Internal chatbot.
Work smarter in minutes.
Policy documents in SharePoint, manuals in the wiki, project data scattered across ten folders. Staff lose valuable hours searching. With an internal chatbot on , you securely connect all those sources. Colleagues simply ask a question and receive a substantiated answer with source references. Fewer errors, full control over your data.
Knowledge at your fingertips with #MIND
Never leaf through folders or wikis again
Automate
The platform searches hundreds of policy documents, proposals and manuals in seconds. No more manual trawling, just an immediate answer with source reference.
Integrate
Secure connections to SharePoint, Confluence, CRMs and legacy systems. Existing roles and permissions stay intact; data never leaves the EU.
Validate
Every answer includes source references. Via the Audit Trail you see exactly which documents were consulted and how the answer was formed. No black box.
Improve
The Skill Builder lets you refine answers based on feedback. You build a reusable knowledge library that grows with your organisation.
Always the right answer, with sources attached.
An internal chatbot is more than a search bar. The platform combines your documents with business logic, so employees find not just information but actionable answers.
Less searching, more doing
Employees type their question and immediately receive a usable answer with source reference. No more interrupted workflows to look something up in SharePoint or the wiki.
Confidence through transparency
Because every answer is traceable via the Audit Trail, teams act more confidently. They see exactly which sources were used and can verify when in doubt.
Compliance without extra effort
The chatbot quotes current legislation and internal guidelines. All data stays within the EU, and you retain full control over access rights per user or team.
Colleagues get answers immediately instead of searching themselves.
Error rates fall by an average of 35%.
Onboarding time shortens by one to two weeks.
Implementation roadmap for an internal chatbot.
An overview of the crucial stepsβfrom source inventory to continuous tuning.
Step 1 β Inventory sources.
We start with a deep-dive workshop: which intranet pages, PDF manuals and shared drives contain critical knowledge? Less is sometimes more; duplicate files are removed immediately.
Step 2 β Set up a secure connection.
OAuth, service accounts, data classificationβit might sound dull, but this layer determines whether the rest will succeed. Security therefore always comes first.
Step 3 β Training round.
The bot learns from the selected documents. We label data, set context boundaries and test response time versus accuracy.
Step 4 β Pilot with power users.
A small group of experienced users asks trickyβand sometimes oddly phrasedβquestions. Their feedback fine-tunes the flows and prevents teething problems.
Step 5 β Roll-out and continuous tuning.
After go-live we measure question patterns, fill gaps and release versions with improved intent detection or fresh integrations such as voice.

A critical look at hype and reality
Chatbots are no magic wand, but they are a lever
We notice that organisations sometimes expect a chatbot to fix every outdated process. That is difficult when the underlying data is messy. In fact, a bot amplifies inconsistencies when sources contradict one another. Data quality therefore deserves priority above all else.
Context is king
Without clear usage guidelines the bot will guess. And guessing on compliance questions? Best avoided.
Setting boundaries
We limit the language model to internal context so nobody is confronted with public internet material out of the blue.
Getting concrete: five practical tips
Start today without drafting a year-long plan
1. Start small; choose a single department. 2. Select high-volume, low-complexity questions (leave, expenses). 3. Document missed answers, then enrich the dataset. 4. Measure adoption through chat logs, not gut feeling. 5. Integrate into the existing chat client, for example Teams.
Looking ahead to the future
From text to multimodal assistance
Within two years we expect speech-driven internal chatbots that generate presentations from raw project data. We are already seeing pilots where augmented-reality glasses project the botβs answers above factory machinesβhandy, but still pricey.
Self-learning compliance
Legislation changes; the next generation of bots will automatically monitor official journals and update policy texts in real time.
Frequently asked questions
Practical answers to the questions we hear most often.
π What exactly is an internal chatbot?
An internal chatbot is an AI-driven conversational partner that answers employeesβ questions based on internal documents such as policy papers, proposals, project reports or legislation. Instead of searching yourself, you simply ask a question in natural language.
π€ How does the bot safeguard sensitive data?
We connect via encrypted APIs, apply strict access rights and log every interaction. In addition, the language model remains in a closed environment; no data are sent to external cloud services without explicit permission.
π How quickly will we see results?
Although exact timing varies per organisation, most notice within a few weeks that repetitive questions are handled more quickly. The immediate saving lies mainly in fewer search hours and a reduction in human errors.
π Which document types can the bot process?
PDFs, Word files, wiki pages, spreadsheets and even structured data from CRM systems. As long as it contains machine-readable text, it can in principle be indexed.
π° Is it expensive to get started?
Costs depend on the number of connections and complexity. A small-scale pilot usually fits within a limited budget. More importantly: you immediately start building a Skills library that you keep using.
π What if the bot gives a wrong answer?
Human validation remains essential. We build feedback buttons so users can immediately indicate when an answer is incorrect. That feedback enters a retraining cycle so the error does not repeat itself.
π Can the bot handle multiple languages as well?
Yes, multilingual models are possible. Bear in mind, however, that the source documents must also be multilingual; otherwise, a knowledge gap will still arise.
π§ What is required on the IT side?
A modern identity provider (Azure AD, Okta), API access to data sources and ideally a dev environment for testing. We also review network architecture to minimise latency and security risks.
π± How scalable is the system?
Thanks to container technology (Docker, Kubernetes) you can scale as usage grows. Adding compute nodes horizontally is usually enough to handle peaks.
π Why choose Spartner over other providers?
We combine AI expertise with knowledge of business processes. All data stays within European data centres. And you get no black box: via the Audit Trail you see exactly what happens.
