PACKAGED OFFER · CONVERSATIONAL AI ASSISTANT

Conversational AI assistant development

Generic chatbots invent answers and erode trust. This build delivers a grounded assistant that draws only from your approved content, returns citations, refuses when it lacks a basis, and hands off cleanly to a human on the cases it should not handle alone. In ten weeks you go from scattered knowledge to a governed assistant running in a real channel, measured on answer quality and deflection rather than demo polish.

  • A grounded assistant that retrieves from your documents and systems, so answers trace to a source
  • Citations on every response, with a refusal path when the assistant lacks a confident basis
  • An evaluation harness that keeps the assistant honest as your content changes
WHAT YOU GET

An assistant you can actually stand behind.

You get a working assistant, the guardrails that make it safe to expose, and the evaluation harness that keeps it accurate as content changes.

Six concrete deliverables land by launch, each built to survive contact with real users rather than a staged demo.

DELIVERABLE 01

Grounded assistant

Retrieves from your documents and systems, so every answer traces back to a source you approved.

DELIVERABLE 02

Citations and refusal path

A citation on every response, and a clean refusal when the assistant lacks a confident basis to answer.

DELIVERABLE 03

Guardrails

Topic boundaries, tone controls, sensitive-content handling, and prompt-injection defences.

DELIVERABLE 04

Human handoff

Escalation that carries full context to a person, with no dead ends on the cases it should not own.

DELIVERABLE 05

Evaluation harness

Scoring for accuracy, groundedness, and coverage against a test set you approve.

DELIVERABLE 06

Channel deployment

Live in one channel, web, internal portal, or messaging, with usage and quality analytics.

Generic chatbots invent answers. A grounded assistant answers only from what it can cite.

WHO IT IS FOR

Teams answering the same questions from scattered knowledge.

For customer support, internal help desks, HR and IT service teams, and regulated functions where a wrong answer carries real cost.

If your knowledge exists but nobody can find it fast, and you need an assistant you can actually stand behind, this build is scoped for you. It draws on our grounded retrieval practice, and where the assistant must operate under financial-services controls it extends into conversational banking.
