FOR IT & INTERNAL TEAMS

AI answers from your
internal knowledge base

Give every employee instant, cited answers from your runbooks, policies, IT knowledge base, and internal wikis — in Slack, Teams, or any surface. Reduce internal helpdesk volume and get new hires productive faster.

Built for internal knowledge ops

Every feature designed around how enterprise teams actually work with internal knowledge

Runbook & Policy AI Search

Index your runbooks, policies, SOPs, and IT knowledge base. Employees get precise answers grounded in your actual internal documentation — not hallucinated advice.

IT Helpdesk Automation

Deflect repetitive IT tickets before they reach your service desk. BeforeQuery answers common requests — password resets, VPN access, software provisioning questions — instantly.

Confluence & SharePoint Connector

Connect your existing Confluence spaces, SharePoint sites, and Notion workspaces. Content stays in sync as your team updates it — no manual re-indexing needed.

Microsoft Teams Bot

Employees ask questions in Teams channels and DMs. The BeforeQuery bot replies with cited answers from your internal knowledge — right where work already happens.

Role-based Knowledge Access

Engineering answers come from engineering runbooks. HR answers from HR policies. Collections and SSO group permissions ensure each team sees only the knowledge scoped to them.

Onboarding Acceleration

New hires get accurate answers to process, tooling, and policy questions from day one — reducing time-to-productivity without burdening senior staff with repetitive questions.

Frequently asked questions

Can BeforeQuery index our internal SharePoint and Confluence sites?

Yes. BeforeQuery has native connectors for both SharePoint and Confluence. Content is indexed on a schedule and updated incrementally as pages are edited. Access-controlled content can be gated by SSO group membership so employees only see knowledge they are authorized for.

How does access control work for sensitive internal content?

You organize knowledge into collections (Engineering, HR, Finance, IT, etc.) and map each collection to SSO group membership via OIDC or SAML. An employee in the HR group can query the HR collection but not the Engineering collection. Access is enforced at the API level on every query.

Can we deploy the Teams bot for all employees without IT bottlenecks?

Yes. The Teams integration is installed once by an admin and becomes available across all channels and DMs in your tenant. Employees can @mention the bot or use a slash command. No per-user setup is required.

What happens when the bot cannot answer a question?

When confidence falls below your configured threshold, BeforeQuery returns a transparent fallback message pointing the employee to the correct internal team or escalation path. You control the fallback text — typically pointing to your IT helpdesk or the relevant team channel.

Do you support on-premise or VPN-gated internal content?

Yes. Enterprise customers can deploy a private crawler agent inside their network to index content behind a corporate VPN. BeforeQuery also supports IP whitelisting for the crawler. Contact us to discuss your infrastructure requirements.
