How Genie works

Using Genie is easy - just type a question into the Ask Anything field, and it instantly searches your organization's indexed content to generate structured responses. Results appear as interactive flashcards with key takeaways, video clips, and follow-up suggestions to help you dive deeper.

Genie only pulls from content it has access to, ensuring all responses are accurate, relevant, and aligned with your organization’s knowledge base. It also respects user entitlements, so the same question may yield different results for different users based on their access permissions.

Its AI continuously improves based on user interactions and feedback, making responses smarter over time.
