Clear answers, from your own documents
Natural questions get grounded answers — with the manual and page they came from, so anyone can check.
Folio AI turns your manuals, catalogues, specifications and product data into branded AI chat — for your customers, and for your team. You provide the knowledge. We build it, host it and look after it.

Your brandWhat does fault code E04 mean on the HX-200?
E04 is a low-inlet-pressure trip. Check the inlet strainer is clear, then reset by holding STOP for 3 seconds.

Live demo
This is a real Folio AI chat, working from a real body of technical documentation. Ask it anything you'd expect to find in the manuals for one of these British icons — and try asking something it shouldn't know.
Opening the live demo…
One chat, or two if you need it
Most businesses start with a single customer chat on their website — and for many, that's all they need. If you also have technical, internal or commercially sensitive knowledge your team relies on, we can add a second, protected chat just for them. It's only built if you need it.
Where you have both, they are built separately and stored in separate databases, so the customer chat can never answer from your private material. We'll work with you to decide what yours requires.
On your website · For your customers
Answers questions from the material you approve for the public — manuals, specification sheets, catalogues, FAQs — in your branding, with its sources on show.
Open to visitors, with usage limits
Behind sign-in · For your team
Answers from the technical, internal and commercially sensitive knowledge your staff rely on — available only to the people you authorise.
Only people you authorise can sign in
Separate where it matters
If you have a protected chat, its knowledge lives in its own database — not one database with a permissions flag.
No route between them
The customer chat is only ever connected to its own database. However a question is phrased, it has nothing private to draw on.
We draw the line together
Some businesses need both chats, many need just one. We work with you to decide what's public, what's private and what's really required — and you approve it before anything goes live.
Why it exists
Product knowledge lives in manuals, PDFs, catalogues, spreadsheets — and in the heads of the people who have been there longest. Finding a reliable answer takes time, for customers and staff alike.
Folio AI brings it together into chat that answers in seconds, shows where every answer came from, and knows when to hand over to a person.
What it does well
01 · Troubleshooting
Natural questions get grounded answers — with the manual and page they came from, so anyone can check.
02 · Exact identifiers
Model numbers, part numbers, operation and fault codes are matched precisely rather than guessed at.
03 · Diagrams
Relevant diagrams and product imagery appear alongside the answer, and can be enlarged to read the detail.
04 · Knowing its limits
When the evidence isn't there, it says so plainly and points people to your support team instead of inventing an answer.
Your brand, not ours
Your logo, colours, voice and support details. Folio AI works behind the scenes — your customers only ever see your brand.
Insights
Your customers are already telling you what they need — they just haven't had anywhere to say it. Folio AI turns every conversation into a clear picture of what people ask, what your documentation doesn't cover yet, and where they still need your team.

How it works
You provide the approved material — manuals, catalogues, specifications, product data — and tell us what's for customers and what's for staff only.
We structure, index and configure your knowledge, brand the chat as yours, and test it against the questions your customers and team really ask.
You try it with representative questions, check the answers and presentation, and sign off before anything goes live.
We host, maintain and update it within an agreed scope — adding new documents as your products change.
Trust & security
Approved sources only
Answers come from a closed knowledge base built from the material you approve — not the open web.
Sources on show
Every answer references the documentation it used, so it can be checked.
Cautious by design
Uncertainty is stated, and missing evidence leads to a hand-over, not a guess.
Separated, per customer
Each customer has their own isolated environment, with protected knowledge kept in a separate database wherever it's needed.
Keys stay server-side
Model and database credentials never reach the browser.
Clearly AI
People are told they're talking to AI, and that answers should be checked for anything critical.
Tell us what you have and who needs it. We'll give you an honest view of what Folio AI could do — and what it couldn't.
