The Problem
AI Knowledge Management: 3x Faster Employee Onboarding
Agent22 made employee onboarding 3x faster. It is an AI training assistant and knowledge management system designed to solve the employee onboarding bottleneck. By unifying knowledge from Google Workspace, Slack, Notion, and company documents, Agent22 gives employees instant, personalized answers to any question, reducing onboarding time by 67%.
Client testimonial
We built Agent22 to solve our own problem, and it worked so well, we turned it into a product. As EdgeFirm grew from 10 to 50 employees, onboarding became a nightmare. New hires would spend their first three months asking endless questions: 'Where's the design system documentation?' 'How do I request PTO?' Every question interrupted someone's work. Agent22 changed everything. Within a month, our new hires were asking colleagues 50% fewer questions. Onboarding time dropped from 12 weeks to 4 weeks. Then other companies asked: 'Can we use this too?'
