Build an Internal Knowledge Bot

Ship a Slack bot that answers questions from your company docs.

Problem
Team members repeatedly ask the same questions that are already answered somewhere in Notion, Drive, or Confluence.
Solution
Ingest your sources into a vector store and expose a RAG-powered chat surface inside Slack.
Steps
  1. 01Inventory the source systems and decide what is in-scope.
  2. 02Set up ingestion + chunking for each source.
  3. 03Embed chunks and store them in a vector database.
  4. 04Wire a retrieval + grounded-answer prompt into a chat endpoint.
  5. 05Deploy a Slack slash command pointing at the endpoint.
