AI Knowledge Base for Internal Docs
One search box over Drive, Notion and Slack that answers with sources and permissions respected.
Problem & target users
Company knowledge is scattered across four tools, so staff ask colleagues instead of searching and the same answer gets rewritten weekly.
Who it's for: Companies of 20–300 staff, operations leads, internal IT.
Proposed solution
Connect the document and chat sources, index them with the source permissions attached, and answer employee questions with citations while never surfacing content the asker cannot access.
