Mar 25, 2025

For businesses and organizations, quick access to accurate information is essential. Whether it’s from Word documents, PDFs, Excel files or SharePoint libraries, having the right data at your fingertips can save time and improve decision-making. By embedding an AI assistant on your website, you can centralize your information and get instant answers - boosting efficiency and driving better business outcomes.

Add your knowledge sources with ease

The true strength of an AI assistant comes from its ability to understand and process the information that matters most to your business. Here’s how you can do it:

Add documents and files

Upload Word documents, PDFs, Excel files, and more to your AI assistant. By giving the assistant direct access to your content, it can quickly analyze and index the information, making it instantly available for quick lookups.

Integrate with SharePoint

Connect your SharePoint libraries and select specific files or folders to make available for the AI assistant in just a few clicks.

Pull information from websites

Give your AI assistant the ability to reference updated information from company intranet pages or public websites.

Integrate external resources via REST APIs

Expand your AI assistant’s knowledge with additional, relevant data from external sources.

Why source control matters

Accuracy and relevance

If your AI assistant pulls from outdated or irrelevant sources, the answers it provides will suffer. By carefully selecting the sources that are AI-ready, you can ensure the assistant is working with the most accurate and up-to-date information. This reduces the risk of misinformation and improves trust in the system’s outputs.

Security and privacy

Not all data should be accessible to an AI assistant. Sensitive files, confidential contracts, or internal HR data may need to be restricted. With source control, you can define exactly which files and libraries the AI can access, ensuring that sensitive information remains protected.

Source control by group access

Control which teams, departments, or customers can access specific data. Set permissions so the AI only pulls information relevant to each group, ensuring that sensitive or confidential data is accessible only to those with the right authorization. This helps keep answers accurate and aligned with each team’s needs.
