Institutional Knowledge Agent

Answers drawn from the institution’s own documents, cited back to the source, scoped to who is asking.

Institutional Knowledge Agent (Higher education) deployment pattern

The answer exists, but it lives in a policy PDF, a staff intranet page, a spreadsheet and the memory of one person who is on leave. Staff and students ask the same questions across email, phone and a helpdesk, and someone senior has to go and find the document every single time. When that person leaves, the knowledge leaves with them.

We build a retrieval layer over the institution’s real sources, then put a governed agent in front of it. Answers come back with the document they came from attached, so a person can check rather than trust. Access follows the role of whoever is asking, a student and a faculty administrator do not see the same corpus. Where an answer implies an action, the agent can raise the request rather than describe it.
