FAQ

General
Agent

01
What does Experio IQ1™ actually do?
IQ1™ maps the relationships between your projects, contracts, experts, clients, and past performance into a discoverable knowledge graph. Then it powers agents that handle proposals, capture, contracts, onboarding, compliance, and knowledge insights — all grounded in your firm's actual data, fusing unstructured documents with structured systems of record.
02
How is Experio different from ChatGPT or Copilot?
Generic AI guesses. IQ1™ knows. It builds a knowledge graph of your firm — who knows what, which projects relate to which clients, what you've delivered before — so every answer is grounded in your actual data, traceable to a source, and auditable. Generic tools retrieve documents; IQ1™ understands your business context.
03
What types of firms use Experio?
Government contractors, management consultancies, accounting firms, and AEC organizations. Any professional-services firm where knowledge is the competitive advantage and compliance is non-negotiable.
04
How long does setup take?
Most firms are live within 30 business days. We connect your data sources, configure your ontology, and activate your environment. No custom development required.
05
What's involved in setup?
Three steps: connect your existing data sources (SharePoint, Teams, CRM, ERP, email, network drives), configure your domain ontology so IQ1™ understands your business language, and activate your secure deployment. No content migration, no manual tagging.
06
How do I get started? Is there a trial?
Book a demo with our team — we'll show you IQ1™ working with your actual data. Many firms qualify for low-cost pilots. Most know within the first week if it's right for them.
