Use Case

AI in Knowledge Management

Knowledge trapped in emails, Slack threads, and people's heads? Meeting decisions forgotten by the next morning? AI can help you capture, organize, and find institutional knowledge – before it walks out the door.

The Problem

Why companies keep losing what they know

Knowledge silos

Critical information lives in individual inboxes, personal notes, and people's memories. When someone goes on vacation or leaves the company, their knowledge goes with them.

Meeting decisions forgotten

Hours of meetings, but the decisions and action items get buried in vague notes or lost entirely. Two weeks later, no one remembers what was agreed upon.

20% of time spent searching

Studies suggest employees waste around 20% of their time looking for information that already exists somewhere in the company. That's one full day per week lost to searching.

AI Approaches

Three starting points to unlock your team's knowledge

You don't need a massive knowledge management initiative. Each of these can be introduced independently and delivers value on its own.

Approach 1

Automatic meeting summaries

AI listens to (or reads transcripts of) your meetings and generates structured summaries with key decisions, action items, and owners. Your team reviews and adjusts – no more note-taking during the call.

  • Extracts decisions, action items, and owners automatically
  • Makes meetings searchable weeks and months later
  • Team reviews and corrects – AI drafts, humans finalize
  • Works with Zoom, Teams, Google Meet recordings

Ask your knowledge base
"What's our refund policy for enterprise clients?"

Answer

"Enterprise clients on annual plans are eligible for pro-rated refunds within 30 days. For monthly plans, refunds apply to the current billing period only."

Source: Enterprise SLA v3.2 Updated: Jan 2026
Answer sourced from internal docs · Always shows references
Approach 2

Intelligent knowledge base

Instead of searching through folders and wikis, your team asks questions in natural language and gets answers sourced from your actual documents. Always with references, so you can verify and go deeper.

  • Understands questions, not just keywords
  • Always cites sources so answers can be verified
  • Connects to existing docs, wikis, and shared drives
Approach 3

Smart enterprise search

AI-powered search that works across all your tools – email, Slack, Google Drive, Confluence, Notion, whatever you use. Instead of searching five places, your team searches once and gets the right result.

  • Searches across email, chat, docs, and wikis in one go
  • Understands context and meaning, not just exact matches
  • Respects existing permissions – people only see what they should
  • A starting point we help you set up and your team evolves

Our Approach

How we help you get started

We don't just build something and disappear. By the end, you'll understand how the solution works – and can take it from there.

1

Analysis

We map where your team's knowledge lives today, how information flows (or doesn't), and where the biggest friction points are. Together, we pick the best starting point.

2

Prototype

We build a working prototype – whether it's a meeting summary bot, a knowledge base, or a search tool. You test it with real data, give feedback, and we iterate.

3

Handover

You get everything: the prototype, the documentation, and the understanding. Your team can run and evolve the solution independently.

Is this for you?

AI for knowledge management makes sense if...

Your team wastes time searching for information that exists
Meeting decisions get lost or forgotten regularly
Knowledge lives in a few people's heads
New employees take weeks to find their way around
Information is scattered across too many tools
You want to start small and see if AI can help

Let's talk about your knowledge management

In a free introductory call, we'll look at how your team shares and finds information today, and explore where AI could make the biggest difference. No commitment, 30 minutes.
