How agentic AI is turning document archives into instant, trustworthy answers – and why we’re bringing it to NTK 2026

What Is DocuWare?
DocuWare is far more than a digital archive. It’s a cloud-based or On-Prem document management and enterprise content management (ECM) platform that captures, organizes and automates the workflows behind your business documents – contracts, invoices, HR records and more. At its core, DocuWare functions as a business process automation engine: routing invoices for approval, managing contract lifecycles end to end, and keeping compliance-critical records audit-ready. For over three decades, organizations worldwide have used DocuWare to turn document-heavy processes into structured, automated ones – built by partners like Vibor d.o.o. to fit each organization’s specific workflows.

Every organization has the same quiet problem: the answers it needs already exist, buried somewhere in a contract, an invoice, an email thread or a policy document. Finding them usually means someone stopping what they are doing to search folders, guess at keywords, or ask a colleague who might remember where the file went. It is slow, it interrupts real work, and it does not scale as archives grow into the tens of thousands of documents.

DocuWare Aura is built to solve exactly that problem, and this year we are bringing it to the NT konferenca 2026 stage.

What Is DocuWare Aura?

DocuWare Aura is a generative AI component built directly into the DocuWare platform. Rather than a separate chatbot bolted onto the system, Aura is an agentic retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) engine that works with a company’s own documents as its only source of truth. Instead of returning a list of files that might contain the right keyword, Aura reads, interprets and reasons across the archive to give a direct answer – and shows exactly which document it came from.

In practice, that looks like this: a user simply types a question in natural language, such as “Which of our supplier contracts include a penalty clause for late delivery?” or “Summarize the invoices from our top three vendors last quarter.” Aura searches the relevant file cabinets, extracts the answer, and returns it with citations pointing back to the source documents – so the answer can always be verified, never just taken on faith.

Finding Documents: Today vs. With Aura

How search works today: Today, finding a document in DocuWare typically means searching by index values such as invoice number, vendor name or date, running a full-text search across a file cabinet, or browsing a folder structure until the right file turns up. That works well when you know roughly what you are looking for – but it still returns documents, not answers. You still have to open each result, read it, and pull out the fact you actually needed.

How search will work with Aura: With DocuWare Aura, the first part – finding the relevant documents – still happens in the background, exactly as before. What changes is what happens next: instead of a list of files to open and read, you ask your question in your language and Aura reads the matching documents itself, then hands you a direct answer with a citation back to the source. The search is the same; what you receive at the end is completely different.

Aura can also:
• Answer questions directly from stored contracts, invoices, HR files and other business documents
• Summarize and compare multiple documents at once, surfacing differences a manual review might miss
• Support day-to-day decisions by pulling relevant facts together in seconds instead of hours

Why It Matters for Document-Heavy Teams

For finance, HR, procurement, legal and compliance teams, the value is immediate. Accounts payable staff can ask about payment terms across hundreds of supplier contracts without opening a single one manually. HR teams can locate specific clauses across employee files in seconds. Legal and compliance teams can compare contract versions and flag inconsistencies before they become costly problems.

The result is less time spent searching, fewer errors from missed details buried in long documents, and more time available for the analysis and decisions that actually require human judgment.

Built With Trust in Mind

A common concern with any AI feature is data privacy – especially in Europe, where data sovereignty is a serious consideration for IT and compliance leaders. Aura is designed around that concern from the ground up. It works only with a customer’s own document repository, runs securely within the DocuWare environment, and does not rely on public, general-purpose AI models trained on external data. The documents stay where they belong, and so does control over them.

This approach reflects DocuWare’s broader AI Hub initiative, a dedicated research and development center focused exclusively on building secure, enterprise-grade AI for intelligent document management – rather than adopting AI as a marketing label.

Meet DocuWare Aura at NT konferenca 2026

As Vibor d.o.o., we are proud DocuWare Platinum partners, and DocuWare Aura is at the centre of everything we are bringing to NT konferenca 2026, taking place 21-23 September at the Grand Hotel Bernardin in Portoroz.
You will find us at our exhibition stand throughout the conference, where our team will walk you through a live, hands-on demonstration of Aura working with real documents. We will also be hosting a dedicated session focused entirely on DocuWare Aura – covering how it works, what it means for document-heavy processes like accounts payable and contract management, and what a rollout in your organization could look like in practice.
Whether you manage a small archive or a document repository spanning multiple systems and departments, the questions Aura is built to answer are the same ones your team is likely asking every day, just without the instant answer. We would love to show you the difference.

Come find us at NT konferenca 2026, or reach out to our team in advance to book a personal demo before the conference.
