Bulk-build a knowledge base assistant from a CSV of articles

Upload a spreadsheet of articles and the system builds a ready-to-use AI assistant trained only on that content.

How the work actually flows

From the manual situation today to what runs on its own.

The problem it solves

Building a focused AI assistant for a specific topic, like an HR policy bot or an RFP bot, usually means uploading documents one at a time and manually setting it up. If you have dozens of articles or Q&As, that process alone can eat up your afternoon.

Who it fits

Knowledge managers and product teams who want to spin up a topic-specific AI assistant fast.

How it works

  1. You upload a CSV of articles along with the assistant's name and instructions
  2. The system converts each row into its own text file
  3. Each file is uploaded to build the assistant's knowledge base
  4. A new assistant is created with access limited to just those resources
What you get

A ready-to-use assistant built from your articles

You upload a spreadsheet of articles and get a working AI assistant trained only on that content, ready to answer questions.

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.
