About Veluvanto

Veluvanto is an AI-powered document archive for anyone who's tired of digging through folders, inboxes, and drawers to find what they need — whether it's a personal tax return or a business contract.

What problem does Veluvanto solve?

Veluvanto solves the problem of lost and disorganized documents by using AI to automatically read, tag, and organize every file you upload — so you never spend 20 minutes hunting for a receipt, invoice, or contract again.

Important documents pile up everywhere. Insurance policies in your email. Warranties in a kitchen drawer. Tax records on a USB drive. Medical reports in a folder you renamed three times. Business invoices scattered across cloud drives. Veluvanto fixes this. Upload any document — PDF, Word, image, spreadsheet — and AI automatically reads it, extracts key information, tags it, and makes it instantly searchable. No folders to create. No files to rename. No manual sorting.

Who is Veluvanto for?

  • — Individuals and families managing personal documents — tax returns, insurance, medical records, warranties, school paperwork
  • — Households that want one place for all important papers instead of five different drawers and three cloud drives
  • — Freelancers and sole traders keeping track of invoices, contracts, and receipts
  • — Small businesses and teams (1–20 people) with growing document archives
  • — Anyone who needs to find documents quickly and reliably, without wasting time organizing them first

How does Veluvanto work?

  1. 1. Upload — Drag and drop any document. PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, images. Upload multiple files at once. Or forward documents by email to your unique workspace address.
  2. 2. AI analyzes — AI reads the document and automatically extracts: document type (invoice, contract, receipt, insurance policy), sender and recipient, dates, amounts, and key terms. This takes seconds.
  3. 3. Find anything — Search in natural language. "My car insurance from 2024." "Invoices from supplier X last quarter." "Contracts expiring this year." Results appear instantly.

Why does EU hosting matter for document management?

Veluvanto stores all data exclusively in European data centers (Germany and Amsterdam), operates under GDPR by design, and never transfers documents outside the EU. This is not a compliance checkbox — it is a core architecture decision that guarantees your documents remain under European law.

  • Data never leaves the EU — All data is stored in European data centers. No transfers to the United States or any third country.
  • Encrypted at rest and in transit — Every file is encrypted using server-side encryption. Data in transit is protected by TLS. Without the encryption key, data on disk is unreadable.
  • GDPR compliant by design — Full data portability, right to erasure, and data minimization built into every plan. No legal add-ons required.
  • EU AI Act compliant — AI-generated content is clearly labeled. Human oversight is maintained. Usage is logged and transparent.
  • Your documents don't train AI models — Documents are analyzed to serve you. They are never used to train AI models or shared with third parties.

Who built Veluvanto?

Veluvanto is built by a small team based in the Czech Republic. The product was created to solve a real problem: too much time wasted searching for documents that should be instantly findable.

Veluvanto s.r.o. is a Czech company, registered and operating under EU law.
