AI Knowledge Assistant for Your Team

Your company's knowledge sits in manuals, work instructions, contracts, old quotations and tickets — spread across drives, mailboxes and people's heads. A knowledge assistant turns that into something you can simply ask. Employees ask in plain language and get an answer, along with a note about which document it came from.

Technically, what sits behind this is a large language model, or LLM, the same kind of technology behind the well-known AI chats. The decisive difference: a public LLM does not know your company. It does not know what warranty period your contracts specify, how your approval process runs, or what a customer ordered two years ago. Ask it anyway and you get an answer that sounds plausible and is wrong.

We solve that by having the assistant look things up in your documents before every answer. It finds the relevant passages, forms an answer from them and names the document it came from. Specialists call this retrieval-augmented generation, or RAG — in practice it simply means looking things up instead of guessing. The side effect matters: because every answer has a source, it can be checked rather than merely trusted.

Permissions stay intact. The assistant shows each employee only what they would otherwise be allowed to see, the AI does not become a back door to personnel files or costings. We also define what the assistant answers about at all, and where it declines.

For operation you have a choice. Usually we host the language model in the EU, for instance via Azure OpenAI or Mistral. Where data must not leave the building at all, we run your own LLM directly on your network, typically Llama-based. Both can be implemented in a GDPR-compliant way; which route fits is decided by your requirements, not by our preference. Where the standard is not enough, we build the LLM solution to fit, from tuning it to your domain vocabulary through to connecting it to your systems.

Such an assistant pays off most where the same question keeps coming up: onboarding new colleagues, first-level support, preparing quotations when somebody needs to know how a comparable case was costed last time. It does not replace an experienced employee. It means their knowledge no longer has to be fetched from them in person every time.

Onboarding new employees

New colleagues ask the assistant instead of interrupting an experienced one every time, and find the answer with its source in the manual.

// 02

Relieving first-level support

Support looks up error patterns, procedures and earlier tickets in seconds instead of working through folders.

// 03

Costing quotations faster

Comparable cases, prices and contract clauses from past projects are instantly findable instead of buried in archives.

FAQ

AI knowledge assistants: frequently asked questions

Still have open questions? We're happy to clarify them in an initial call.

How do you prevent the AI from making things up?
The assistant does not answer from memory. It looks things up in your stored documents first and names the source. If it finds nothing suitable, it says so. That is deliberately configured. Because every answer has a reference, it can be verified in seconds.
Does our data stay confidential?
Yes. Hosting is in the EU or entirely on your own premises. Your documents are kept separate from other customers', and who is allowed to see which file does not change because of the assistant. Your data is not used to train public models. We secure that contractually.
What if our documentation is out of date?
Then the assistant gives outdated answers. It can only be as good as what you give it. That is why we start by reviewing the sources. Experience shows this clean-up is overdue anyway and pays off regardless of the AI.
How is this different from a chatbot on the website?
The audience. The knowledge assistant faces inward and works with internal, often confidential material for your staff. A customer chatbot faces outward and answers visitor questions from public information. Technically related, but clearly different in scope and permissions. We build both, but separately.
