Build a Team Knowledge Base

Your team's second brain that actually gets used. An AI-powered knowledge base that ingests your docs, Slack, and tribal knowledge, then answers questions conversationally with citations.

The Problem

Institutional knowledge lives in people's heads, scattered docs, and Slack threads. New hires take months to get up to speed. Same questions get answered repeatedly.

What You'll Build

An AI-powered knowledge base that ingests your docs, Slack, and tribal knowledge, then answers questions conversationally with citations.

How It Works

Connects to your existing documentation, Notion, Confluence, Google Docs, and Slack. The AI indexes everything and can answer questions like "What's our refund policy?" or "How do we handle enterprise deals?" with accurate, sourced answers. Learns from corrections to get smarter over time.

Expected Impact
Faster new hire ramp-up

Instant answers to "how do we do X?"

Build a team knowledge base with AI-powered Q&A:

**Content Sources:**
- Upload documents (PDF, DOCX, MD)
- Paste text directly
- Connect to Notion (future)
- Import from Google Docs (future)

**How It Works:**
1. Upload/paste documentation
2. System chunks and embeds content
3. Users ask questions in natural language
4. AI retrieves relevant chunks and generates answer
5. Shows sources/citations for verification

**Q&A Interface:**
- Chat-style interface
- "Ask a question..." input
- AI response with answer
- Expandable source citations
- "Was this helpful?" feedback
- Suggested follow-up questions

**Admin Features:**
- Upload new documents
- See what questions are being asked
- Identify gaps (unanswered questions)
- Update/delete content

**Example Questions:**
- "What's our refund policy?"
- "How do I submit an expense report?"
- "What's the process for requesting PTO?"
- "How do we handle enterprise pricing?"

**Tech Stack:**
- Next.js with NextAuth for team access
- Supabase for database
- pgvector for embeddings storage
- OpenAI embeddings or similar
- Claude for answer generation

**RAG Implementation:**
1. On upload: chunk documents, generate embeddings, store
2. On question: embed question, find similar chunks
3. Send top chunks + question to Claude
4. Generate answer with citations

**Start Simple:**
- File upload only (no integrations)
- Single team (no multi-tenant)
- Basic chat interface
Add Notion integration and advanced features after core works.
