The problem it solves

Your team wastes time digging through contracts, manuals, and policy documents to find one answer. Important details get buried in long files that nobody has time to reread.

Who it fits

Any business with contracts, manuals, or policies that staff need to search often.

How it works

  1. Documents in Google Drive are read automatically
  2. Each document is broken into smaller sections and turned into searchable data
  3. The sections are stored in a knowledge base built for fast lookup
  4. When someone asks a question in chat, the system finds the relevant sections and has AI write an answer
  5. The answer is delivered back in the chat
What you get

Answers pulled straight from your documents

You can ask questions about your contracts, manuals, or policies in plain English and get an answer right away.

What you get

A conversational answer pulled directly from your own documents, with no manual searching.

What you need

An OpenAI API key, a Pinecone account, and a Google Drive 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.
