The problem it solves

Employees and customers often ask questions that are already answered somewhere in your knowledge base, but finding the right article takes longer than just asking someone directly. That means support staff keep answering the same questions instead of handling harder issues.

Who it fits

A support or IT team that maintains a ServiceNow knowledge base and wants to reduce repetitive questions.

How it works

  1. Your ServiceNow knowledge articles are pulled in and broken into smaller searchable chunks
  2. Each chunk is converted into a format that can be searched by meaning, not just keywords
  3. When someone asks a question in chat, the most relevant knowledge chunks are found
  4. AI reads those chunks and writes a clear, grounded answer
  5. The conversation is remembered so follow-up questions stay in context
What you get

What you get

An AI chatbot that answers questions directly from your ServiceNow knowledge base, with conversation memory.

What you need

A ServiceNow account, an OpenAI account, and a Qdrant vector database.

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.
