Know → think → act
Three capabilities, not one search box
01 · Know
Understands authorized company information — policies, pricing, products, SOPs, customers and decisions.
- “What is our approved Enterprise pricing?”
- “Which SOP revision is current for Line 2?”
02 · Think
Reasons, writes, analyses and plans — including questions that have no answer in company knowledge.
- “Explain EBITDA to a new employee.”
- “How do I write a compelling LinkedIn advertisement?”
03 · Act
Uses authorized business tools to complete work, with a named person approving anything that leaves the company.
- “Save the sales sheet to Marketing Drive.”
- “Create a CRM follow-up task for every open opportunity.”
AI orchestrator
What happens between the request and the result
The orchestrator decides what is actually needed — company knowledge, general reasoning, tools, or a combination — rather than searching the knowledge base for everything.
- 1
Employee
A request in plain language.
- 2
AI orchestrator
Classifies the intent and decides what is actually needed.
- 3
Company knowledge + general AI + tools
Any combination — retrieval is one option, not the only one.
- 4
AI agent
The department specialist responsible for this kind of work.
- 5
Plan / execute
An execution plan, run only as far as permissions allow.
- 6
Human approval when necessary
External or high-impact steps stop for a named person.
- 7
Action / result
An answer, a document, or a completed step in a business system.
- 8
Audit
Who asked, what was used, what was produced, who approved.
