Introduction and Goals

10Clouds presents a state-of-the-art AI Assistant designed to enhance knowledge retrieval and customer support within organizations. Our solution boasts a versatile and customizable chatbot that integrates seamlessly with popular business tools like Slack, Confluence, and Google Drive. This case study explores the journey from conception to delivery, underscoring our commitment to continuous improvement and customer satisfaction through an AI-integrated, agile, user-centered development process.

As businesses accumulate vast reservoirs of data, employees often face challenges when attempting to access and utilize this information effectively. The same applies to digital products' end-users.

Recognizing these pain points, 10Clouds set out to create an AI Assistant that could serve as a bridge between users and the knowledge they require, doing so with the utmost efficiency and precision.

Challenges

10Clouds identified the need for an AI-powered assistant that is adept at sifting through extensive corporate databanks to deliver accurate, up-to-date information quickly. The challenge was not just to create an AI assistant but to tailor it to align with the diverse requirements of varying business environments.

The creation of this tool entailed multiple phases, which included extracting data from the Confluence API and storing it in a PostgreSQL database. Following that, we cleaned the data of HTML tokens and incorporated it into Pinecone utilizing the Llama-index, a library designed for data importation.

The AI Assistant needed to use a sophisticated system to extract relevant data from integrated sources such as Slack, Confluence, and Google Drive. Thus, the tool leverages RAG for enhanced precision in presenting information by understanding context and nuances within queries.

Upon integration, the AI needs to keep its knowledge base current without manual intervention, ensuring users have immediate access to the latest information. This characteristic is particularly beneficial for businesses with rapidly evolving data landscapes.

In line with 10Clouds' Agile Product Delivery Method, initial product discovery sessions included defining user personas, pain points, and the envisioned user journey. Regular feedback loops with early adopters and stakeholders were crucial for aligning the product's features with actual user needs.
