The problem ## Sound familiar? ### Answers buried in folders The answer exists somewhere in SharePoint or Drive, but nobody can find it quickly. ### The same questions, every day New staff ask senior people the same questions about process, pricing and policy. ### Chatbots that make things up Generic AI answers confidently without knowing your rules or showing where the answer came from.

Custom to your process, built on the tools you already use — and a person approves anything that matters. ### Prepare - Map the documents and data worth searching - Clean up duplicates and outdated versions - Respect existing permissions - Define what the assistant should and shouldn’t answer ### Build - Retrieval over SharePoint, Drive, databases or wikis - Answers with links to the source - Claude with clear rules and refusals - Available in Slack, Teams, a web app or via MCP ### Test & run - Tested on real questions before launch - Feedback buttons to improve answers - Index updates as documents change - Usage and gap reports each month How it works ## Map. Build. Run. 1. **Workflow audit** 1 week, fixed fee. We map how it works today and agree what to fix first. Your team: about 3 hours. 2. **Build sprint** 2–4 weeks.

Retrieval-augmented generation: before an AI answers, it searches your own documents or data for relevant information and uses it to answer, usually with links to the sources. It makes answers specific to your business and easier to check. ### What can a RAG assistant be used for? Answering staff questions about processes and policies, finding precedents and templates, supporting customer service with accurate answers, and onboarding new team members. ### Is our data private? Yes. The assistant runs in your own accounts, respects existing document permissions and doesn’t copy data into a TribeHQ system. ### Why not just use Copilot or ChatGPT? Sometimes that’s enough, and we’ll tell you. A custom RAG assistant makes sense when you need tighter control over sources, answers, permissions or where the assistant lives. ### How long does it take? A first assistant over a focused set of documents usually takes 2–4 weeks, including testing on real questions. ## See what this would look like for you. A 30-minute call.
