The problem it solves

Your team keeps asking you or each other the same questions about policy, process, and product details that are already written down somewhere. Customers and employees end up waiting on a reply instead of getting an answer on the spot.

Who it fits

A growing company that wants employees or customers to get instant answers from internal documents without waiting on a person.

How it works

  1. A question comes in by chat or voice message
  2. The system searches your company documents for relevant information
  3. An AI assistant reads the matching content and writes a clear answer
  4. The answer is sent back as a message
  5. New or updated documents added to Google Drive are automatically re-indexed so answers stay current
What you get

Questions answered without waiting on someone

Employees and customers get instant answers pulled straight from your company documents, any time of day, without waiting on someone to look it up.

What you get

Instant, accurate answers to employee or customer questions pulled straight from your own documents.

What you need

A Google Drive account, an OpenAI API key, and a Supabase account for storing the searchable document index.

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.
