Frequently asked questions about Pipeshub Ai
Will PipesHub expose internal data to people who shouldn't see it?
No. PipesHub has strict access controls. It only shows users the information they already have permission to see in your existing business apps. Source-level permissions ensure every document is shown only to those who are authorized, with native permission sync across every business tool.
What happens to our company data if we choose the self-hosted version?
In self-hosted mode, your data stays completely within your infrastructure. PipesHub doesn't have access to any of your data. You deploy it locally or on your own cloud using Docker Compose, giving you full control over where your data resides.
Is PipesHub compliant with enterprise privacy and data retention standards?
Yes. PipesHub honors source app retention rules and access policies. It's designed to support GDPR, CCPA, and other compliance frameworks out of the box. The platform is secure by design with SOC 2 Type I compliance in place and SOC 2 Type II controls actively in progress.
How does PipesHub understand what I'm really looking for?
PipesHub uses context-aware AI that understands how your teams work—prioritizing relevance based on roles, past activity, and enterprise knowledge structure. The Company Knowledge Graph automatically maps people, content, permissions, and relationships so the AI understands your organization like an insider. Results are ranked by relevance to the user using a Page ranking algorithm.
Can PipesHub summarize documents or give answers instead of just showing links?
Yes. PipesHub uses retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), Knowledge Graphs and Agentic Retrieval to find the most relevant content and summarize it in a conversational format, with context and citations. Every response includes citations with direct links to the exact paragraph in the source document, so there's no guesswork.
Does PipesHub adapt to my organization's language and structure?
Absolutely. Over time, PipesHub learns your internal vocabulary, project tags, and common queries—making results smarter for your team. The Company Knowledge Graph automatically maps your organization's structure, and the AI understands how your teams work based on roles and past activity.
What kind of apps or agents can I build on top of PipesHub?
You can build AI-powered agents for sales enablement, product onboarding, internal support, and more—thanks to the modular architecture and APIs. Using the No-Code Agent Flow Builder, you can design workflows with PipesHub Agents built on top of PipesHub Actions that connect with enterprise apps to automate any task, from sending follow-ups to updating tickets.
What types of integrations are available with PipesHub?
PipesHub integrates with major platforms like Confluence, Google Workspace (Drive, Gmail, Calendar, Docs, Meet, Sheets), Slack, Microsoft 365 (SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams, Outlook, Planner), Jira, Notion, GitHub, GitLab, Linear, Zendesk, Airtable, Box, Dropbox, ServiceNow, BookStack, and cloud storage including S3, Azure Blob Storage, and GCP. New connectors are regularly added, with Salesforce, BitBucket, HubSpot, and Docusign coming soon.
Can PipesHub handle both structured and unstructured content?
Yes. Whether it's spreadsheets, wiki pages, chat threads, PDFs, product docs, Word documents, Excel sheets, images, or notes from OneNote, PipesHub indexes and understands them all. The platform turns scattered silos into a structured knowledge base that teams can navigate with unified search.
How do I start using PipesHub in my company?
You just connect your tools through the intuitive dashboard. Most teams are up and running within a couple of hours. Getting started requires git clone && docker compose. After the Docker build is up, open the UI via localhost:3000, select Individual or Enterprise account type, complete onboarding by filling in required information, and configure your AI model (required) and optional connectors, storage, and SMTP settings.
