The problem it solves

Your team keeps asking you the same questions about policies, procedures, and product details, and you end up digging through folders to find the right document. Customers get frustrated waiting for simple answers you already have written down somewhere.

Who it fits

Any small business or team that has FAQs, policies, or manuals scattered across documents and wants a faster way to answer common questions.

How it works

  1. Someone asks a question through chat
  2. The system searches your documents for the most relevant passages
  3. AI reads those passages and writes a clear, accurate answer
  4. The assistant remembers the conversation and suggests helpful follow-up questions
What you get

Questions answered straight from your own documents

You get accurate answers to common questions pulled directly from your policies and manuals, available the moment someone asks.

What you get

A conversational assistant that answers questions directly from your own documents.

What you need

A Google Drive account, an OpenAI API key, 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.
