MODULE · Conversational knowledge base

Upload manuals, policies, contracts, regulations, FAQs. ARIknow organizes them into separate Knowledge Bases with independent permissions. Your teams find what they need with a single question: answers always cite the original source, but each person only gets the answers they are authorized to see.

Everyone sees only what they should
Knowledge Bases with independent permissions: each person finds only the documents they are authorized to access.
Every answer cites its source
One click and you open the original document. No made-up answers: everything is verifiable.
Always aligned to the latest version
Add or remove documents without re-indexing everything. Your knowledge stays up to date.
How permissions work
Knowledge Bases are organized into tree hierarchies. You assign a permission to the parent node and it propagates automatically to all descendants, without configuring them one by one.
Knowledge Base — Company
Root knowledge base
HR
Direct access assigned to the user
HR Policy
Access inherited from parent
HR Contracts
Access inherited from parent
Legal
No access
Technical Manuals
No access
Example: the user has direct access only to "HR" — but automatically inherits access to all its child Knowledge Bases ("HR Policy", "HR Contracts"), with no additional permissions needed. "Legal" and "Technical Manuals" stay out of reach because they are not descendants of an authorized node.
Same question, different answers based on access.
User A
Knowledge Base access: HR
"What is the vacation policy?"
Vacation accrues at 2 days per month and must be requested at least 5 days in advance via the HR portal.
📄 HR Policy — Sec. 3.2 Leave and time off
User B
Knowledge Base access: Legal
"What is the vacation policy?"
I found no information on this topic in the Knowledge Bases you have access to ("Legal"). Try contacting the HR team or request access to the right Knowledge Base.
Technical specs
Vector (Semantic)
Search by semantic similarity via embeddings. Finds conceptually relevant documents even without exact keywords.
BM25 (Keyword)
Classic lexical search. Complements vector search to capture specific terms, codes, proper nouns.
Hybrid (combined)
ARI merges the two retrieval signals to maximize precision and recall on any type of query.
Features with ARIflow
With ARIflow, your knowledge base becomes the engine for workflows, decisions and automations. Modules can be purchased individually: ARIflow is optional and expands their capabilities.
Custom ingest
Custom chunking and PDF normalization. Automatic re-indexing when data changes.
Custom retrieval
Re-ranking, metadata filters, proprietary hybrid logic: all configurable without leaving the platform.
Reuse of the same Knowledge Bases
Knowledge Bases feed other ARI workflows: automations, reports, decision processes, without duplicating data or logic.
Local embeddings via ARIrun
Zero egress: embeddings computed locally. Compatible with air-gapped deployments.
Modules can be purchased individually. ARIflow is optional and expands each module's capabilities.
Features
Ask a question in natural language: ARIknow retrieves the relevant passages in your knowledge base and builds the answer, always citing the documents each statement comes from.
Multiple, Hierarchical Knowledge Bases
Namespaces organizable as a tree. A query targets one or more namespaces: to separate policies, manuals, contracts and control who sees what.
Citations and Traceability
Each answer is linked to the original document passage the information comes from: one click takes you straight to the source. The LLM cannot cite what it did not retrieve: every statement is traceable and verifiable.
Roles per single Knowledge Base
Every user can search freely within Knowledge Bases and answers are built only on the Knowledge Bases they have access to. Knowledge Bases can be organized into hierarchies: access to the parent node = access to all its children.
Multi-format
PDF, Word, Markdown, HTML, plain text. ARIknow handles any text format on ingestion, with no manual conversion pipeline.
Incremental updates
Add, edit or remove documents without re-indexing the entire corpus. Automatic updates for corpora that change frequently.

* An "indexed document" is a file present in the index, regardless of the Knowledge Base or its position in the hierarchy. A document uploaded to multiple Knowledge Bases is counted only once. Documents over 50 pages are counted as ⌈pages/50⌉ standard documents. The tier is based on the peak number of indexed documents during the billing period.
