Enterprise AI Policy Assistant with Multimodal Document Understanding
Azadea Group's Enterprise AI Policy Assistant helps employees navigate corporate and HR documentation through natural-language questions. Built with BrainShift Studio, BrainShift Workspace and BrainShift Gateway, it interprets policy text alongside charts, drawings and PDF workflows, and is designed to serve a workforce of approximately 14,000 employees.
Business challenge
Retail employees need clear guidance on leave, exceptions and approval responsibilities without searching thousands of policy documents. Country-specific rules complicate interpretation, while repeated questions place pressure on HR officers and can produce slow or inconsistent answers.
Keyword search alone cannot explain a decision tree or connect a table’s conditions with an approval diagram. Employees may need to reconcile several documents before identifying the correct procedure, responsible department or escalation route.
How BrainShift solves it
BrainShift combines multimodal document understanding with enterprise retrieval-augmented generation. It interprets written procedures, tables, charts, drawings and flowcharts, retrieves relevant policy material, and explains decision points, conditions and process sequences with document references where available.
Employees access the companion through an enterprise AI environment with centralized model governance. Country-aware answers remain grounded in company policies, with handover to HR when needed. Structured experiments on document preparation, retrieval, prompts and models use real employee questions to evaluate changes before release, while cost-conscious design supports predictable AI usage.

Suggested KPIs
Security and deployment
BrainShift supports configurable sovereign, on-premises or private-cloud deployment options, SSO, role-based access and audit trails. Repository permissions, model access and document handling should follow enterprise requirements. These are architectural options, not confirmation of Azadea’s specific deployment configuration; integrations listed here are configurable possibilities.
Human oversight
HR policy owners remain responsible for authoritative interpretation and exceptions. High-impact actions, including employment decisions or policy overrides, require human review and approval; explaining an approval path does not authorize or execute it. Before publication, confirm permission to use Azadea’s name, logo, implementation details and workforce figure.
