The problem it solves

When you rely on an AI assistant to look things up or complete tasks, it often has too many possible tools or data sources to choose from, and can pick the wrong one. That leads to answers that miss the mark or take extra back and forth to fix.

Who it fits

A business using an AI assistant or chatbot that needs to select the right specialized tool for different kinds of requests.

How it works

  1. A user sends a question to your AI assistant
  2. The AI decides whether it needs extra outside tools to answer
  3. The system pulls a live directory of thousands of available tools
  4. An AI ranking service scores and picks the most relevant one for that specific question
What you get

The right tool matched to every request

You get your AI assistant matched with the best specialized tool for every question, drawn from thousands of options instantly.

What you get

The most relevant tool selected automatically for each question, so your AI assistant gives a more accurate answer.

What you need

An OpenAI account and a Contextual AI 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.
