Knowledge AI
Knowledge AI is a worker that answers internal questions by retrieving and summarising information from your approved documents and knowledge base, pointing back to the source. It gives teams fast, grounded answers — and when the knowledge base is silent, it says so rather than guessing.

Business responsibilities
- Retrieving answers from approved internal documents.
- Summarising relevant policies, procedures and materials.
- Pointing to source documents for verification.
- Surfacing gaps where the knowledge base is incomplete.
Supported systems and integrations
Subject to integration scope, connected through official APIs with scoped access:
- Document and file storage
- Internal wikis and knowledge bases
- Intranet and collaboration tools
Actions it can perform
Key takeaways
- Retrieve and summarise internal information.
- Cite the source documents used.
- Flag when an answer is not available.
Actions requiring human approval
These actions never run automatically — they wait for explicit human approval:
- Publishing answers into official documentation.
- Sharing sensitive internal information externally.
What Knowledge AI does not do
Limitations & honest caveats
- It does not invent answers when sources are missing.
- It does not expose documents a user is not permitted to see.
- It does not replace authoritative sign-off on official content.
Data and knowledge requirements
- A maintained, permissioned knowledge base.
- Clear access rules per user or role.
Monitoring and auditability
- Answers grounded in and linked to source documents.
- Audit trail of queries and documents accessed.
- Review of accuracy and knowledge-base coverage.
Relevant KPIs
Measured against KPIs defined before deployment — never against invented figures:
- Information retrieval time
- Answer grounding rate (with source)
- Knowledge-base coverage
- Repeat-question reduction
Risks and limitations
Limitations & honest caveats
- Answer quality depends entirely on the knowledge base.
- It reflects the documents it is given — not external truth.
- Gaps in documentation produce gaps in answers.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
- Where do the answers come from?
- From your approved internal documents and knowledge base, with links back to the source. It does not answer from outside that permitted material.
- What if the answer is not documented?
- It tells the user the information is not available rather than guessing, and can flag the gap for your team to fill.
