What this looks like in practice.
Eleanor is the Head Archivist for a specialized historical society focused on regional industrial heritage. She uploaded decades of collection policies, detailed finding aids, appraisal criteria, and digitized historical documents into DataPeeps. A university researcher, working on a dissertation about early 20th-century textile mills, asked Eleanor's AI for 'all correspondence regarding worker safety regulations in mills between 1910 and 1930, cross-referenced with local government reports.' Eleanor's AI instantly provided a meticulously curated list of documents, their locations, and relevant contextual notes, saving the researcher weeks of manual searching and allowing Eleanor to dedicate her time to securing critical grant funding for new acquisitions.
