What Is the Docstore?

The Docstore is your personal document library inside Sandman. Upload PDFs, research papers, brand guides, competitor reports, or any reference material and use them directly in your AI chat conversations.

The real power is in the combination: pair your uploaded documents with your live Instagram and TikTok analytics. Ask the AI to cross-reference a trend report with your engagement data, or compare a competitor analysis against your actual performance. Your documents become part of the same conversation as your analytics.

Documents + Social Media Analytics

The Docstore isn't just a file cabinet. It's designed to work alongside your Instagram and TikTok analytics so every conversation has the full picture.

Competitor Research Meets Your Data

Upload a competitor's content report or industry analysis, then ask Sandman to compare their strategy against your own TikTok and Instagram performance. Instantly spot gaps and opportunities.

Brand Voice Consistency

Upload your brand guide and ask the AI to write video scripts, captions, or hooks that match your voice. Combine it with your top-performing video data to get scripts that are both on-brand and proven to engage.

Research-Backed Content Strategy

Upload research papers, trend reports, or audience studies and cross-reference them with your analytics. Ask questions like "Based on this Gen Z social media report and my TikTok data, what hooks should I test next?"

Client Reporting & Briefs

Agencies can upload client briefs and strategy docs, then reference them alongside live analytics in chat. Build data-backed recommendations without switching between tools.

Persistent Knowledge Base

Store content playbooks, SOPs, and strategy docs in your Docstore. Reference them across multiple chat sessions so the AI always has your full context, not just your latest video data.
