You're getting in early
Incipit is live and working. You can upload real documents, get real extractions, and start building your archive today. Here's what to expect.
What you can do right now
Early access includes the full core workflow. You can upload scanned documents and photographs, have the AI read them directly from the image (not from OCR), review and verify the extracted metadata, and watch your archive start surfacing connections between documents as it grows.
- AI vision extraction from scans and photographs
- Structured metadata with confidence scores
- Historian verification before anything is committed
- Cross-document connection surfacing
- Research notes as standing queries
- Provenance tracking and metadata changelog
- Natural language search across your archive
- Citation generation from verified metadata
- Voice notes at the moment of capture
- Mobile upload from your phone
- Archive recommendations based on your corpus
- Multiple parallel research projects
- Batch upload with shared provenance
- Additional citation formats
The 5-document limit
During early access, each account can upload up to 5 documents. This is enough to experience the full workflow: upload, extract, verify, and see connections surface between your documents.
We're keeping the cap low intentionally as we scale. This limit will increase as Incipit grows.
What this is not
Incipit is not a place to bulk-upload your entire research archive right now. The 5-document limit means this is a chance to try the workflow, see how the AI handles your specific documents, and give us feedback on what works and what doesn't.
If you have thousands of documents waiting for a home, we hear you. That's exactly what we're building toward.
Your feedback shapes the product
Incipit was built from years of firsthand archival experience. But every historian's workflow is different. Your documents are different. Your research questions are different. Early access is how we learn what matters most to you so we can build the right thing.
If something doesn't work the way you expected, or if there's a feature you need that isn't here yet, we want to know.
