Internal Knowledge Assistant

An LLM-powered Q&A assistant on the business's internal document corpus — team-facing chat interface, permission-aware, with answer-with-citation so users can verify before acting.

§ Problem

Established businesses accumulate institutional knowledge that's hard to access — policy documents nobody remembers exist, runbooks scattered across SharePoint and Confluence, prior-project records that would answer the current project's questions, customer-history records that the service team can't find in time.

What this is

The team-facing knowledge access layer. Three planes:

  • Corpus ingestion. Per-source connectors. Indexing with embedding-based retrieval. Per-engagement fine-tuning on the business's terminology and document patterns.
  • Permission-aware retrieval. Document-level access controls integrated with the business's existing identity infrastructure. Users see only what they can see.
  • Grounded Q&A. Answers cite source documents. Hallucination bounded by retrieval — no answer without backing.

How it's built

Commercial-API LLM (Claude-class, GPT-class) for the inference layer, or on-prem Llama-class for businesses with that requirement. Embedding-based retrieval (commercial API for the common case, on-prem dense-embedding deployment for the sensitive case). Permission enforcement at the retrieval layer, audited per engagement.

What you get

  • The connectors into the business's document systems.
  • The retrieval-and-answer infrastructure.
  • The permission-aware deployment.
  • A team-facing chat interface (Slack, Teams, web — your choice).
  • Hallucination-rate measurement and quarterly tuning.
§ How we engage

Engagement is shape, not list.

Length and price are functions of the data and the destination. The shape below is the typical engagement.

Principal engineer. Architecture and most code ships through one keyboard.

Cadence
Async, weekly

Written updates between, calls when the decision needs the room.

Bar
Production

Async correctness, capacity under burst, observability at every boundary.

§ Questions

What buyers ask about this one.

  • How is this different from ChatGPT Enterprise or Copilot for the same use case?

    ChatGPT Enterprise and Copilot are excellent for the common case (Microsoft 365 corpus, Google Workspace corpus). The differences this product offers: connectors into systems beyond the canonical Microsoft/Google universe (custom databases, internal applications, niche document management systems), per-engagement fine-tuning on the business's terminology, and a permission architecture that integrates with the business's existing access controls.

  • What about hallucination?

    Every answer is grounded in cited source documents. The assistant doesn't generate answers without retrievable backing; where the corpus doesn't contain the answer, it says so rather than making one up. We measure hallucination rate per engagement on a held-out question set.

  • How is permission handling done?

    Document-level permissions enforced at retrieval — the user only sees answers retrievable from documents they have access to. Integrates with the business's existing access controls (Active Directory, Okta, custom-role systems). The LLM doesn't bypass the access boundary.

  • What systems can it ingest from?

    Standard document management (SharePoint, Confluence, Google Drive, Notion). CRM (Salesforce, HubSpot). Ticket systems (Zendesk, Jira, Linear). Custom databases via direct connector. Per-engagement, the connector set is scoped to the business's actual systems.

  • Pricing?

    Scoped to corpus size and user-base size. Discovery call covers both.

§ The next step

If the deliverable matches the gap, the next step is one call.

We'll scope length and price against your data and the operation it integrates with. No retainer, no fishing.
