Knowledge assistant with LangChain & Milvus The answer is in the manual. Page 214. Somewhere.
Support, sales and engineering search PDFs, wikis and data sheets every day. We build knowledge assistants that answer only from approved documents, show the source and say when something is not in there.
Is the VX-200 valve approved for chlorine at 60 °C?
Yes, up to 70 °C, but only with an EPDM seal.Source: VX-200 data sheet, rev. 3, table 2
And for ozone?
The approved documents say nothing about that. Shall I pass the question to engineering?
The problem
An answer should not take half an hour.
Today
- Jumping between PDFs, wiki and data sheets.
- Ctrl+F in the wrong document. Again.
- Waiting until the one person who knows has time.
- Piecing fragments together and hoping they are current.
With a knowledge assistant
- Ask in plain language.
- Get a short answer with a source.
- Open the source directly and check it yourself.
- Know clearly when the answer is not in the documents.
Your company knowledge is under lock and key? We find the key.
Manuals, data sheets and policies become searchable, and every answer shows where it was found.
How it works
Three steps to answers with sources.
-
Connect sources
PDF, Word, Excel, Confluence, SharePoint or Drive. Links to the original passage are kept, and so are access rights.
-
Make it searchable
Semantic search for meaning, keyword search for part numbers and exact clauses. Milvus holds the vectors, LangChain runs the flow.
-
Ask and check
Read the answer, open the source. If nothing is found, the assistant says so instead of guessing.
Where it helps
Wherever the answer is buried in documents.
-
Customer support
Product, warranty and policy questions without switching between colleagues and folders. For example: “Does the warranty cover outdoor use?”
-
Engineering
Specifications, procedures and compatibility. For example: “Which seal kit fits the X700 pump series, rev. B?”
-
Compliance
Clauses, certificates and retention periods, with the source. For example: “How long do we keep customer data according to policy?”
-
Sales
Terms, pricing rules and features for quotes. For example: “Which volume discounts apply to framework contracts?”
