# Lornos

> Lornos is an API-first retrieval service. A workspace uploads its documents, and its product gets streamed answers that cite the exact passages they came from. An answer may cite only passages retrieved for that request, each workspace has its own index, and every request reports which passages were retrieved and how long each stage took.

Lornos is in private beta. These files are Markdown copies of the public pages: the homepage, the help center and the API reference. Figures on the homepage come from a demo help center of 42 articles.
