How We Started

Spec Pilot was born from the need to alleviate the heavy manual burden of reviewing large, unstructured documents. Teams across sectors often rely on domain experts to interpret sprawling files, a process that’s slow, error-prone, and difficult to scale. We set out to change that — by building a specialized tool that combines document parsing, semantic understanding, and conversational access to key insights.

Our vision was to create an assistant that empowers professionals to explore documents intelligently, without digging through hundreds of pages or missing crucial details.

Project Process

Domain Analysis & Data Structuring

We curated a high-quality dataset of legal contracts (ISDA, CSA, credit agreements), regulatory filings (Basel, MiFID, Dodd-Frank), and financial textbooks. Our annotation pipeline focused on clause-level risk mapping, scenario modeling, and mitigation tagging — creating a gold standard corpus for supervised fine-tuning.

Backend Architecture

Documents are embedded and stored in a high-speed vector database, enabling lightning-fast retrieval of relevant segments in response to user queries.

Frontend & User Experience

The interface allows users to upload documents, ask questions in natural language, and receive highlighted, contextual answers. It’s optimized for enterprise usability, with a focus on clarity, speed, and minimal cognitive overhead.

Insight Extraction

Surfaces specifications, requirements, and regulatory references as structured responses.

Context-Aware Q&A

Engages in interactive conversation based on document content, with precise referencing to original sections.

Real-Time Vector Search

Uses FAISS for high-speed similarity matching across embedded document chunks.

Streamlined UI

Built with Streamlit for fast, secure, and responsive deployment across teams.

Conclusion

Spec Pilot reimagines how organizations work with dense documentation — replacing manual review with AI-driven insight discovery. Whether you're verifying compliance, understanding client requirements, or extracting technical parameters, Spec Pilot enables faster, smarter decisions at every stage.
