Expert knowledge, stored as a graph
Your experienced employees explain their work while they do it, at the screen or with smart glasses. They decide what goes in and check every entry before it is saved. nodessity turns these sessions into a knowledge graph that everyone on the team can ask, the experts included. The knowledge stays in the company when someone changes roles or retires.
How it works
Most of what keeps a company running is not written down. It is held by a few people and passed on in conversation. We capture it from those people, together with the documents they use.
An expert records a session at their own workplace. In the office this is a screen recording with the expert speaking. On the shop floor it is a pair of smart glasses that records what they see and say. A session covers one real task, for example a tool changeover on an injection moulding machine or a quote for a non-standard order. We add the documents, drawings and records the expert refers to during the session.
Why a graph
Asked in a meeting room, an expert describes the general case. Recorded at the machine, the same expert names the exception, the workaround and the reason for it. We capture the second version.
The link between a part, a setting and an exception is in nobody's document. A graph stores that link as a relation and makes it searchable.
A language model given a folder of PDFs guesses. A language model given checked statements with sources repeats them. The graph is that input.
The graph is built from your knowledge and belongs to you. It runs in your own cloud account or on a server on your premises, and we work within GDPR.
