Getting Started
Obris lets knowledge owners build AI experts that their team can talk to through any AI tool. You curate the knowledge, organize it into topics, and deploy it as an expert. Your team asks questions in Claude, ChatGPT, or any MCP compatible client and gets answers from what you have curated.
You need an Obris account to get started. Sign up at app.obris.ai if you do not have one yet.
How Obris works
Obris has three parts: experts that your team talks to, topics that organize your knowledge, and connectors that sync content from your sources.
Create an expert. An expert is an AI assistant backed by your curated knowledge. You give it a name, a description, and select which topics it can access. Your team interacts with the expert through whatever AI tool they already use.
Organize into topics. Topics are collections of related knowledge. Onboarding docs, deal processes, engineering standards, product specs. Each topic can contain text, files, and synced content from external sources. You can assign multiple topics to a single expert.
Sync from your sources. Connect Google Drive or Notion to keep topics current automatically. When someone updates the source document, the expert has the latest version in the next conversation. You can also add knowledge manually through the Chrome extension, the CLI, or directly in the dashboard.
Deploy to any AI tool. Connect your expert to Claude, ChatGPT, custom GPTs, Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, or any MCP compatible client. Your team uses whatever AI they already have. No new tool to adopt.
Quick start
- Create a topic in the Obris dashboard. Give it a clear name and description (the AI uses these to understand what the topic covers).
- Add knowledge to the topic. Upload files, paste text, or sync from Google Drive or Notion.
- Create an expert and assign your topic to it.
- Connect your AI tool using the remote MCP connector or a Custom GPT.
- Ask a question in your AI tool. The expert pulls from your curated knowledge to answer.
Tips
Start with one expert that solves a real problem. Do not try to cover everything on day one. Pick the topic your team asks you about most and build an expert for it. Once your team sees the value, you will naturally expand.
Be specific with topic names. "Company Processes" is less useful than "Partner Deal Attribution" or "New Hire Engineering Onboarding." Specificity helps the expert find the right knowledge for the right question.
Keep it current. Sync from Google Drive or Notion so your expert always has the latest version. If you add knowledge manually, revisit topics when processes change. Outdated knowledge leads to outdated answers.
Use the feedback loop. Obris captures session ratings and feedback after each conversation. Check what is working, where users got stuck, and what knowledge is missing. Use this to fill gaps over time.
Combine topics for complex experts. An expert can access multiple topics. A "Sales Enablement" expert might pull from "Deal Attribution," "Partner Processes," and "Competitor Positioning" topics. The more connected your knowledge, the better the answers.
