The problem it solves

Your team answers the same customer questions over and over, digging through manuals and old emails to find the right answer. Customers wait for replies while your staff searches for information that already exists somewhere in your files.

Who it fits

A business with a support team fielding repetitive customer questions from an internal knowledge base.

How it works

  1. A customer sends a message to the chatbot
  2. The system searches your stored documents for relevant information
  3. OpenAI writes a clear answer using only what it found
  4. The chatbot remembers the conversation so follow-up questions stay in context
  5. The customer receives an accurate answer right away
What you get

Questions answered instantly from your own docs

Customers get accurate answers pulled from your own documents any time of day, without waiting on your team.

What you get

An instant, accurate answer to the customer's question, along with a running record of the conversation.

What you need

An OpenAI API key, a Pinecone account, and a Google Drive account for storing your documents.

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.
