The problem it solves

You answer the same questions again and again because the real information is buried across scattered documents. New hires and customers can't find what they need, and keeping a help center current feels like a losing battle.

Who it fits

Teams needing an internal knowledge base or customer support assistant, like HR or support teams.

How it works

  1. You upload or update documents in Google Drive
  2. System detects the change and reprocesses the file
  3. Document content is stored in a searchable database
  4. Someone asks a question in chat
  5. AI answers using only the matching document content, remembering the conversation
What you get

Questions answered instantly without hunting for the file

Give your team instant answers pulled straight from your own company documents, day or night.

What you get

Accurate answers to questions, sourced only from your own documents, plus a chat history.

What you need

A Google Drive account, a Postgres database, a Supabase account, and an OpenAI API key.

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.
