In today's fast-paced work environment, information overload can make it challenging to find the information you need quickly. Research shows that knowledge workers spend 1 to 3 hours per day looking for information and documents. A big chunk of that time is spent understanding their organization's internal knowledge base. This process can be time-consuming, frustrating, and inefficient. That's why I created mindmate, an AI-powered assistant that helps users make sense of their company's internal knowledge base. With mindmate, users can easily search their company's internal knowledge base and receive answers to their questions in plain English using a simple chatbot interface. I built a proof of concept using GitLab's employee handbook during the hackathon. I created a simple yet powerful tool that allows users to ask questions and receive natural language answers by processing the handbook's 3,000 pages, creating embeddings with Cohere, storing them with Qdrant, and leveraging Cohere's text generation capabilities. mindmate is easy to use and provides quick access to information related to a variety of topics, including company policies, benefits, and more. By tailoring search results to each user's specific needs, mindmate helps knowledge workers save time and stay focused on their core responsibilities.
