AI Assistants / GA Applications

AI assistants

Use AI to prepare and guide work without hiding its sources or limits.

GA Applications designs AI assistants that search approved knowledge, help interpret documents, draft guidance or prepare workflow actions. Every solution defines its sources, permissions, logging, retention, uncertainty, human review and escalation. The assistant supports an accountable person or process; it does not receive unlimited access or silently become the decision-maker.

Draft with evidence

The assistant has prepared a response, but it is not an approved decision.

Useful because the job is bounded. Trustworthy because the boundaries are visible.

AI assistance belongs inside a designed operating process. It does not replace accountable people, authoritative records or competent professional judgement.

01 / SOURCES

Know what it may use

Approved collections, currency, ownership and access are designed before the interface.

02 / EVIDENCE

Let people inspect support

Citations, source context and uncertainty travel with the draft.

03 / AUTHORITY

Keep decisions attributable

Permissions, review, escalation, logging and shutdown routes match consequence.

01

Choose a bounded job and approved information set.

We define the user, question, sources, desired draft or guidance and the decisions the assistant must never make alone.

CONTROL 1.1

Useful fit

Repeated knowledge search, intake or drafting with verifiable context.

CONTROL 1.2

Poor fit

High-consequence judgement without reliable sources or review.

02

Show source boundaries and uncertainty in the interface.

Answers can cite retrieved material, distinguish source text from generated explanation and make correction or escalation easy.

CONTROL 2.1

Sources

Link to the approved item and relevant passage or record.

CONTROL 2.2

Limits

State when evidence is missing, conflicting or outside scope.

03

Place human review before consequential action.

The assistant may prepare a response, structured record or suggested next step, but authorised people confirm material communication or system changes.

CONTROL 3.1

Draft

Make generated content visibly editable and unapproved.

CONTROL 3.2

Action

Show destination, effect and evidence before confirmation.

04

Control access, logs, retention and model providers.

Project design covers user identity, source permissions, prompt and response handling, sensitive data, vendor terms, testing and incident response.

CONTROL 4.1

Least privilege

Retrieve only information the current user may access.

CONTROL 4.2

Logging

Retain enough for quality and investigation without collecting unnecessary content.

05

Prove usefulness and failure behaviour with a contained evaluation.

We build a representative question set, expected source behaviour, refusal cases and review rubric before expanding users or actions.

CONTROL 5.1

Evaluate

Test accuracy, citation, permission and escalation across normal and adversarial cases.

CONTROL 5.2

Operate

Assign content owners, review feedback, monitor drift and provide a disable path.

Questions worth answering

What teams ask before they commit.

Will an AI assistant always be accurate?
No. Models can misunderstand, omit or generate incorrect information. We reduce risk through approved sources, constrained tasks, citations, evaluation and human review, but do not promise perfect accuracy.
Can it access our private documents?
Only through a designed permission-aware connection and approved data handling. Access is not granted merely because a document exists in a connected system.
Can it take actions automatically?
Low-risk actions may be considered under explicit rules. Consequential changes, customer commitments and sensitive decisions should retain visible human approval.

Start with one bounded job

Assess where an assistant can help and where it should stop.

Bring a representative question, document or staff task. We will map sources, permissions, review and an evaluation path.
