The problem

AI assistants
you can't trust

Issue
Chatbots hallucinate answers disconnected from real knowledge
Issue
No structure for teams, environments, or rollout workflows
Issue
Token costs are invisible until the bill arrives
Issue
No safe way to test before exposing to real users
Issue
Provider lock-in with no per-chatbot cost attribution
How AskTheBot solves it

Structured knowledge.
Measurable results.

Organization → Team → Environment

Clear ownership at every level.

Dedicated knowledge bases per scope

Each team and environment gets its own structured knowledge.

Playground testing before rollout

Validate chatbot behavior safely first.

Token and cost analytics

See exactly what's used, what it costs, and where.

Your provider keys, your cost

Use your own OpenAI, Anthropic, or other credentials.

Structured at every level

One workspace.
Complete governance.

AskTheBot organizes everything from the top down: your organization contains teams, teams own environments, environments host knowledge bases, and knowledge bases power chatbots. Every resource has a clear owner.

Organization

Parse, clean, chunk

Step 3

Embed

Vector encoding

Step 4

Index

Store & optimise

Platform features

Everything to run AI
in production

Chatbot management

Create, edit, activate, and manage chatbots with configurable model and retrieval behavior per environment.

Knowledge bases

Create dedicated, scoped knowledge bases for teams and environments. Separate production from staging.

Document ingestion

Add content from file uploads, URLs, pasted text, and structured Q&A pairs. Multiple sources, one pipeline.

Training pipeline

Documents move through transform, embedding, indexing, retry, and cleanup workflows automatically.

Teams and environments

Organize assistants by team and by dev, staging, and production environments with clear ownership.

Retrieval quality controls

Hybrid retrieval, reranking, query transformation, multi-query, routing, top-k, and context token controls.

Playground testing

Test conversations in an isolated playground before deploying. Validate behavior before users see it.

Usage analytics

Track requests, tokens, and cost over time. Filter by chatbot, team, environment, or time range.

Cost attribution

Break down usage by chatbot, knowledge base, model, day, and source. No more mystery cloud bills.

AI provider flexibility

Use organization-level provider API keys or fall back to managed gateway billing seamlessly.

Security and governance

Keys stored encrypted. Organization roles, invitations, and controlled access to all resources.

Multi-tenant collaboration

Invite members, manage roles, create teams, and operate shared AI systems with clear ownership.

Retrieval pipeline

How answers get
grounded in your knowledge

Every query passes through a configurable retrieval chain — from expansion to reranking — before the LLM sees a single token.

Query

User input

Transform

Multi-query expansion

Hybrid Search

Vector + keyword

Reranker

Cross-encoder scoring

Generate

LLM with context

Answer

Grounded response

Fully configurable

Each strategy can be toggled independently per chatbot.

Quality over speed

Reranking improves answer relevance beyond raw vector similarity.

Context window control

Cap retrieval tokens to fit your model's context budget.

How it works

From knowledge to
production in five steps

A clear, repeatable workflow for building, testing, and operating AI assistants at any scale.

Step 01

Create organization, teams, and environments

Set up your workspace. Invite members, define teams, and create dev, staging, and production environments to keep things clean.

Step 02

Add knowledge bases and ingest documents

Build your knowledge foundation. Upload files, paste text, add URLs, or structure Q&A pairs. The training pipeline handles the rest.

Step 03

Configure chatbot retrieval and model behavior

Wire up your chatbot. Choose the model, attach knowledge bases, tune retrieval strategies, and set context token limits.

Step 04

Test in the playground

Run test conversations in an isolated playground. Validate answers, check retrieval quality, and iterate before rollout.

Step 05

Launch and monitor usage, tokens, and cost

Go live and watch the dashboards. Track requests, token consumption, and cost attribution in real time.
