The problem it solves

Your team wastes time hunting through shared drives and old files for the answer to a policy or process question, then interrupts someone else to double-check it. Important information exists somewhere, but nobody can find it fast enough.

Who it fits

Growing teams with a lot of internal documentation who want employees to self-serve answers instead of asking around.

How it works

  1. New or updated documents in Google Drive are automatically indexed
  2. Each document is broken into searchable chunks and stored for retrieval
  3. An employee asks a question in the chat
  4. The system finds the most relevant document chunks and has AI compose an answer
  5. The employee gets a clear answer, with the conversation remembered for follow-ups
What you get

Questions answered without asking around

Employees get instant, accurate answers pulled straight from your company's Google Drive documents whenever they have a question.

What you get

Instant, accurate answers to employee questions, sourced from your own company documents.

What you need

A Google Workspace account, a Google AI (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.
