most appropriate model for each task — optimizing for reasoning accuracy, context size, cost, and latency.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Autonomous Agents">
    Every knowledge base in DABAR can power agents that take action — not just answer questions. Agents execute multi-step workflows under the same policy governance as the research layer.

## Who DABAR is for

DABAR is built for organizations in regulated industries where the cost of an unverifiable error is legal, financial, or reputational.

* **Banking & Financial Services** — credit risk, KYC/AML, regulatory reporting, ESG compliance.
* **Legal** — case research, contract review, litigation strategy, library indexing.
* **Agriculture & Supply Chain** — field sales intelligence, product knowledge, client history.
* **Government & Public Sector** — policy research, compliance monitoring, regulatory analysis.
* **Consulting & Professional Services** — due diligence, market research, client reporting.

## Why DABAR

|                           | Traditional RAG | Internet Search | **DABAR**                         |
| ------------------------- | --------------- | --------------- | --------------------------------- |
| Source control            | Partial         | None            | Full                              |
| Policy Engine             | No              | No              | Yes                               |
| Output labeling           | No              | No              | CONFIRMED / NOT FOUND / ESTIMATED |
| Autonomous agents         | No              | No              | Yes, via MCP                      |
| Multi-model orchestration | No              | No              | Yes, via FusionAI                 |
| Auditable by regulators   | No              | No              | Yes                               |

## In production

**A bank came to us.** A regulated financial institution was spending **2–3 weeks with multiple analysts** to produce a single environmental-risk assessment — a static PDF that had to be presented to the board before approving or rejecting a loan.

With DABAR the same process now takes **4 hours**. Every finding is labeled CONFIRMED, NOT FOUND, or ESTIMATED with source and page. And instead of a static document, the board now has an **autonomous agent they debate with in real time** before approving a loan.

In regulated industries, an unverifiable error isn't a bug — it's a legal problem. DABAR is the infrastructure that eliminates it.

## Security & deployment

* **Source isolation** — data never leaves the sources you define.
* **Role-based access control** across users, projects, and policies.
* **Full audit trail** on every output, with source and page-level traceability.
* **Deployment options** — managed cloud, VPC-isolated, or on-premise.
* **SOC 2 Type II** — in progress.
