# Introduction to Ask Eve AI

Welcome to the world of Ask Eve AI, affectionately known as **Evie**—a cutting-edge AI solution 
designed to revolutionise how businesses interact with information. Whether enhancing customer 
experiences, boosting internal efficiency, or empowering specialised teams, Evie is here to unlock 
the full potential of your organisation’s knowledge and to assist you and your teams in everyday 
tasks.

## What is Evie?

Evie is an Agentic AI assistant tailored to your unique business needs. By leveraging advanced AI 
techniques, she transforms complex information into natural, engaging dialogues. Unlike generic 
chatbots, Evie is deeply integrated into your specific knowledge base, offering precise, 
traceable, and contextual responses.
Using agentic AI techniques, Evie can automate repetitive tasks, improve internal productivity, 
and empower your teams with expertise.

Here’s how Evie stands out:
- **Custom Knowledge Integration**: Evie learns from your documents, intranet, website, and other sources, providing responses grounded in your organisation’s information.
- **Conversational AI**: Interact with Evie just like you would with a colleague. She understands context, remembers past interactions, and responds naturally.
- **Agentic Behaviour**: Evie goes beyond just conversations. She can perform smart actions based on your information or based on the conversation. We are gradually extending Evie's possibilities by transforming the knowledge of our partners into intelligent specialists (Agentic AI).
- **Multilingual Capabilities**: Evie breaks language barriers, understanding and responding in multiple languages based on your business requirements.

## Key Features and Benefits

### Enhanced Customer Experience
The tables have turned, and a new human-computer interaction paradigm is taking the world by storm. In the recent past 
end users (internal or external) were left to interact with information — abundantly available in digital format — having 
to learn to talk to computers. Now, we can interact with information systems by using human language. Evie fully embraces 
this new paradigm and transforms the way people interact with your business. Moreover, Evie is available 24/7, 365 days a year, 
and can be accessed from anywhere.

### Boosted Internal Productivity
Internally, Evie acts as a conversational hub for your organisation. Employees can quickly find policies, data, and other 
resources using simple language, reducing time spent searching for information and improving productivity. Evie also exposes
an API, enabling you to integrate Evie into your internal tools.

### Expertise On Demand
Evie serves as an always-on expert assistant, making specialised knowledge instantly accessible across your organisation. 
This democratises access to expertise and allows your human experts to focus on high-value tasks.

### Automated Tasks
Throughout their history, computers have enabled automation of tasks. LLMs and AI Agents allow for deeper automation, 
especially in cases where human-like interactions are essential. This is where Evie steps in. It doesn't aim to replace
existing technology. It enables to automate tasks that are very dependent on human language, integrating with already
existing technology, improving internal productivity and reducing human error.

## Why Choose Evie?

Evie is more than a chatbot; she’s an intelligent information assistant designed to adapt to your needs:
- **Transparency**: Evie provides citations for her answers, enabling users to verify information at its source.
- **Customization**: From integration with specific platforms to tailoring conversational styles, Evie is built to align with your unique environment.

## How Does Evie Work?

At the heart of Evie, we use state of the art technology to automate beyond classic systems.

### Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)
Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) is a powerful technique that enables us to ensure Evie's interactions are embedded
in your organisation's information (when required). It prevents the system from ***hallucinating***.
Think of Evie as a hyper-intelligent librarian, organising your knowledge in a way that makes it easy to find relevant information. 
As a librarian, Evie has some essential talents:

1. **Efficient Knowledge Storage**: Evie stores the information you offer her (html, pdfs, audio, ...) intelligently in the library. She stores the information semantically, i.e. Evie understands the content you offer her, and indexes your information as such.
2. **Efficient Knowledge Retrieval**: Once stored, Evie has the ability to semantically retrieve relevant information from the library for a given question, task, ...
3. **Real-Time Updates**: As you add new information, Evie incorporates it seamlessly into her responses.
4.
