Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ about AI Knowledge Base

Basics & Technology

What is a RAG-based knowledge base?

RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) connects language models with your own data. The AI provides answers that are based on your documents – traceable and up-to-date.

Which data sources can be connected?

Practically everything: SharePoint, Confluence, file servers, databases, ticketing systems, emails, PDFs. We develop customized connectors for your data landscape.

Security & Data Protection

Does my data remain in my environment?

Yes, we can run the system on your infrastructure or GDPR-compliant cloud. Your documents are not used for AI training. Complete data sovereignty.

What about access rights?

The AI respects existing access rights. Users only see information they are authorized for in the source systems. We integrate with your IAM/LDAP.

Costs & Pilot

What does a knowledge base cost?

A pilot project starts at around 8,000 €, enterprise solutions including integration and operation correspondingly higher. Plus hosting costs and optionally API costs for language models.

Can we test first?

Yes, we recommend a pilot with a defined data set and user group. So you see the benefit before making a larger investment.

Operation & Development

How is the knowledge base kept up to date?

Through automatic synchronization with source systems. New documents are indexed, old ones updated. You define update intervals and quality checks.

Can we expand the system later?

Yes, modular architecture. New data sources, additional use cases, or multilingualism can be added step by step.

AI Knowledge Base: Preserving Institutional Knowledge with RAG

Every organization faces the same invisible crisis: decades of institutional knowledge locked inside the heads of experienced employees who will eventually retire or move on. Traditional documentation approaches like wikis and manuals capture only a fraction of this expertise, and what gets written down quickly becomes outdated. Our AI-powered knowledge bases use Retrieval-Augmented Generation to transform scattered documents, process guides, and expert insights into a living, searchable intelligence layer that new team members can query in natural language from their first day.

The RAG architecture we implement connects large language models to your actual company data sources without sending sensitive information to external providers. Documents from SharePoint, Confluence, file servers, ticketing systems, and databases are indexed and chunked intelligently, preserving context and relationships between information. When an employee asks a question, the system retrieves the most relevant passages from your knowledge base and generates a precise, source-cited answer that can be verified against the original documents.

Access control is a critical consideration that many knowledge base implementations overlook. Our systems respect existing permission structures from your identity management infrastructure, ensuring that users only receive answers derived from documents they are authorized to access. This granular security model means you can deploy a single knowledge base across departments without worrying about confidential HR policies appearing in engineering queries or financial data leaking to unauthorized personnel.

The real power of an AI knowledge base reveals itself over time as it grows with your organization. New documents are automatically indexed through scheduled synchronization with source systems, and user interactions provide feedback signals that improve retrieval quality. We build evaluation pipelines that measure answer accuracy against curated test sets, catching quality degradation before it impacts users. For organizations facing demographic change or rapid scaling, this technology transforms knowledge preservation from an afterthought into a strategic competitive advantage.

Frequently Asked Questions

AI Knowledge Base

What It Is & Security

What is an AI knowledge base?

An AI knowledge base captures, structures and stores company knowledge – especially experiential knowledge from your employees' minds. AI enables natural language search and intelligently links knowledge together.

How does an AI knowledge base differ from a normal wiki?

A wiki is static – users need to know what they're searching for. An AI knowledge base understands questions in natural language, finds relevant answers even without exact search terms, and recognizes connections between knowledge units.

What does a knowledge base cost?

A pilot project starts at around €8,000 excl. VAT; enterprise solutions including integration and operation are higher. Plus hosting and optionally API costs for language models.

How secure is our company data in an AI knowledge base?

Maximum security: hosting in German data centres, encryption, access controls, GDPR compliance. On request fully on-premise in your own infrastructure. No data is sent to external AI providers.
