The problem it solves

You've built an AI assistant that answers questions from your documents, but you can't easily tell if it's actually pulling the right information before it responds. Bad answers from irrelevant sources erode trust in the tool. Without a way to test this systematically, problems only surface when a customer or employee complains.

Who it fits

Teams running an AI knowledge assistant or support chatbot who want confidence it's retrieving accurate information.

How it works

  1. Runs a set of test questions through your AI assistant
  2. The assistant retrieves supporting documents to answer each question
  3. AI compares the retrieved documents against the question to score relevance
  4. Results are recorded so you can see where the assistant is performing well or poorly
What you get

How reliably your assistant finds the right answer

Your AI knowledge assistant gets tested against real questions, so you can see exactly where it retrieves the right information.

What you get

A relevance score for each test question, showing where your AI assistant is retrieving accurate information and where it isn't.

What you need

An OpenAI API key and a vector database or document store for your AI assistant.

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.
