What your HR and IT teams get back

01

Fewer repeated questions

Policy, procedure and how-to questions are answered in Teams, Slack or the intranet, so HR and IT stop answering the same things every day.

02

Answers people can check

Every answer links to the exact page it came from, so employees can open the source and check it themselves.

03

Access rules stay as they are

Each employee only gets answers from documents they are already allowed to open. Confidential files stay with the people who may see them.

04

Knowledge that stays current

Outdated pages and documents that contradict each other go to their owners, and repeated questions become verified answers.

What it looks like in practice

An employee asks one question in Microsoft Teams. The agent finds the current remote work policy, checks the conditions and offers to start the request. The answer shows its source, so the employee can check it.

EmployeeCan I work from abroad for two weeks in July?

Knowledge GuideYes, for up to 20 days a year inside the EU, with your manager’s approval (remote work policy, updated May 2026). Outside the EU, HR must check first. Shall I start the request?

Knowledge Guide AI Agent: questions from business leaders

How quickly will we see results?

Employees ask real questions within the first weeks. Most companies see fewer repeated questions to HR and IT, and faster answers for new joiners, during the first month after going live.

What does it cost?

It depends on the number of employees, the sources it reads and where it runs. After a first conversation you get a written proposal with the price, so you can compare it with the time your teams spend searching and answering today.

Will it replace our HR or IT staff?

No. It takes over the repeated questions, so HR, IT and your experts spend their time on the work that needs them. Decisions and sensitive topics stay with your people.

Does it make things up?

It only answers from your own documents and always shows where the answer came from. If the answer isn’t documented, it says so and sends the question to the team that owns the topic.

Can we control what it answers?

Yes. You choose its sources, decide which answers are verified and which topics always go to a person, and owners approve every new answer before it is used. You can pause it at any time.

Are our documents safe?

It can run on your own servers, together with its AI models, so your documents stay inside your company and no outside AI service is used. We have no access to them, and your data is never used to train AI models.

Will employees see documents they shouldn’t?

No. Each employee only gets answers from documents they are already allowed to open, following the access rules you already have.

Do we have to move our documents?

No. It reads your intranet, Confluence, SharePoint, file shares and policy library where they are today, and employees ask in Microsoft Teams, Slack or the intranet.

What do you need from our team?

The owners of your main sources, access to test versions of them, and a few hours a week from HR, IT and a handful of employees while we test.

Can we start small?

Yes. Most companies start with one department or one set of documents, such as HR policies, see the results, and then add more sources.

See what the Knowledge Guide AI Agent can do for your HR and IT teams.

Tell us where your knowledge lives, which questions reach HR and IT most often and how long new joiners take to settle in. You get a written proposal with the expected results, the setup, a timeline and a price.
