Signal87 AI — Turn Your Docs into a Smart Knowledge Base

Signal87 AI is a tool that converts your document library into a searchable knowledge base that answers questions, generates reports, and surfaces insights. It’s made for teams who have lots of files, scattered knowledge, and not enough time to hunt for answers. Small businesses, especially those with 5–100 people, will find it helpful when they want to stop losing time in folders and start getting fast, useful answers from the documents they already own.

Think of Signal87 AI as a friendly librarian who remembers everything, is annoyingly fast, and never judges you for saving an invoice as “final_final_v2.pdf.”

Organize company documents for easy access

One common problem in small businesses is chaos: contracts in email, SOPs in Google Drive, and product specs on someone’s laptop. Signal87 AI indexes all those documents and makes them searchable in plain language. Instead of opening five files to find a clause, you can ask a question and get a direct answer or a link to the right document.

Quick tip: Start by pointing Signal87 AI at one folder or repository. Let it index overnight, then try asking common questions your team already asks. You’ll be surprised how many “I thought you knew that” moments you avoid.

Improve employee onboarding with searchable resources

New hires don’t need to read every manual. They need the right answers quickly. With Signal87 AI, you can create an onboarding hub where new employees ask questions in plain English—like “How do I submit expenses?”—and get step-by-step answers pulled from your existing docs. That reduces repetitive questions for managers and helps new hires get productive faster.

Quick tip: Build a short onboarding checklist and link it to the most frequently asked questions in your knowledge base. It’s like having an always-available buddy who knows company quirks.

Generate reports from existing data quickly

Your documents contain a lot of useful numbers and observations: sales notes, customer feedback, project updates. Signal87 AI can pull these pieces together into a coherent report—monthly summaries, trend snapshots, or a quick one-pager for a meeting. Instead of copying data across a dozen sheets, you ask for a summary and get a draft you can edit.

Quick tip: Ask for “top 3 themes” or “monthly highlights” to get concise lists you can paste into status emails or slide decks.

Enhance decision-making with accessible insights

Good decisions come from good information. Signal87 AI helps leaders surface patterns in documents—customer complaints, recurring project blockers, or product feature requests—so you can make decisions based on trends, not guesswork. It’s like converting raw data into business sense without a PhD in data science.

Quick tip: Use it before leadership meetings. Ask it to summarize the last quarter’s customer feedback or highlight recurring issues across projects.

Facilitate knowledge sharing among teams

When knowledge is trapped in people’s heads, it’s risky. Signal87 AI makes that knowledge searchable and shareable. Teams can contribute documents, tag important items, and rely on the knowledge base as the single source of truth. This is especially helpful when people go on leave, switch roles, or leave the company—nothing important disappears into someone’s inbox.

Quick tip: Encourage teams to add short summaries to key documents. The AI will index them and make that context show up in search results.
