AI-Powered Internal Support Assistant: RAG-Based Knowledge Base with Screenshot Recognition

Transform Your Customer Support with Intelligent AI Automation

Overview

Modern support teams face a common challenge: quickly finding accurate answers from extensive documentation while maintaining response quality. Our AI-powered internal support assistant solves this by combining retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) with multi-modal AI capabilities, enabling support agents to instantly query company knowledge bases using text or screenshots.

The Challenge: Why Companies Need AI Support Assistants

Support teams typically struggle with:

• Information Overload: Scattered documentation across multiple PDFs, wikis, and documents

• Response Time Pressure: Customers expect quick, accurate answers

• Knowledge Retention: High turnover means constant retraining

• Multilingual Support: Serving international customers in multiple languages

• Screenshot Analysis: Understanding customer issues from visual information

Traditional knowledge bases require manual searching, leading to inconsistent answers and longer resolution times. An AI support assistant eliminates these bottlenecks.
