Patrivox vs Surnex

Patrivox is a foundational software platform designed to solve a basic but critical problem: making large collections of scanned documents useful. Many organizations, such as municipal archives, historical societies, and heritage libraries, possess vast archives of PDFs that are effectively locked away. These documents are difficult to search through, requiring hours of manual effort to find specific information. Patrivox addresses this by applying modern artificial intelligence to transform these static files into a dynamic, searchable knowledge base. At its core, the platform uses advanced Optical Character Recognition (OCR) powered by Mistral AI to read every word in your documents. It then goes further by automatically identifying and linking key entities like people, places, organizations, and dates. This process creates a connected web of information, or a knowledge graph, from your archives. The main value proposition is simple: it turns inaccessible data into easily searchable knowledge. Users can find information in seconds using a typo-tolerant search or by asking questions in plain language, with the AI providing answers directly sourced from the documents. Built and hosted entirely in Europe, Patrivox is a sovereign solution focused on empowering organizations to preserve and open their heritage to researchers, teams, and the public.

Surnex is an AI search and SEO platform built for agents and humans. It helps agencies and teams track where brands appear in AI-generated answers and traditional search, including citations, rankings, backlinks, audits, and content gaps. As search shifts from links to AI-driven answers, Surnex shows where you’re visible, where you’re missing, and what to do next. You can give your agent a task and let Surnex do the work, or use the dashboard to review, validate, and report. It brings AI visibility and core SEO together in one place, reduces tool sprawl, and helps teams move faster, uncover opportunities, and deliver better results consistently.
