The problem it solves

Employees keep asking HR the same policy questions, and every answer means digging through folders of PDFs and handbooks to find the current version. You want employees to get accurate answers fast without pulling someone away from their real work.

Who it fits

An HR team or office manager at a company that keeps policies and handbooks in Google Drive.

How it works

  1. New or updated documents added to your HR folder in Google Drive are automatically picked up
  2. Each document is broken into pieces and converted into searchable data
  3. That data is stored in a knowledge base built specifically for fast lookup
  4. When an employee asks a question in chat, the assistant searches that knowledge base for the relevant passage
  5. It replies with an accurate, on-topic answer based only on your actual documents
What you get

Policy answers pulled from your own documents

Employees can ask questions in chat and get answers pulled directly from your HR policies and handbooks stored in Google Drive.

What you get

An HR chatbot that gives employees instant, accurate answers based on your real company documents.

What you need

A Google Drive account, a Google Gemini 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.
