Scope an Internal Knowledge Assistant With Shadyy AI
An internal assistant should help employees find approved information and recognise when it cannot answer. Scope the knowledge sources and permissions before treating generated answers as operational guidance.

Start with a controlled knowledge collection
Identify document owners, review dates and which version is authoritative. Remove obsolete or contradictory material before testing. Decide which teams may use each source and how access changes will be reflected in the proposed solution.
Require evidence and an uncertainty path
Ask answers to point back to their supporting material where the implementation supports it. Define what happens when no suitable source exists: ask for clarification or escalate to an owner. A fluent answer is not evidence that the underlying policy exists.
Test permissions and stale information
Include questions that should be answered, questions that should not be answered and questions whose source has changed. Review both answer quality and access behaviour. Decide who maintains the knowledge collection after the initial build.
A practical starting checklist
- Select approved documents and owners.
- Define access and source-reference requirements.
- Test representative questions and missing-answer cases.
- Review results before expanding access.
Illustrative example
A fictional employee asks about an unpublished discount policy. The proposed assistant identifies that no approved source is available and routes the question to the owner.
This example is hypothetical, not a customer result or a tested product demonstration.
What to confirm before proceeding
Source citations, document permissions and connectors are requirements to confirm and test. This page does not claim verified support for a named document platform.
