AI does the heavy lifting, people stay in charge
Use AI to interpret permitted inputs, suggest structured mappings and generate candidate outputs for the three stated task modules. Use deterministic code for arithmetic, schema validation, hard constraints and reproducible tests. Review source-linked explanations and uncertainty before accepting results. One approved deployment target and model set; final access, retention and professional decisions remain with the organization. A model suggestion is never a verified fact, professional decision or authorization to act.
What your team sees
Primary screens: Source connections and permissions, Assistant and agent workspace, Administrator console and audit. Use a source list with sync status, a central question-and-answer canvas with citations, and a right-hand panel for model choice, agent settings and review state. Let users compare answers across models. Display draft, changes requested and approved states. Provide a conversation log with source references and unresolved questions. Make the task-specific outcome source-linked assistant and administrator console visible beside its evidence, review state and value baseline.
Accounts and administration
Organization ownership, source versions, access boundaries, approval states, usage allowances, retention limits, export history and a rights record for supplied material. Add named reviewers, usage caps, data retention controls, export logs and explicit approval for external actions.
Integrations and data access
Organization-owned document stores, identity providers and permitted productivity tools. Cloud, on-premise and private cloud deployment targets. Start with file exchange and validate destination specifications before promising direct publishing. Start with authorized file exchange. Validate current provider access, usage rights and schema behavior before promising a connector.
How we build it
We build with our own AI software development factory, so most implementations take days to a few weeks of creation time, not months. You see working software at every step, and exact timing depends on availability.

Why we start with an MVP
An MVP, or minimum viable product, is the smallest version that your users can actually work with. It is not a cheap version of the full solution. It is a test, built to answer the questions that decide whether the rest is worth building.
- Pick the riskiest assumption. Here: will IT and development teams running a private AI assistant over company documents and systems use it to solve "answers are scattered across rented assistants that cannot see all internal sources or stay under the organization's control"?
- Build only what tests it. One team, one use case, a few core modules. People do the rest by hand for now.
- Run a paid pilot. Agree quality and outcome thresholds before the pilot using this measure: Accepted answers per support hour and corrections after review.
- Measure, then decide. Track accepted answers per support hour and corrections after review; accepted-output rate; material error rate; reviewer correction time; actual repeat purchase. Then expand, change course or stop, with evidence instead of opinions.
MVP scope for this solution. Pilot scope: One approved deployment target and model set; final access, retention and professional decisions remain with the organization. Implement one approved input format, a bounded representative case set and the first two task modules: connect permitted internal knowledge sources; retrieve relevant passages and generate cited answers. Support the third module with operator review: build and tailor custom AI agents for defined tasks. Include source references, corrections, basic organization access, approval states, export and value measurement. Use managed operator assistance for unresolved exceptions. The cost estimate covers this narrow prototype, not unrestricted multi-tenant scale, complex production integrations, specialist certification or physical operations.
After the MVP. Once paid pilots prove usefulness, automate repeatable reviewed steps and add one verified source integration. Expand supported inputs and case volume only after new evaluation cases pass. Build reusable customer configurations and recurring value reports around source-linked assistant and administrator console. Retain the explicit scope boundary: One approved deployment target and model set; final access, retention and professional decisions remain with the organization.
What the build depends on. Source upload and sync, asynchronous indexing jobs, editable version history, reviewer access and tested export formats. High-fidelity deployment requires specialist IT QA. Obtain representative authorized cases, baseline measurements, qualified reviewers and a buyer-side decision owner. Specific limitation: One approved deployment target and model set; final access, retention and professional decisions remain with the organization.

Selling it to your own clients: the go-to-market playbook
Pricing to test
Test a USD 300-1,500 fixed pilot for one defined source package. Offer a monthly production allowance after repeat demand. Quote complex deployment, on-premise or specialist integration separately. These are test prices, not market benchmarks. Package the initial sale as one bounded source-linked assistant and administrator console. Recurring fees must specify volume, review depth and integration support. For exchanges, test a disclosed coordination or successful-service fee rather than holding customer funds. Reprice only after measuring real delivery labor; platform-build cost is separate from a commercial pilot fee.
Message to test
Reduce the number of rented assistants while keeping answers source-linked and inside the organization's own deployment. Demonstrate a concrete source-linked assistant and administrator console using the buyer's approved example and show the baseline, corrections and actual delivery effort.
Where to find buyers
IT and development teams professional communities; specialist consultants serving this buyer; permissioned partner introductions; practical demonstrations at relevant trade or practitioner events.
Lead magnet
A reviewed sample source-linked assistant and administrator console from a small authorized input set, with a transparent calculation of accepted answers per support hour and corrections after review and no promised savings.
The first 30 days
- Week 1: interview five IT and development teams running a private AI assistant over company documents and systems and inspect a recent example of answers scattered across rented assistants that cannot see all internal sources or stay under the organization's control.
- Week 2: prepare a consented or synthetic demonstration of the three task modules.
- Week 3: seek one bounded paid pilot with agreed baseline and acceptance criteria.
- Week 4: measure accepted answers per support hour and corrections after review, reviewer effort and repeat-purchase interest. This is a demand-validation plan, not a thirty-day full-product delivery promise.
Paid pilot
Agree quality and outcome thresholds before the pilot using this measure: Accepted answers per support hour and corrections after review. Continue only if the buyer accepts the actual output, the intended job outcome improves without unacceptable errors, and measured delivery cost fits willingness to pay. Revise or stop if access is unavailable, qualified review cannot be provided, or apparent savings disappear after corrections and support. Use held-out cases when comparing model quality; use a properly reviewed comparison design before making causal claims. Record missing cases and negative results alongside successful outputs.
Success metrics
Accepted answers per support hour and corrections after review; accepted-output rate; material error rate; reviewer correction time; actual repeat purchase.
Retention and expansion
Repeat the workflow when the buyer again needs source-linked assistant and administrator console. Retain permissioned settings and reviewed examples, report realized value honestly, and sell increased volume or adjacent approved workflows only after contribution margin and quality remain acceptable.
Why clients would pick it
A reusable library of approved source connectors, access rules and review examples, together with reliable delivery for a narrow IT niche. Build a permissioned library of representative task cases, reviewer corrections and verified operating constraints for IT and development teams running a private AI assistant over company documents and systems. Repeatable delivery and useful integrations matter more than access to a base model.
Alternatives and positioning
Le Chat Enterprise, Omnifact, Amazon Q, Claude for Enterprise, Cody, ZBrain, Parallel Labs, Platus YC F24, LyzrGPT and Chat with RTX. Compare this product with the buyer's present method on accepted answers per support hour and corrections after review. Offer a bounded paid workflow instead of claiming broad autonomous expertise. Market uniqueness and competitor coverage are not verified.
Main delivery costs
Model calls, retrieval and indexing, storage, reviewer hours, client revision rounds and licensed source connectors. Additional initial validation requires representative authorized sample preparation, buyer interviews, buyer-side evaluation and bounded validation of source-linked assistant and administrator console. Track cost per accepted output, including correction work, unsuccessful cases and support.
Safeguards
Preserve source attribution, access boundaries, retention limits and usage permissions. The organization approves substantive changes and deployment scope. One approved deployment target and model set; final access, retention and professional decisions remain with the organization. Keep all consequential actions under authorized human control and do not fabricate missing inputs, permissions, professional judgments or market evidence.
