The Problem: When AI Sounds Smart, But Isn’t

A leading global insurance firm had rolled out a state-of-the-art AI assistant, hoping to make their internal operations smoother and smarter. The vision? A digital advisor that could help underwriters, claims analysts, and customer service teams get instant, accurate answers from mountains of internal documents.

But soon, the cracks began to show.

Instead of becoming the go-to tool for employees, the assistant became a source of frustration. It was giving incomplete or overly generic answers. Sometimes, it misses the point entirely. And worse, it couldn’t explain why it gave the answers it did.

The model was powerful. The problem? It just didn’t know the business well enough to be helpful.

The Real Issue: The Model Wasn’t the Problem—Context Was

When we stepped in, it became clear pretty quickly: the AI wasn’t the problem. It was doing its job based on the information it had.

The real issue was that the assistant was working in the dark. All the crucial knowledge it needed- policy guidelines, product FAQs, compliance updates, underwriting notes- was spread across portals, PDFs, internal wikis, SharePoint folders, and even email threads. No single, structured path connected that information to the model in real time.

In short, the AI was guessing because it had no way to understand the right context for every question.

Our Strategy: Turn Chaos Into Context

Rather than tweaking the model, we focused on what it really needed: a smarter way to access and understand enterprise knowledge.

We introduced a context delivery framework, a strategic layer that acts as the brain between enterprise data and AI models. Think of it like an expert librarian who not only finds the most relevant information on demand but also summarizes it, puts it in the right order, and delivers it just in time for a decision to be made.

Here’s how we approached it:

• We started by mapping and indexing thousands of documents, pulling from everywhere the company stored relevant knowledge.
• We built retrieval and ranking flows to ensure that when someone asked the AI a question, it got only the most useful, up-to-date, and policy-aligned chunks of information—no noise.
• We designed smart packaging logic that could dynamically fit content into the AI assistant’s short-term memory, so it wasn’t overwhelmed but still got everything it needed to answer confidently.
• And we set up continuous monitoring to make sure responses stayed relevant, explainable, and compliant with internal protocols.

This wasn’t about applying a tool. It was about applying deep domain understanding, working closely with stakeholders, and making sure the AI truly reflected the business it was designed to serve.

What Changed: From Vague Assistant to Trusted Advisor

Within just a few weeks of implementation, the transformation was dramatic:

• 60% fewer internal support tickets- employees stopped escalating questions to senior experts because the AI finally had the answers.
• 45% jump in user satisfaction scores, with employees citing clearer, more reliable responses.
• Significantly faster decision-making in policy approvals, claims clarifications, and onboarding queries because the right answer came instantly from the right source.
• Better traceability and audit-readiness since every answer could be traced back to verified internal documentation.

The AI assistant wasn’t just “talking” smart anymore- it was actually thinking smart, grounded in the company’s policies, processes, and context.

Why This Works: It’s Not Just About Having AI- It’s About Making AI Business-Literate

This project was a great reminder of what we see across industries: Most organizations don’t struggle with the AI model. They struggle with making their data usable for AI in the right way.

At Equations Work, we specialize in solving this exact challenge. Our approach isn’t one-size-fits-all; it’s designed for enterprises that need AI to think and act like them. We help bridge the gap between sprawling internal data and intelligent model behavior with frameworks that are fast to implement and flexible to scale.

Whether your team is working in insurance, banking, healthcare, or legal, you don’t need more AI hype. You need AI that understands your world.

Let’s Talk: Is Your AI Operating With Real Context?

If your AI assistant is still giving generic, shallow, or sometimes just plain wrong answers, it’s likely not the model- it’s the missing intelligence layer around it.

Let’s have a conversation about how to fix that. We’ll show you how a context delivery framework can help your models move from talking to truly understanding, so your people can make better, faster decisions grounded in your business’s unique knowledge.
