Briefing

Answers, from your files.

New hires take weeks to find anything. The answers live in a few senior people's heads. New people interrupt them all day, or guess. The handbook is three versions old.

The job, gone

Any staff question about your own documents answered in seconds, with the source, from day one.

Behind the curtain.

What a person sees

A search box that answers in sentences and links to the file. New hires stop asking where things are.

What it may do alone

Reads and answers. Never edits a document, never answers outside your own files.

Who answers for it

Respects who may see what; a question returns only documents that person could open anyway. Every answer is logged with its source.

Whose work changes

Senior people stop being the index. New hires learn from the files.

day summary: 31 questions, 28 answered with a source, 3 not found
What a person reads each morning: the few items the system was not sure about, and what it did. Example, invented.

These four questions are our doctrine. They are answered in writing for every system before it runs.

The target we would agree.

Written down before we build. Measured against your own check.

Nine of ten staff questions answered from your files without a person, within 45 days of launch.

On every build, we agree on a target with you before we start. If we miss it, we keep working at no extra cost.

Three questions.

Our documents are scattered.

Filing comes first. Clean, labelled files are what the assistant reads.

Can it see everything?

It sees only what the person asking could already open. Permissions come from your systems.

Does it make things up?

It answers with a link to the source and says when it cannot find one.

See it on your own pile.
