Result
  • Every answer cites its sources with a confidence score
  • Stays up when external AI services are down, by falling back to a local model
  • Creates checklists, slides and documents straight from the chat

Why

Procedures live in long documents that few people read end to end. People ask colleagues instead, and get a different answer each time.

What it does

The helpdesk answers questions from the organisation’s own documents, checks its own answers before replying, and asks for clarification when a question is ambiguous. When needed it produces the output people actually want: a checklist, a short deck or a filled-in document.

How it is built

  • An agent that retrieves, drafts, checks for unsupported claims and retries, built as a state machine.
  • Hybrid search (meaning plus keywords) over the documents, with embeddings computed locally at no cost.
  • Speaks the Model Context Protocol, so other AI tools and agents can use it as a service.

Built for internal use. Not publicly available.
