Internal knowledge assistant across your own file server

The starting situation

The file server has grown over decades — several terabytes, mixed Office documents and CAD files (DWG, RVT, IFC). Employees search for minutes or hours until they find the right document. Knowledge is scattered across Outlook, SharePoint and deep folder structures.

How we solve it

We index the file server directly, without data copies — including CAD metadata. Active Directory permissions are passed through 1:1 on every query; the AI model runs hybrid (agent + data on-prem, model encrypted externally). Employees ask in natural language, and the assistant answers with source references.

What you get

Nobody sees documents they would not be allowed to access on the file server. Search times drop noticeably, answers come with provenance, new sites are rolled out step by step — without copying data into an external cloud.

Do you recognise a similar process in your company?

If this use case feels close to your daily work, we can assess data availability, effort and a realistic first MVP together.

Why AI projects work

This use case is based on a real client project. Sector and region are named, the company itself remains anonymous.
