What is Ask by Slite?
Ask by Slite is an AI-powered knowledge base assistant that provides instant answers to questions by searching through your company's trusted information across multiple sources. Instead of manually searching through endless docs and reading through them, Ask surfaces the exact information you need in an instant by cross-checking your sources to give accurate answers.
Key features include connecting all your apps (Slack, Notion, Confluence, Google Drive, SharePoint, Linear, Github, and more), filtering sources to ensure trusted answers with verified documents, a Chrome extension to stay in your workflow without leaving your browser, and automatic Slack integration that listens to conversations in Slack channels and answers them straightaway without even being triggered. Ask also identifies knowledge gaps by highlighting when answers seem wrong or outdated, suggests questions based on your team's content when you type keywords, supports multiple languages with automatic translation, and allows you to request specific formats like bullet points or newbie explanations.
Ask is designed for AI-forward teams, IT & Operations teams, Product & Engineering teams, Customer Support teams, and Human Resources teams who need a self-maintaining knowledge base. It works only with your data securely separated from everyone else's, accesses only documents you can view based on your permissions, and helps reduce repeated questions by 90% while making team onboarding 75% faster and team meetings 3x more productive.
