Gi: AI Assistant for Employees and Managers

Flexible knowledge management meets behavioral intelligence: an assistant that adapts to every employee's journey.

Gi: AI Assistant for Employees and Managers

When there's a question, Gi has the answer. Gi is the conversational AI assistant employees and managers talk to every day, grounded in your own company knowledge. Behind Gi works a team of four specialised AI Agents that take on the heavy lifting of HR and training. Your organisation's data stays in your organisation.

What Gi does

Gi answers questions about company knowledge, policies, contacts, training and platform use. It learns from the documents, policies and content your organisation defines, and answers based on what your company has set. It does not invent answers.

When a document is the basis for an answer, Gi cites the source so users can read the full context. When Gi does not have enough information, it says so instead of guessing.

Key capabilities

  • Company context: answers grounded in your own documents and platform content

  • 26 languages: replies in the language used in the question

  • Access controls: respects per-group document visibility

  • Source attribution: links to the document that supports the answer

The four AI Agents behind Gi

Gi is one assistant with a team of digital specialists working 24/7. Each agent has a clear role:

  • Learning Designer Agent: generates complete courses from PDFs or a briefing

  • Role-Play Coach Agent: simulates real conversations to train skills

  • Data Analyst Agent: answers people analytics questions in natural language

  • Talent Strategist Agent: reads behavioural archetypes and produces narratives and coaching scripts

Each agent has its own help article in this collection with the detail of what it does and how to use it.

Who Gi is for

Employees: find information about the company mission, values, career progression, compliance policies, benefits, and other common internal questions.

Managers: locate information for talent management, internal mobility, and other people-related decisions.

Where Gi gets its answers

Gi draws on two sources of knowledge inside your GFoundry environment:

  • Uploaded documents: PDFs and similar files that admins add through the backoffice. Can be restricted to specific groups so some content is only available to the users who should see it.

  • Platform content: Gi picks up the editorial content published on your GFoundry platform, including the text of any PDF attachments linked to it. New content becomes available without manual upload.

How knowledge is organised

Each document or content item is assigned to a single knowledge area based on its dominant theme:

  • Human Resources: people policies, benefits, performance reviews, vacation, attendance, career development

  • Organization: mission, values, history, general company information

  • Learning: training calendars, courses, learning programmes, skills development

  • Internal Contacts: staff directories, roles, finding the right person

  • Platform Support: guidance on how to use the GFoundry platform

Gi identifies the topic of each question and looks for the answer in the most relevant area. The result is more precise answers and clear control for admins over what each area knows.

Why this matters for your documents

Because each document lives in a single area, a long master document that mixes several topics will be classified by its dominant theme. Splitting the content into focused, single-topic documents helps Gi reach the right answer reliably.

How Gi adapts answers to each user

Gi can adjust its response based on the employee profile available to the system. The tone and suggestions vary according to the user's stage in the company. For example, a new employee asking about career growth gets onboarding, training and integration steps; a long-tenured employee gets practical actions, well-being resources, or internal mobility opportunities.

Personalisation uses non-identifying attributes (such as tenure band or role family). The AI provider never receives the employee's name or email.

Recommendations for the best results

The way you organise your knowledge has a direct impact on the quality and consistency of Gi's answers.

One document per topic

Prefer short, focused documents over long master files that mix several themes. A document called Vacation and Attendance FAQ will outperform the same content embedded inside a generic Employee FAQ. As a working split for a typical employee FAQ, consider:

  • Platform FAQ: how to log in, register ideas, use recognition, give feedback

  • Vacation and Attendance FAQ: vacation entitlement, absences, flexible hours

  • Insurance and Benefits FAQ: health insurance, benefits, performance bonuses

  • Requests and Declarations FAQ: how to request documents and declarations

Clear, descriptive titles

A title that names the topic explicitly (for example, Vacation Policy 2026) is easier for Gi to route than a generic one (for example, Document 14).

Keep the dominant theme at the top

Lead each document with a short summary of its main topic, then go into the detail. This is especially important for PDFs.

One language per document

Keep one document per language rather than mixing translations in the same file.

Use group segmentation deliberately

Restrict documents to groups only when the content is genuinely confidential or role-specific. Over-restricting reduces the pool of knowledge available to most users.

Retire what is out of date

Outdated documents stay in the knowledge base and can compete with the current source of truth. Delete or update them as part of your normal knowledge-management routine.

Privacy and data handling

Your organisation's data stays in your organisation

Conversations with Gi are stored inside the platform to improve answer quality and to identify gaps in the knowledge base. Administrators can review individual chat sessions in the backoffice as a content-quality tool, not as a surveillance tool. Employees should be made aware of this through a short notice at the chat entry point.

What the AI provider sees

The AI provider (OpenAI API, under a contractual no-training clause) receives the user's question, the relevant document excerpts, and a pseudonymous identifier. It does not receive the user's name, email, or manager name. The provider is contractually prevented from using prompts or responses to train its models.

Document access controls

Group-based document visibility is enforced before any answer is generated. A document that is restricted to a specific group is never used to answer a question from a user outside that group.

Where the data lives

All Gi data, including conversations and the document corpus, stays inside the European Union.

Retention and user rights

Chat history retention is configured per tenant. Employees can request deletion of their chat history through their administrator. The full Data Processing Agreement is available on request.

Managing Gi in the backoffice

Admins have a dedicated area in the backoffice to keep Gi's source content up to date and to monitor how people are interacting with it.

Document management

Create a new document with New Document, then give it a name, upload a file, choose a visibility, and assign a category. Documents can be set to public or private. Public documents are visible to all users; private documents are still used by Gi to generate answers, but users cannot see them in the help center. You can also segment a document by groups.

Chat session review

The chat sessions area lists conversations with the first user message, the date, and the number of interactions. Open View Details to read the full chat history.

Tracking document changes

Each document has a history section that records changes such as file updates, category changes, status updates, and group segmentation changes.

Frequently asked questions

Why does Gi sometimes find an answer only after I rephrase the question?

Rephrasing changes how the question ranks against the available documents. If you see this on a recurring topic, the source document is usually mixed with other themes and would benefit from being split into a focused single-topic document.

Can the same document belong to more than one area?

No. Each document is classified into a single area based on its dominant theme. If a document covers multiple topics, split it into separate single-topic documents.

What is the difference between an uploaded document and platform content?

Uploaded documents are added by admins through the backoffice and typically contain reference material such as manuals, policies, and FAQs. Platform content is the editorial content already published on your GFoundry platform; Gi picks it up automatically. Both are subject to the same group visibility rules.

How long does it take for a new document to be available?

Documents uploaded through the backoffice are available shortly after the indexing job finishes. Editorial content published on the platform is picked up automatically within a day.

What happens if I update a document that Gi already used?

The next time Gi is asked a question that retrieves that document, it will use the updated version. There is no need to clear conversations or restart Gi.

Can users see which document the answer came from?

Yes. When the answer is grounded in a document, Gi includes a link to the source. Restricted documents are not surfaced to users who do not have access.

Does Gi remember previous conversations?

Within a chat session, Gi uses earlier turns as context. Across sessions, conversation history is stored for review by admins and to improve answer quality, but it is not used to retrain the underlying AI model.

What if Gi gives a confidently wrong answer?

Treat it as a signal that the knowledge base needs work. The most common causes are an outdated document still present in the corpus, two documents disagreeing on the same topic, or a master document where the relevant section is buried under unrelated content.

How do I report an issue with Gi to support?

Open a support ticket including the chat session URL (or the timestamp of the conversation), the question, the answer received, and the answer expected. The support team can then trace which documents were retrieved and recommend the right correction.
