Reinventing Document Search with Generative AI: Meet ExpertRec AskAI

In today’s digital age, the way people search for information has changed dramatically. Users no longer want to sift through endless PDFs, manuals, or help articles. They want instant, conversational answers—the kind that feels like asking a knowledgeable colleague.

That’s why ExpertRec is introducing AskAI for Document Search: a generative AI assistant built to make documentation, AI knowledge bases, and support libraries truly interactive. By blending ExpertRec’s fast, multilingual indexing with the intelligence of modern AI models, AskAI delivers the answers your users need—clearly, quickly, and with citations from your own content.

Why Generative AI for Documentation and Support?

Traditional document search has always been about matching keywords. While that works for simple queries, it breaks down when:

  • The user doesn’t know the right keywords.
  • The content spans multiple long PDFs or Word files.
  • The answer is buried deep in technical documentation.
  • The user is in a hurry and wants the “short version.”

This is especially true in support environments, where customers are often frustrated and want immediate help. If they can’t find answers quickly, they either abandon your site or flood your support team with repetitive questions.

Generative AI solves this by letting people ask questions naturally and get direct answers, instead of browsing through dozens of documents in an AI knowledge base.

Meet ExpertRec AskAI

ExpertRec AskAI is a conversational search assistant designed specifically for:

  • Documentation: Developer guides, product manuals, policy handbooks.
  • Support Content: AI knowledge bases, FAQs, troubleshooting steps.
  • General Document Search: PDFs, Word files, Excel sheets, and more.

Instead of just returning a list of documents, AskAI provides:

  • Concise answers generated from your content.
  • Citations that show where the answer came from.
  • Follow-up conversations to refine or clarify.

How It Works

ExpertRec AskAI combines two powerful layers:

ExpertRec Document Search

  • Indexes all your content (PDFs, Word docs, FAQs, spreadsheets).
  • Supports 30+ languages.
  • Updates in real-time as documents change.

Generative AI Layer

  • Retrieves the most relevant passages.
  • Generates a natural, conversational answer.
  • Provides citations so the user can click into the original document or AI knowledge base if needed.

This creates an experience that’s not just faster—but also more trustworthy and transparent.

Use Cases in Action

  • Customer Support: Instead of clicking through FAQs, a customer simply asks, “How can I update my billing address?” and gets an answer in seconds from your AI knowledge base.
  • Product Documentation: Developers ask, “What parameters does the API pagination accept?” and see the exact excerpt with a code snippet.
  • Education: Students query, “What’s the definition of osmosis?” and AskAI highlights the section from the study material.
  • Legal/Policy Docs: A lawyer asks, “Which clauses mention data privacy?” and jumps directly to the relevant sections of the contract.
