Sovra RAG is an enterprise document-intelligence platform: you upload your documents, ask questions in natural language, and get answers with citations back to the exact passages they came from. What distinguishes it from generic AI assistants is where it runs and what it can prove — the entire data path stays in Switzerland, every document is encrypted with a key unique to your organisation before storage, and every answer is traceable to its sources.
What Sovra RAG does
Most organisations already have the answers to their hardest questions — spread across thousands of contracts, reports, policies, dossiers and scans that nobody has time to read. Search finds documents; it does not answer questions. Sovra RAG closes that gap: it reads the corpus, builds a map of the entities and relationships inside it, and answers questions that span many documents at once — which of our supplier contracts contain this clause?, what changed between these policy generations?, what do we know about this counterparty? — with a citation for every claim.
How it works
- Ingest. PDFs, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, plain text and scanned images go in; structure, tables and headings are preserved, and scans are read with OCR. Encryption is applied before anything is stored.
- Understand. Beyond indexing the text, the platform extracts the entities and relationships in your documents into a knowledge graph, so the system knows that two documents are talking about the same company, product or obligation.
- Retrieve. A question triggers semantic and keyword retrieval combined with the graph, across languages, restricted to the documents the asking user is allowed to see.
- Answer. Complex questions are researched step by step by a bounded agentic process before a single, cited answer is written. Simple questions take the direct path.
The sovereignty guarantee
Sovra RAG is built so that sovereignty is a property of the architecture, not a clause in a contract. AI inference and embeddings run on a Swiss AI cloud; compute and object storage run in a Geneva datacenter; backups stay in the same Swiss bucket. No US-incorporated service appears anywhere in the data path, so there is no CLOUD Act exposure to argue about and no cross-border disclosure to justify under the revised Swiss Data Protection Act.
On top of that, every document is encrypted with AES-256-GCM using a key unique to your organisation before it reaches storage. The platform operator cannot read customer content — a property auditors can verify architecturally rather than take on trust. Background: what a Swiss RAG platform is.

Not affiliated with Sovra (sovra.io)
Two unrelated products share this name. Sovra RAG on this site is the sovereign Swiss platform described above, operated from Geneva, Switzerland. It has no connection to Sovra (sovra.io), a digital-identity provider for Latin America whose platform includes an assistant module also called SovraRAG. Different companies, different countries, different product categories — there is no affiliation, partnership or shared technology between them. If you are looking for the Latin American digital-identity platform, you want sovra.io, not this site.

Comparison based on the information published on sovra.io as of 28 July 2026. Where that site states nothing on a point, the table says so rather than assuming.
The practical difference for a Swiss buyer is the data path. Sovereignty here is a property of the architecture — inference, embeddings, storage and backups all inside Switzerland, content encrypted under a key unique to your organisation before it is stored — and it is the reason this platform can be used for client dossiers, case files and patient records that must not leave Swiss jurisdiction. See the twelve questions we recommend asking any vendor, including us.
Who uses it
Sovra RAG is used where the corpus itself is the sensitive asset: banks and wealth managers, insurers, pharma and life sciences, legal and fiduciary firms, hospitals, manufacturers, watchmakers, commodity traders, public administrations and universities. The common thread is a regulatory or contractual reason that the archive cannot be sent to a foreign cloud — and a real need to ask questions of it. The industries overview sets out typical workflows per sector.
Deployment and pricing
Sovra RAG is delivered as a managed Swiss service. Team and Business plans run on shared Swiss infrastructure with per-tenant encryption and isolation; the Sovereign Enterprise tier runs on dedicated single-tenant Swiss infrastructure with an SLA and a compliance pack, for institutions whose supervisors or clients require infrastructure separation. Pricing is in CHF and published on the pricing section of the homepage — from CHF 49 per month for a single user to dedicated deployments from CHF 3’900 per month.
Getting started
The usual sequence is a guided demo, an architecture review with your security or compliance function, then a 30-day pilot on your own documents — running on the production Swiss data path from the first day, not in a sandbox somewhere else. Before that conversation, the twelve-question evaluation checklist is worth sending to every vendor you are considering, including us. Talk to the team via the contact page.
