# How can an organisation use AI to answer questions from customers, members or guests using only its own approved information?

Gather the pages, policies and FAQs people actually ask about, give each one an owner and a review date, and let the assistant answer only from that set. Each answer should link to its source and say plainly when the answer is not there, offering a way to reach a person. Keep payments, complaints, personal records and anything sensitive with staff. Review unanswered and low-rated questions weekly to fix gaps in the information, not just the assistant.

## What this means in practice

- Collect the pages and policies people ask about, each with an owner.
- Answer only from that approved set and link the source.
- Say clearly when the answer is not there and offer a person.
- Keep payments, complaints and personal records with staff.
- Review unanswered questions weekly and fix the source information.

## How Lid Vizion approaches it

We start with the business decision and operating context, define ownership and measurable milestones, then use configuration, integrations, automation, or custom software only where each earns its place.
