Make the firm's own knowledge answerable in seconds
A professional services firm
A consulting firm whose expertise is scattered across wikis, drives, and past engagements could make all of it answerable. The idea: a grounded knowledge assistant that answers from the firm's own documents, with a citation and respect for who can see what.
The opportunity
Answers live in Confluence, SharePoint, and years of past project files, and nobody can find them. New hires ask the same questions for months and senior people get interrupted to repeat what is already written down. A generic chatbot is a non-starter because it would make things up across confidential client work. That is the opportunity.
Target outcome
target: a cited answer from firm knowledge
What we would build
No black box. These are the concrete pieces we would put in place, in the order they matter, with a human in the loop wherever the stakes are high.
- 1
Build connectors that sync the firm's sources and carry their access permissions through to retrieval
- 2
Set up a chunking and embedding pipeline with metadata for source, owner, and freshness
- 3
Run permission-aware hybrid search with reranking so the right passage surfaces for each question
- 4
Generate grounded answers with an inline citation for every claim, and a refusal when retrieval is weak
- 5
Schedule re-indexing on change events so answers track the latest version of every document

More ideas
Cut loan document review from days to hours
A specialty lender drowning in manual document review on every loan file could turn that work over to an agent. The idea: extraction and reconciliation that reads the package, checks it against policy, and surfaces only the exceptions an analyst needs to decide.
Give clinicians two hours back per day on prior-auth
A multi-site health system losing clinician time to prior-authorization paperwork could hand that work to an assistant. The idea: draft requests from the chart, grounded in payer rules, with a clinician sign-off built in.
Clear shipment exceptions before customers notice
A third-party logistics operator handling shipment exceptions by hand across many systems could automate the routine ones. The idea: an agent that watches shipments, reads the documents, resolves routine exceptions, and keeps customers updated on its own.
