AI and automation

An answer from your own files, with its source

Most companies already hold the knowledge, but it is spread across folders, files and people’s heads. A new hire asks a colleague, the colleague answers from memory, and memory differs from person to person.

Coverage

Where it answers from, and who sees what

Sources and permissions are set together.

Sources

  • HR policies and internal regulations
  • Product manuals and technical specifications
  • Approved standard operating procedures
  • Contracts and agreements in force
  • Recurring questions from support and sales

Permissions

  • Each department sees only its own documents
  • Management material hidden from everyone else
  • Personal fields masked in employee files
  • A log of who asked what, and when
  • A document withdrawn from answering in one click

Sources

Every answer arrives with the document behind it

The assistant shows the document name and the passage the answer was built on, so an employee can verify in a second and a manager can review what is being said in the company’s name.

What appears with every answer

The document name and its last update
The passage the answer was built on
A link that opens the full document
A warning when the document is stale
A button to report a wrong answer
A handover when no source exists

Adoption

Why knowledge assistants get abandoned

Three causes we address from the start.

One wrong answer

An employee embarrassed once in front of a customer will not return, so accuracy in the first weeks decides adoption.

Stale documents

An answer from a superseded version is worse than no answer, so each document carries its date and its owner.

Distance from the work

An assistant inside the tool the team already uses gets used; one on a separate site gets forgotten.

Questions

About the knowledge assistant

What if our documents are disorganised?
That is the normal case, not the exception. Part of the project is ordering the sources and removing contradictory old copies, and that often proves more useful than the assistant itself.
Does it replace training?
No. It reduces repeated questions to colleagues and shortens onboarding, but critical procedures still need training and a documented assessment.
How do we prevent a sensitive leak?
Through document-level permissions, an explicitly excluded list, and an audit log showing who asked what and when.
