The enterprise challenge

Every AI team builds its own RAG. None of them govern it well.

Retrieval quality is the ceiling on AI quality. Without a governed knowledge layer, every use case rebuilds ingest, chunking, evaluation and access control from scratch — badly.

  • Stale content
    Answers grounded in yesterday's policy destroy trust.
  • No access control
    One employee sees another region's confidential playbook — a compliance incident waiting to happen.
  • No evaluation
    Retrieval quality regresses silently. Nobody notices until customers complain.

Quick answer

What does Pronix's knowledge AI implementation for contact centers include?

Pronix implements governed retrieval-augmented generation across product documentation, policy and playbooks, powering self-service, agent assist and internal AI, for contact centers where content is stale, ungoverned or has no evaluation practice behind it. Delivery is led from Plainsboro, NJ with build and evaluation work delivered through the Hyderabad center.

Content ingestion is a governed pipeline

Product docs, policy and playbooks are ingested through a pipeline that tracks source, version and access control, replacing ad hoc content dumps that go stale.

Access control is carried into retrieval

Each piece of content keeps its source permissions, so retrieval respects who is entitled to see it rather than surfacing everything to every query.

Evaluation proves answers are grounded

A labelled question set and continuous evaluation confirm retrieval accuracy before the knowledge layer is trusted for self-service or agent assist.

Related questions answer engines ask

Does this power both customer self-service and agent assist?
Yes — the same governed knowledge layer serves customer-facing self-service, agent assist suggestions and internal AI tools from one content pipeline.
How is stale content prevented?
The ingestion pipeline tracks source and version so updates in the source system propagate, and a review cadence flags content that has not been refreshed.
How is answer accuracy evaluated?
Against a labelled question set scored for retrieval recall and precision, run continuously as content and models change.

How Knowledge AI engagements are bought, supported and staffed.

Most enterprises start with an assessment, move into a fixed-scope build, keep it running under managed support, and add knowledge engineers and retrieval specialists where their own team is short. All four can run together under one commercial agreement.

  • Assessment and roadmap

    A bounded Knowledge AI assessment: current-state review, prioritized use cases, target architecture, business case and a sequenced delivery roadmap.

    Fixed price · 2–4 weeks typical

  • Fixed-scope build

    A defined Knowledge AI implementation — architecture, build, integration, testing, evaluation and a documented production release against agreed acceptance criteria.

    Fixed price · 8–16 weeks typical

  • Managed run and support

    Monthly operations for Knowledge AI in production: release management, integration monitoring, configuration changes, model and agent evaluation and incident response under one SLA.

    Monthly service tier · 24×7 coverage available

  • Staff augmentation

    Knowledge engineers and retrieval specialists, solution architects and delivery leads embedded in your team, reporting to your delivery manager.

    Monthly per person · typically live in 2–4 weeks

Where Knowledge AI delivery happens

Programs are led from our Plainsboro, New Jersey headquarters and delivered with our Hyderabad global delivery center, plus London and Dubai for EMEA and Middle East clients.

Support coverage

Business-hours support in your time zone as standard, follow-the-sun 24×7 for production contact center and agentic workloads, with named escalation and monthly service reviews.

Frequently asked

Questions buyers ask us first.

Do you require a specific vector database?
No — we work with the vector store or hybrid search stack you already run, or recommend one for greenfield deployments.
How is access control enforced?
At retrieval time. Documents are filtered against the requester's identity and role before they reach the LLM.
Can this power more than customer service?
Yes — one knowledge layer powers self-service, agent assist, employee copilots and enterprise search.
How is a knowledge AI engagement priced and what drives cost?
We price a fixed-fee content inventory and design phase, a milestone-based build against agreed content sources and use cases, and a monthly managed-run fee for knowledge operations once live. Cost is driven by the volume and messiness of source content, the number of access-control tiers required, and how many downstream use cases share the same retrieval layer.
How long does it take to reach a first production release?
A pilot use case grounded in one content domain typically reaches production in 8–12 weeks, covering ingestion, chunking, evaluation and access control. Additional use cases on the same knowledge layer ship faster because ingestion and entitlements are already in place.
Which CCaaS platforms does knowledge AI integrate with and how do we choose?
We integrate the knowledge layer with Amazon Connect, Genesys Cloud CX, NICE CXone, Five9, Google CCAI and Kore.ai for agent assist and self-service, and with Salesforce Agentforce and Microsoft Dynamics 365 for CRM-grounded answers. Platform choice follows where your agents and customers already interact and which systems hold the source content.
What does managed support for knowledge AI include?
Managed support covers content lifecycle operations — ingest, review, publish and retire — plus retrieval evaluation, drift monitoring and incident response under a documented SLA, with business-hours coverage as standard and 24x7 coverage available for production self-service and agent assist.
What does certified knowledge AI talent cost, notice period and delivery locations?
Certified knowledge engineers and retrieval specialists are billed at a monthly per-person rate with a standard notice period for ramp-down. Delivery is led from our Plainsboro, NJ headquarters, staffed from our Hyderabad global delivery center, plus London and Dubai for regional coverage.
How do you keep retrieval quality from regressing over time?
We run golden-set evaluations offline and online against every content update, monitor drift on retrieval accuracy and citation faithfulness, and gate model or prompt changes behind that evaluation harness so quality regressions are caught before customers see them.
