Most of our Lismore engagements start the same way: a 20-minute call where the owner describes a workflow we've heard before in shape but never in detail. AI knowledge base is then designed against the detail, not the shape.
For Lismore operators who want a working pilot in weeks, not a year-long programme.
What AI knowledge base actually does
Your team's tribal knowledge, finally searchable. Upload your SOPs, training videos, past emails, and Slack threads - your team asks questions and gets answers with citations.
- 01 Ingests PDFs, Word docs, videos, Slack, Notion, Drive
- 02 Answers with citations back to source documents
- 03 Permission-aware - staff only see what they should
- 04 Detects stale docs and prompts owners to update
Built on: Claude Pinecone Vercel AI SDK Postgres MCP

The Lismore context, plainly.
- Lismore is the Northern Rivers service centre, rebuilding through a construction and insurance workload that has not let up since the floods.
- Agriculture, education through Southern Cross University, health, and a construction and remediation sector still working through flood recovery. Documentation, claims and scheduling loads here are heavier than anywhere comparable.
We work with teams across Lismore: Lismore CBD · Goonellabah · East Lismore · South Lismore · Alstonville.

How we build AI knowledge base for a Lismore team.
We scope narrow, ship a working pilot, then harden it into production. The first slice is the highest-leverage workflow for your Lismore business, so value lands before the build is finished. Internal AI knowledge base.

What changes for Lismore teams after this lands: the work that used to need a person stays done, the work that needs a person gets done with their attention undivided. New staff get to productive 3x faster - less senior-team interruption.

FAQ
What's a typical engagement length for Lismore businesses?
Six to twelve weeks for the build, then a short managed-services month while the system goes from "shipped" to "owned by your team". After that you keep us on retainer if you want, or take it from there yourself.
Are there hidden costs we should plan for?
Three to know about: model/API spend (which we set up under your own account, not ours, so you see and control it), any new SaaS subscriptions we recommend, and your team's time during rollout. We surface all three in the quote so there are no surprises.
Do you have proof this works for Lismore businesses?
Direct case study: New staff get to productive 3x faster - less senior-team interruption. Happy to walk you through full numbers on a call.
Can you work with our existing systems?
Yes. The default AI knowledge base stack we reach for is Claude, Pinecone, Vercel AI SDK, Postgres, MCP, but we'll bend it around whatever you already run - Xero, HubSpot, Shopify, Cin7, your own in-house apps. The discovery week maps every data source before any build starts.
The honest version of a sales call.
No deck. No discovery doc. Just whether this is worth building and what it would cost.
