We just released a new feature for Slite, Ask, in private beta.

Slite is a team workspace that hosts all kinds of knowledge: wiki, docs, projects, discussions, and decisions. When we started playing with ChatGPT, we really wanted to offer a similar experience, by basing answers on your team documents.

It felt like a parallel change of paradigm: ChatGPT to get answers from the web, Ask to get answers from your internal knowledge.

The technology under the hood is of course different: It uses GPT3 and advanced semantic search, with special ponderation based on your team activity, document linkage and so on. And of course it respects privacy - its answers are only based on what you can access.

The interface is less conversational - for now. But it's already a massive upgrade from your classic search experience, and it goes beyond that. You can really ask it anything, even stuff that's not specifically documented. The engine will look at various sources and compile them to answer.

First testers love it, and we believe it can radically change the way we work with documentation in the future. Check it out!
