Transport and delivery: AI enquiry assistant for archive relocation companies
An AI enquiry assistant for archive relocation companies that answers questions about box references, locations and retrievals using approved information, and passes doubtful cases to the project lead.
Which questions archive relocation companies keep getting.
During and after an archive move, archive relocation companies get a stream of questions that boil down to the same few things: which box holds a given file, where is it now, what does this reference on the label mean and how do I request something from storage. They come from department staff who do not want to bother the archivist, usually by email or phone to the office team. The office looks it up in the relocation list and replies, mostly correctly but slowly. At the same time a wrong answer is not acceptable: whoever is sent to the wrong bay loses time and trust. An assistant that guesses is worse than none.

Approved sources only
The assistant only uses sources you have released: the client's signed-off inventory, the explanation of the reference system on the labels and the standard procedure for retrievals. Draft lists and phases that have not been signed off are left out entirely.
Match the question to a reference
A question such as where are the personnel files of a certain department is matched to the description and box reference in the inventory. If exactly one box fits, the assistant gives its reference and location. If several fit or none do, it says so and asks for more detail.
Answer or hand over
When the answer is unambiguous, the assistant gives the location and names the source. When in doubt, or when the question concerns confidential records or a retrieval from storage, it passes the question to the office team or project lead, together with what it has found. The person asking knows who will get back to them.
On your own information, with a person behind it.
The assistant works alongside existing channels: email, phone and possibly a customer portal. It reads the inventory and locations from the same source as the portal and changes nothing there. The client remains the owner of the content descriptions; you own the locations and the explanation of how things work. Handovers arrive in the office team's mailbox or task system.
Assistant for the client or for staff
An assistant for the client's staff answers questions directly but must be strictly limited to what they may see. An assistant for your own office team speeds up lookups, but the client notices less of it. It often starts internally, so you can see which questions it handles well before the client uses it.
Give the location or only refer
An assistant that names the location saves the person a phone call. With confidential archives it may be wiser to confirm only that the file has been moved and refer the person to the archivist. You set that choice per client, which keeps the client in control of who learns what.
Taking retrievals or explaining them
The assistant can explain how a retrieval works and who may request one. Actually accepting a retrieval requires the identity and authority of the requester to be established. So it explains the procedure and passes the request itself to a member of staff who checks it.

Read the storyWhat the AI assistant may answer.
The assistant answers questions about box references and locations from that one client's signed-off inventory; it explains the label system and passes doubt to the office team. We prepare the inventory and the explanation of labels together. Beforehand we put an ordinary question about a file to it, a question that matches several boxes and a question about confidential records. Explaining retrievals from storage and access for the client's own staff are added when you are ready for that.

Explore pricing and optionsWhat does the assistant do when it does not know the answer?
It says so and passes the question to a member of staff, along with what it has already found. It does not guess or invent a location. The person asking hears who will call or email them back, so they are not left waiting for an answer that never comes.
Can the assistant arrange for files to be fetched from storage?
No. It explains how a retrieval works and passes the request to a member of staff. That person checks whether the requester is authorised and schedules the collection. The assistant makes no decisions about access to records.
Can the assistant see inside confidential files?
It only sees what is in the approved inventory, usually a short description and a reference. For boxes marked confidential, you can set it to never give a location and always pass the question to the archivist.
How do we check that the answers are right?
Every answer cites its source, such as the box reference in the inventory. Conversations and handovers are kept, so the office team can spot-check them. Wrong answers usually point to an error in the source, which is then corrected in the inventory.
