Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate are the answers, and can they hallucinate?

The tools are designed to retrieve from authoritative sources and show citations where available. They are also tested against known risky areas such as dollar thresholds and quoted regulatory text. You should still verify cited text before acting.

Is our data secure and private?

A private instance is built for your organization and grounded in your approved data. Your policies, contracts, and questions are not folded into the public tools. We scope access, data handling, and security requirements before setup. For the full security posture, read our white paper on running AI on regulated data.

Can it use our own policies and contracts, not just public regulations?

Yes. We ground a private instance in approved internal policies, contracts, and prior work, so it can answer questions in the context of how your organization operates.

How is this different from a general chatbot like ChatGPT or Copilot?

Knowledge Spaces assistants answer from the sources you connect and show citations, so answers are grounded and checkable. They run with role-based access, audit logging, and guardrails, which is what production and regulated use require.

How fast can you build a private instance?

The public tools already run on Knowledge Spaces, so a private instance starts from an existing platform rather than a custom build from zero. Timeline depends on source quality, access requirements, and review needs.

Are the public tools free?

Yes. FARbot, CASbot, SpendBot, and the DCAA Assistant are free to use. They show what grounded, cited AI looks like. The paid offer is a private instance built on your own data.
