Our development process
Universal Knowledge Integration
Real-time sync with Google Workspace, Slack, Notion, and GitHub. Event-driven architecture with webhooks keeps index current within 5 minutes. Permission-aware indexing ensures users only see documents they're authorized to access.
Intelligent Search & Retrieval
Hybrid search combining semantic vector search with keyword matching and role-based filtering. Cross-encoder re-ranking for precision. Sub-3-second response times.
“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 far fewer questions. Onboarding time dropped from 12 weeks to 4 weeks. Then other companies asked: 'Can we use this too?'”

What changed after launch
Faster Onboarding
Time to full productivity dropped from 12 weeks to 4 weeks, client-reported from the internal pilot.
Fewer Interruptions
Senior employees spent less time answering repeated questions and more time on strategic work.
Active Use in the Pilot
Pilot employees used Agent22 daily to ask questions about policies, tools, and projects.
Permission-Aware Answers
Search respects each person's access rights, so employees only see documents they are authorized to open.
Answers Where People Work
The Slack app puts answers in the tool employees already use, like having an expert available at any hour.
Agent22 shows how AI can shorten employee onboarding and improve knowledge management. By unifying fragmented knowledge sources, respecting permissions, and delivering personalized answers where employees already work, we cut onboarding time from 12 weeks to 4 weeks (client-reported). The key insight: build into the tools people already use instead of adding another one.
