Knowledge management with AI: one shared source

What this is

Knowledge sits everywhere — Drive, SharePoint, Slack, mailboxes, heads. Every search takes minutes and ends half-successful. OpenBase consolidates all those sources, indexes them and makes them controllably accessible — with source references on every answer. The result is a company wiki that builds itself.

How it looks in the workspace

1. Connect sources — OAuth sign-in to Slack, Google Drive, SharePoint and HubSpot is enough. OpenBase indexes read-only.
2. Define areas — Who sees what? Areas and roles are set up in minutes.
3. Ask in chat — Just ask. The answer comes back with a reference to the Google Drive document or Slack thread.
4. Keep knowledge current — OpenBase flags when sources look stale or contradict each other.

Why it pays off

• Onboarding new hires accelerates by 3-5x.
• No more "ask Tina" — the answer lives in the workspace.
• Sources cited instead of hallucinated answers.
• Clear permissions, no accidental data spillover.

What you need to start

An OpenBase workspace, your brand voice calibrated in five answers and at least one relevant connector (e.g. Slack, Google Workspace or HubSpot). Nothing more required.
