Enterprise Knowledge & Action Agent

From scattered enterprise knowledge to one trusted way to ask, and act.

The institutional knowledge that should let employees do their best work is already documented — just scattered across forty different repositories, owned by twelve different teams, governed by inconsistent permissions. The Knowledge & Action Agent unifies it on AWS — connected, cited, permission-aware, and able to take governed action on the user’s behalf when the workflow calls for it.

What is the Knowledge & Action Agent?

A unified knowledge-and-action layer for the enterprise, built on AWS-native services. It connects to every source your teams already use, answers natural-language questions with cited, permission-aware grounding, and takes the action that comes after the answer — under audit, with governed approvals where the workflow demands them.

What this platform actually does

Four capabilities, in this order.

None of the later capabilities work if the earlier ones are not solid. Connect first. Answer second. Respect permissions always. Then — and only then — take action.

Capability 01
Connects
The platform ingests content from the systems your teams already work in. Out-of-the-box connectors cover Microsoft SharePoint, OneDrive, Google Drive, Confluence, Jira, ServiceNow, Salesforce, Box, Slack, GitHub, Gmail, Outlook, Notion, Amazon S3, Aurora, RDS, and other enterprise repositories — built on Amazon Q Business’s connector fabric, with custom REST and GraphQL endpoints added per engagement. The connection layer is not a one-time import. It is a continuous synchronisation that keeps the index fresh as policies are updated, contracts are signed, projects move forward, and new documents land in the source systems. The result is a single, current, queryable representation of your enterprise knowledge — without ever moving the source documents out of the systems that own them.
Capability 02
Returns
Once the knowledge is connected, the platform answers. Natural-language queries return the response in the user’s language, grounded in the source documents, and cited back to those documents with version, timestamp and the originating system. If a fact spans three policies, the agent shows the lineage of all three. If the question has no answer in the connected sources, the agent says so — and logs the gap so your content stewards know what to write next. Hallucination mitigation runs by default through Amazon Q Business’s built-in detector. For higher-stakes domains — Legal, Compliance, regulated customer communications — Glacien layers Vectara HHEM grounding and Galileo Luna-2 evaluator models, which deliver 93–97% accuracy on response quality at sub-200ms evaluation latency.
Capability 03
Respects
A unified knowledge platform that ignores permissions is a data breach in waiting. The Knowledge & Action Agent inherits the access controls from each source system at indexing time and enforces them again at query time. When the agent crawls SharePoint, it carries the ACLs forward. When it answers a query, it returns only what the asking user is already authorised to see in the originating system. Identity propagates through AWS IAM Identity Center, integrated with Okta, Microsoft Entra ID, Ping Identity, OneLogin, or your existing enterprise identity provider. No bypass. No over-exposure. No cross-tenant leakage. A new joiner sees what a new joiner is permitted to see; a senior partner sees what a senior partner is permitted to see; an external auditor with time-boxed access sees what their role and window allow.
Capability 04
Takes
Search is necessary. It is not sufficient. Most knowledge questions are followed by a task — submit the request, draft the response, create the ticket, route the approval, update the record. The Knowledge & Action Agent executes those tasks through Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Gateway, with native Model Context Protocol support, against Lambda functions, OpenAPI services, Smithy APIs, API Gateway endpoints, and your existing workflow systems. Authentication is OAuth (two-legged for service-to-service, three-legged for user-delegated) and SigV4. Human-in-the-loop approval is configured per action class — drafting and ticket creation execute autonomously under audit; financial, customer-facing, and regulated actions require named approval; the highest-risk actions require dual control. Every action is logged. Every action is replayable. Every action is governable by AgentGuardian where the workflow is regulated.
How the work changes after deployment

Knowledge stops being a place employees go to look. It becomes a service they ask.

An HR query that previously meant a fifteen-minute search across SharePoint, the policy portal, the new-joiner handbook and an old email thread becomes one question with a cited answer — and, if the user wants to act on it, a drafted leave request in Workday ready to submit.

A legal query that previously meant rereading the same MSA clause for the fourth time this quarter becomes one cited paragraph, with the renewal date flagged, and a redline drafted against your standard template if the language deviates.

A solutions architect’s discovery section that previously meant rewriting from a blank page becomes a structured draft assembled from your three strongest prior proposals, every paragraph traced to its source, assigned to a deal partner for review.

The platform does not replace your teams. It removes the work between them and their best output.
What enterprises typically build first

One platform. An experience for every team.

Most enterprises start by deploying against one knowledge domain that is high-frequency, well-bounded, and where the source documents are already reasonably current.

HR knowledge experience

Handles leave, benefits, onboarding, travel, expenses and internal procedure questions — and can submit Workday requests on behalf of the asking employee.

Legal knowledge experience

For in-house counsel: searches the contract repository, surfaces obligations and renewal terms, identifies non-standard clauses, and prepares redlines for human review.

Sales & pre-sales experience

Assembles proposal sections, case studies, pricing narratives and competitive responses from prior wins — never inventing facts, always citing sources.

Project knowledge experience

Summarises status, decisions, risks and actions across project folders. Creates Jira tickets for the open items so nothing is dropped between meetings.

IT self-service experience

Answers Tier-1 support questions, guides troubleshooting through your runbooks, and creates ServiceNow incidents with diagnostic context already attached if escalation is required.

Compliance & audit experience

Maps internal controls to regulator clauses, surfaces missing evidence, and supports examiner preparation. Flows into AgentGuardian where the workflow is in regulatory scope.

These are not separate products. They are the same platform configured for the source systems, the language, and the workflow of one team. Most enterprises extend from the first deployment to three or four others within the first six months.

What you get from us

Working software in your AWS account, and the artefacts that surround it.

The platform itself ships in your environment, connected to the knowledge sources that matter most for your first use case — typically three sources for the MVP, expanding to your full estate during enterprise rollout. Permission-aware crawling is configured against your identity provider, validated against representative users, and verified end-to-end before the first pilot user sees a response.

The first knowledge experience ships within four weeks, tuned to your team’s language and connected to your team’s systems. The action layer is configured in two waves — low-risk drafting and ticket creation in the first wave, executing autonomously under audit; financial, customer-facing and regulated actions in the second wave with human-in-the-loop approval gates defined in collaboration with your AI Risk Committee, Compliance and Internal Audit.

Beyond the platform itself, each engagement produces an admin dashboard with usage analytics, citation rates, action volumes, top topics and unanswered questions; a content-gap report identifying where your knowledge base is weak or out of date; a monthly executive readout with adoption metrics, ROI signal, top use cases and the next-quarter improvement backlog; and an adoption playbook covering champion network, training materials per persona, and acceptance metrics per team.

Every interaction — every query, every retrieved source, every response, every action, every approval, every exception — is captured in the platform’s audit trail. For enterprises in MAS, APRA, RBI, HKMA or OJK scope, that audit trail flows directly into Glacien’s AgentGuardian for examiner-defensible evidence.

The first 90 days

A four-phase sequence, with executive checkpoints.

Each phase ends with an executive checkpoint so your sponsor always knows whether to expand, hold, or course-correct.

About Glacien

We build enterprise AI you can put in front of every employee.

The Knowledge & Action Agent is the front door — the platform your teams use every day to find trusted answers and complete approved work. The honest comparison to Glean and Microsoft Copilot for Enterprise: those products solved the answering layer well. We solved the same answering layer on top of AWS-native infrastructure, added the governed action layer that comes after the answer, added the regulator-defensible evidence model that comes after the action, and built it on procurement terms that will apply against your existing AWS commit once our Marketplace listing goes live.
