Grounded in the documents, plans, and policies you provide — with the source cited. Out-of-scope questions get a clear redirect, never a guess.
They are not trying to enroll in anything and they are not recording work. They have one question, the answer exists in a document somewhere, and the path to it runs through a portal, a PDF, and a hold queue. So they call your team instead — and they ask the same seven questions everybody else asks.
In benefits, in HR, and in healthcare, a confidently invented answer is a liability. Grounded Answers is built so that the system would rather say “that's outside what I can answer” than produce a plausible sentence. That constraint is the product.
We answer from the documents, plan summaries, policies, and FAQs you provide — hosted by us or pulled from your existing systems. Answers cite the source so members can verify.
Questions outside your defined scope get a clear, concise redirect — not a guess. The system stays on-topic so your team doesn't have to police it.
High-volume questions that weren't answered cleanly surface as gaps in the knowledge base — a list of exactly what to write next.

From the documents, plans, and policies you provide. No hallucinations. No out-of-scope responses.
