Why it matters

Your company already knows the answer. It’s just buried in a folder nobody can find, so people ask the same colleague, or guess.

Ask a question
Can people see documents they shouldn’t?

No. The assistant follows your existing permissions, so people only get answers from documents they can already open.

What happens when the answer isn’t in our documents?

It says it couldn’t find it rather than guessing, and can suggest who to ask. Those gaps also show you which documents are missing.

Which file types does it handle?

PDFs, Word, slides, spreadsheets, wiki pages and most databases. Scanned documents can be processed too.

Can it run on our own servers?

Yes. For sensitive data we can deploy with self-hosted models inside your infrastructure.

How does it stay current?

It syncs with your sources on a schedule, so new and updated documents are picked up automatically.
