01What is an internal knowledge assistant?

An internal knowledge assistant is a retrieval-augmented AI that answers employee questions from your company's own documents — policies, runbooks, product docs, past tickets — with citations. It turns scattered institutional knowledge into an instant, sourced answer.

02Permissions are the hard part

Unlike a public chatbot, an internal assistant must respect who can see what. Retrieval has to honor document-level permissions, or you leak HR files to interns. Access control is the difference between a useful tool and an incident.

03Earn trust with citations and honesty

Employees abandon a tool that is confidently wrong. Cite every answer to its source, surface when sources disagree, and abstain when the knowledge base does not cover the question.

04Test yourself

Enterprise RAG has a critical extra requirement.
