The problem it solves

Your support team wastes time digging through scattered help articles and run books to answer a question. New hires especially struggle to find the right document fast enough to help a customer.

Who it fits

A customer support team with a library of help articles, FAQs, or run books.

How it works

  1. Support documents are uploaded from Dropbox into a searchable knowledge base
  2. A team member asks a question in a Slack channel
  3. The assistant searches the knowledge base for a relevant answer
  4. It replies in the Slack thread with a clear, sourced answer
What you get

Answers found without digging through docs

Ask your support library a question in Slack and get a clear, sourced answer instantly.

What you get

Instant, accurate answers to support questions posted right in Slack.

What you need

A Dropbox account, a Slack workspace, an OpenAI account, and a Pinecone account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
