Internal knowledge assistant

Give staff grounded answers from policies, procedures and past work instead of hunting through shared drives.

  1. Step 1

    The problem

    Knowledge is spread across SharePoint, ticketing systems, email and people's heads. Staff spend significant time searching, asking colleagues, or working from out-of-date versions. New starters take months to become productive.

  2. Step 2

    The AI opportunity

    A retrieval-augmented assistant that answers questions from approved sources, cites where the answer came from, respects existing document permissions and says so when it does not know.

  3. Step 3

    Our approach

    1. 1.Inventory sources and confirm which are authoritative
    2. 2.Build identity-aware retrieval so users only see what they are already allowed to see
    3. 3.Create an evaluation set of real staff questions with expected answers
    4. 4.Pilot with one function, measure, then expand
  4. Step 4

    Expected business outcome

    • Less time searching and re-asking
    • Faster onboarding
    • Fewer errors from stale documents

    Outcome types are described without figures. Numbers come from your baseline and business case, not from a template.

  5. Step 5

    How it is measured

    • Time to answer for sampled questions
    • Assistant usage and repeat usage
    • Answer accuracy against the evaluation set
    • Escalations to subject-matter experts
