Prompt
Can you recommend a knowledge base assistant for policy lookup and case resolution guidance?
Latest observation
Yes — if you want a knowledge base assistant for policy lookup and case-resolution guidance, I’d look for a tool that combines:
- Semantic search / AI Q&A over your internal docs
- Citations/source links for every answer
- Role-based access control so users only see what they’re allowed to
- Feedback loops to improve answers over time
- Workflow integration with your case/ticketing system
Good options to consider
1) Microsoft Copilot Studio + SharePoint / Azure AI Search
Best if your org is already in Microsoft 365.
Pros
- Strong enterprise security and permissions
- Works well with SharePoint, Teams, and Microsoft data sources
- Good for internal policy lookup and guided workflows
Cons
- Can take some setup
- Best experience usually depends on Microsoft ecosystem adoption
2) Guru
Best for an internal knowledge base with fast, reliable answer surfacing.
Pros
- Strong search and knowledge capture
- Great for teams using Slack/Chrome
- Good for policy and process documentation
Cons
- Less of a full case-resolution workflow engine
- AI depth may be lighter than some newer platforms
3) Glean
Best for enterprise-wide knowledge discovery and answer assistance.
Pros
- Excellent semantic search across many apps
- Good permissions-aware results
- Strong for “find the right policy fast” use cases
Cons
- More enterprise-focused, can be costly
- Best value when you have many connected systems
4) Zendesk AI / Salesforce Einstein / ServiceNow Knowledge
Best if your cases already live in a support platform.
Pros
- Native linkage between knowledge and case handling
- Helpful for agent assist and suggested next steps
- Better for resolution guidance than a standalone KB
Cons
- Tied to the platform ecosystem
- Knowledge management may be less flexible than a dedicated KB tool
5) Intercom Fin
Best for support teams handling customer-facing resolutions.
Pros
- Fast AI answers from your help center
- Good for support workflows and deflection
- Easy to deploy
Cons
- More customer support oriented than policy governance
- Less ideal for complex internal policy lookup
My shortlist by use case
- Internal policy lookup across many systems: Glean
- Microsoft-heavy environment: Copilot Studio
- Support agents resolving cases in a ticketing system: Zendesk / ServiceNow / Salesforce
- Simple internal KB with lightweight AI assistant: Guru
- Customer support automation: Intercom Fin
What I’d recommend most
If your need is specifically policy lookup + case-resolution guidance, the best fit is often:
- ServiceNow if you need structured case workflows and enterprise governance
- Zendesk if your support operations are already there
- Glean if you want a cross-system knowledge assistant for employees
- Copilot Studio if you’re in Microsoft 365 and want a customizable internal assistant
Questions to narrow it down
If you want, I can recommend the best option based on:
- Is this for employees, agents, or customers?
- What systems do you use now — SharePoint, Confluence, Zendesk, ServiceNow, Salesforce, Slack, Teams?
- Do you need answers with citations and strict permission controls?
- Are you looking for a buy option or something you can build/customize?
If you answer those, I can give you a more precise recommendation.
