Wiki Chatbot
An intelligent AI assistant that connects to GitBook knowledge bases and provides instant, accurate answers through Slack. Built with vector search technology and OpenAI integration for seamless knowledge access.
The Challenge
Organizations struggle with knowledge accessibility - valuable information sits locked in documentation while teams waste time searching for answers or asking repetitive questions.
Knowledge Fragmentation
Important information scattered across multiple documentation platforms, making it difficult for teams to find relevant answers quickly.
Time-Consuming Searches
Team members spending significant time manually searching through documentation instead of focusing on productive work.
Repetitive Questions
Same questions being asked repeatedly in team channels, creating noise and interrupting workflow for knowledge holders.
Context Loss
Difficulty finding relevant context and related information when searching through traditional documentation interfaces.
The Solution
We built an intelligent Wiki Chatbot that transforms how teams access and interact with their knowledge base, providing instant, contextual answers through familiar Slack interfaces.
GitBook Integration
Connected to the GitBook API to extract and synchronize knowledge base content, ensuring the chatbot always has access to the latest documentation.
Vector Database Creation
Processed and vectorized all knowledge base content, creating semantic embeddings that enable intelligent search and context understanding with references back to original sources.
Search Service Development
Built a robust search service that exposes the vector database, enabling fast semantic queries and retrieving the most relevant knowledge base entries.
AI Query Processing
Integrated OpenAI models to analyze user questions, search for relevant content, and generate comprehensive answers with proper source references and context.
Slack Bot Integration
Deployed as a Slack application that monitors channels, proactively answers questions, and provides instant access to knowledge base information within team workflows.
