KNOWLEDGE ASSISTANT PREPARATION · Workflow idea

Shape a helpful guide around the information your team keeps.

Start with a team’s approved knowledge collection and prepare a question-answering experience that understands how its information is organized. Make the intended audience and reference links clear, then have a knowledge owner review the result and test representative questions before teammates rely on it.

01 / The starting point

A clear request.
A useful direction.

A reference collection selected by its owner for a question-answering experience

“Prepare a tailored knowledge assistant for the selected collection, check that it points to relevant source pages, and hold access and use for owner review.”
An example request · Make it specific to your team.

02 / The work

5 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Helps teams make their own reference material easier to ask questions about while keeping answers connected to the source pages.

  1. Choose the collection and intended audience

    Select the team references in scope and state which people may ask questions about them.

  2. Review how the information is organized

    Check the collection’s labels and categories so the proposed experience reflects how teammates find and discuss its content.

  3. Prepare representative answers

    Try common questions and keep the source pages visible so a reviewer can confirm what supports each answer.

  4. Check privacy and access boundaries

    Confirm that restricted pages stay limited to their approved audience and that answers do not reveal unrelated information.

  5. Approve before team or external use

    Have the collection owner review examples, sources, audience, and permissions before enabling use or sharing responses outside the team.

03 / The result

Something useful.
Something to build on.

The handoff

A proposed assistant experience with sample answers, source references, and audience boundaries, ready for a knowledge owner to approve.

Keep in mind

A tailored assistant may misunderstand labels, overlook content, or surface a page to someone who should not see it. Have the collection owner verify the intended scope, permissions, source links, and sample answers; require a person to approve access changes and any sensitive or external response.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Identify the collection owner and purpose

Name who maintains the selected information and what questions the proposed experience should help answer.

Define the allowed audience and content

Choose which people and reference pages are in scope, and document any restricted or sensitive material.

Set source and answer review expectations

Require source links, make uncertainty visible, and assign an owner to check answers that may affect access, finances, or external commitments.

Test common and sensitive questions

Review typical, unclear, and restricted requests to confirm answers are grounded in approved sources and sensitive matters reach a person.
