01 Ask Company knowledge, cited

Ask anything your company already knows.

Ashsyn reads the policies, contracts and SOPs already sitting in your drives and wikis, and answers in plain sentences. Every sentence points to the document, section and page it came from.

What's our leave policy for contract staff?

2 passages from documents you can open · 0.9s

Contract staff get 12 days of paid leave per year, credited monthly. Unused leave does not carry over. Leave above 3 days needs approval from the project manager.

  • [2] Contractor Engagement SOP, v3, "Approvals", paragraph 2

Every answer shows where it came from.

Citations down to the page

Each sentence in an answer carries a small red number. The number names the document, the section and the page, and hovering it shows the exact passage the sentence was written from. Click through and the source opens at that spot, in the system it already lives in.

If you can't check it, you can't trust it.

An answer about leave, money or a client contract has consequences. People need to see the clause before they act on it, and so does the auditor who asks later. Ashsyn makes checking take one hover instead of one afternoon.

You only get answers from what you could already open.

Ashsyn does not keep its own idea of who can see what. It reads the sharing settings in Drive, SharePoint, Confluence and Notion, and checks them again each time someone asks.

Who sees whatThe HR folder connects only to the HR partner. The Finance folder connects only to the finance analyst.

Mirrors your sharing

If a folder is shared with the HR team only, only the HR team gets answers from it.

No hints either

A restricted document is never quoted, summarised or named to someone who can't open it.

05

When your documents don't cover it, it says so.

Can I work remotely from abroad for a month?

Not found in your documents

I couldn't find a policy on remote work from abroad in the documents you can access. The closest is the Travel Policy, section 2, which covers business travel only.1

Ashsyn reads the files and their sharing settings. A folder of a few hundred documents is ready in minutes.

Step 3

Ask and check

Invite the people who answer the same questions every week. Ask, hover the citations, and compare.

The questions that used to go to someone's inbox.

Each one has an answer in a document somewhere. Finding it was the hard part.

Your documents stay yours.

  • Access follows existing permissions

    Nobody sees answers from documents they can't open in the original system.

  • Written only from your documents

    Every answer is cited. If nothing relevant is found, it says so.

  • Never used to train other customers' models

    Your documents and questions are not used to train models for anyone else.

  • Encrypted in transit and at rest

    TLS on every connection, encrypted storage for the index and the audit log.

  • Remove a source, remove its index

    Admins can disconnect a source at any time, and its index is deleted with it.

  • Every question is logged

    Admins can see who asked what, and which sources were used to answer.

Asked before you sign up.

How is this different from searching the drive?

Search returns a list of files and leaves the reading to you. Ashsyn reads the relevant passages across every connected source, writes the answer in a few sentences, and shows exactly where each sentence came from.

What happens when two documents disagree?

Both are cited, with their titles and dates, and the answer says that they disagree. It doesn't pick a winner silently. The usual fix is to retire the older document, which the admin view makes easy to spot.

Can someone see an answer from a folder they don't have access to?

No. Access is checked against the source system on every question. If a person can't open a document in Drive, SharePoint, Confluence or Notion, it is not used, quoted or named in their answer.

Does it work with scanned PDFs?

Yes. Text is read from the page images, so scanned policies and signed contracts can be cited down to the page.

Are our documents used to train AI models?

Your documents and questions are never used to train models for other customers.

How long does the trial last?

14 days for up to 20 people, with no card needed. At the end you choose a plan or the workspace and its index are deleted.
