> ### With AI

> ### Words and AI together
>
> Combine the two, narrow it down by people and dates, and save the search to run again.

>
> ### What is AI-powered search?
> It finds recorded calls by what was meant, not only by the exact words used, and lets you ask questions about them in plain language. Argus Archive combines semantic search, keyword search and Argus AI in one place.
>
> ### What is the difference between keyword and semantic search?
> Keyword search finds the exact words you type. Semantic search finds calls that say the same thing in different words. You can use either, or both together.
>
> ### Can I chat with my call recordings?
> Yes. Argus AI answers questions about your archive in plain language, and every answer links to the calls behind it.
>
> ### Does it work in Microsoft 365 Copilot?
> Yes. The Argus Archive agent lets people ask about their calls from Copilot, and your Argus permissions still apply.
>
> ### Can Argus AI see calls I am not allowed to see?
> No. Argus AI only answers from the calls your role lets you see.
>
> ### Is my data used to train AI?
> No. Your calls are used to answer your questions and nothing else.
>
> ### Does search cover chats and email?
> Not yet. Search covers recorded calls and meetings today. Chat and email capture are planned.
>
> ### How long does setup take?
> There are no servers to install. Your IT admin signs in with their Microsoft work account, and Argus guides them through turning on Microsoft Teams compliance recording.
>
> ### How much does it cost?
> Argus Archive is priced per user, per month, with usage included, and you're warned before you go over.
