2 min read346 words
Panacea is an AI-powered knowledge management and customer support platform that lets you build a living knowledge base, train an AI on your business, and deliver instant, accurate answers to your customers — around the clock.
What Panacea does
At its core, Panacea connects three pieces:
- Your knowledge — Ingest documentation, URLs, policies, FAQs, and any written content into a searchable, AI-indexed wiki.
- An AI agent — Automatically answers customer questions by retrieving the most relevant knowledge, with citations back to the source entries.
- A human layer — When the AI can't confidently answer, it escalates to your team in real time via the Inbox.
Who is it for?
Panacea is designed for:
- SaaS companies that want to reduce support ticket volume without sacrificing quality.
- Developers and product teams that need a private, hosted knowledge base for internal or external documentation.
- Customer success teams that want visibility into what questions are being asked, how well the AI is performing, and where knowledge gaps exist.
Core concepts
| Concept | What it means |
|---|---|
| Wiki entry | A single knowledge base article — the unit of truth your AI uses to answer questions. |
| Ingest | The process of adding new content (URL, raw text, file) to your knowledge base. |
| Query | A question asked to the AI agent — it retrieves relevant wiki entries and synthesises an answer. |
| Review queue | AI-proposed updates to wiki entries that need a human to approve or reject before going live. |
| Escalation | A session the AI couldn't resolve, routed to a human agent via the Inbox. |
| Source | An external integration (e.g. Airdraft CMS, GitHub) that syncs content into the wiki automatically. |
| Session | A conversation thread between a customer and the AI agent (or a human agent during escalation). |
