Question Base AI Knowledge Agent in Slack
Question Base is a Slack-first knowledge base and AI assistant designed to turn everyday chat into a living, searchable repository of your team’s know-how. It detects questions, captures knowledge from conversations, and delivers instant answers drawn from your docs, FAQs, and wikis. It also surfaces knowledge across tools like Notion, Confluence, Google Docs, and more, making it easy to keep information up-to-date with ongoing collaboration.
Overview
Question Base sits inside Slack as an AI-powered knowledge agent. It observes chat conversations, identifies valuable nuggets of information, and stores them as reusable knowledge. When teammates ask questions, it retrieves the most relevant answers from your existing documentation and enables company-wide FAQ expansion. The goal is to reduce repetitive questions and make knowledge instantly accessible within the flow of work.
How It Works
- Capture knowledge in real time: As your team chats, Question Base detects knowledge and automatically creates a living document of your collective know-how.
- AI-driven extraction: The AI extracts relevant information from conversations and turns it into reusable answers.
- On-demand answers: Team members ask questions in Slack and receive fast, accurate responses sourced from your docs and saved answers.
- Cross-tool search: AI can search across tools like Notion, Confluence, Google Docs, Dropbox, Freshdesk, and more to bring back the right information.
