What’s EPDocs search experience

Welcome to the Empathy Platform Docs (EPDocs) search experience powered by Empathy AI, where finding the correct information is effortless, intelligent, and secure. Our search engine isn’t just another keyword‑driven lookup tool. This is a next-generation, human-centered, generative AI experience built on open-source large language models (LLMs) that understand context, intent, and nuance, all while prioritizing privacy, sustainability, and ethics.

Why generative AI search beats traditional keyword search

In a traditional keyword content search, the results you obtain depend on the precise words you type. Results are usually presented as a list of links redirecting you to many documents you must read to get the answer, and are ranked based on keyword density and link popularity.

In contrast, in a GenAI content search like the one of EPDocs, the AI interprets the meaning behind your query (context, intent, nuances, etc.), even if you’re vague or use synonyms. Besides, the information is synthesized into clear and concise conversational responses that directly address your needs. The excerpts retrieved are the most up-to-date and pertinent from across the documentation, tailoring the reply to your specific scenario. Thanks to its natural language handling, the GenAI starts a conversation to clarify follow‑ups or infer intent, delivering accurate guidance even with incomplete input.

In addition, the LLMs powering the EPDocs search experience are fed exclusively with the official Empathy Platform documentation created by our tech writers' human team, nothing else. By restricting the training data to our own content, the risk of hallucinations or stray information is dramatically reduced. Consequently, every response you receive is a faithful, source‑grounded reflection of the EPDocs material, giving you confidence that the information is accurate and trustworthy. However, no machine is perfect, nor is the EPDocs search experience. Given that it can make mistakes or may not find the correct answer, we invite you to adopt a critical thinking approach to the generated responses.

In short, our EPDocs search experience delivers relevant, useful, and conversational answers providing flawless guidance through the docs, rather than a list of isolated articles.

Empathy AI – Innovating with ethics, privacy, and sustainability

Empathy AI is a brand dedicated to pushing the boundaries of what technology can achieve while keeping privacy, ethics, and sustainability at the core. Our philosophy blends four pillars:

  • Privacy-first architecture & infrastructure: Every query is processed under strict data-privacy guarantees. No customer data is shared with public third-party providers. All interactions stay within a trusted environment. By aligning deeply with GDPR and other privacy standards, AI-driven conversational search operates transparently and only with customer consent.
  • Sustainability: Our self-hosted AI compute infrastructure, located in the Empathy AI headquarters —the only net-zero energy building in Asturias—is optimized for energy efficiency and reduced resource consumption, differentiating itself from mass-scale commercial cloud models.

    By leveraging private AI cloud deployments, retailers can control their technical footprint and align responsible search innovation with their broader environmental and ethical goals.
  • Self‑hosted & managed AI compute: The search experience can be deployed wherever you need: on‑premises, private clouds, or managed cloud services. You retain complete control over infrastructure, scaling, and security policies, while we provide expert managed services to keep the system running smoothly.
  • Open‑source foundations: We build on transparent LLMs. By embracing open-source models, we ensure auditability, foster collaboration, and accelerate innovation without being locked into proprietary closed systems.
