The challenge
Where the friction comes from
Employees search across shared drives, wikis and outdated files, often asking colleagues the same questions again and again.
Our approach
How we would approach it
An assistant could search approved internal sources and respond with citations. When information is missing, it would say so rather than guess.
How it could work
- 01
Ask
An employee asks a question in plain language.
- 02
Authorize
The system checks which documents the employee can access.
- 03
Retrieve
Relevant passages are found within authorized sources.
- 04
Answer
AI provides a concise response with document references.
- 05
Improve
Users flag incorrect answers for review.
Potential benefits
What it could improve
- Less time searching for internal information.
- Easier onboarding for new team members.
- Better use of existing documentation.
Potential benefits only; no measured client results.
Design priorities
Design safeguards
- Document-level permission enforcement.
- Citations and access to original sources.
- No fabricated answers when evidence is missing.
Where we would start
How we would validate it
We would start with a limited document set and test answer accuracy, permission enforcement and citation quality. This is not a completed implementation or client reference.
