Capturing senior consultants' knowledge in an internal assistant

Answers on firm policies, templates, and procedures, drawn from the playbooks the senior team already wrote.

A consulting team reviewing a structured summary drawn from the firm's own knowledge base and templates

1The challenge

  • People at professional service firms constantly need guidance on internal tasks: billing protocols, document formatting standards, client handling policies.
  • That guidance is buried in shared drives and old email threads, or held only by a few senior people.

2The solution

A policy and operations assistant that answers questions from the firm's internal playbooks, guides, and templates. Team members can ask: "What's our NDA template process?" "How do I request a case study for a proposal?" "Who signs off on external presentations?"

The answer comes from the firm's own material, so getting it no longer depends on catching the one person who knows.

3What the system does

  • Answers questions from the firm's playbooks, guides, and templates
  • Runs in Slack, Teams, or the browser
  • Links straight to the template or document behind the answer
  • Filters by role, so an associate and a partner each see what applies to them
  • Tracks the questions that come up most, which shows where documentation is missing
  • Keeps the guidance available when the person who wrote it is unavailable
