Where is the current specification for the insurance module?
IT, engineering & project management
A senior developer in the financial sector communicated an architectural change for the new insurance platform solely via a voice message to the team. The email with the attachment sits in the inbox, but the context explaining why certain APIs were disabled is only in their head. The next day, a colleague needs to maintain the interface but cannot find a central source for the current decision.
When technical knowledge and project status are captured from email inboxes and local documents, a linked knowledge base is created. The assistant responds with source references and proactively clarifies ambiguities rather than smoothing them over.

WHAT THE LOSS COSTSSearching for the correct version of the documentation costs time, as information is scattered across email inboxes. Rework arises when the wrong technical standard is applied, leading to delays in project management.
Capture. Connect. Find.
- CAPTURE01PeopleThe voice message and email attachments are ingested via the channel the team already uses. The assistant understands the content and asks for clarification if the link between the technical change and existing documentation is unclear.
- CONNECT02Connectors & measurement dataExisting technical specifications and project status updates from email inboxes are imported as .eml files. The system links this data with already captured knowledge fragments, requiring no manual input.
- GRAPH & OUTPUT03Colleagues & systemsColleagues retrieve project status via the chat channel. They receive an answer in the language of the query, which directly references the source, such as the voice message or email attachment. This ensures the auditability of IT documentation is maintained.
What it sounds like day to day.
A typical question from this situation, the assistant's follow-up and the answer with its reference — an example, not a transcript.
Why was the interface to the life insurance database marked as unstable in the last sprint review?
Do you mean the change from 14 March or the current configuration for the test environment?
The current test environment.
The instability results from the new validation logic, which was recorded in the sprint review minutes from 14 March. This logic was later sent via email to the QA team to reduce the error rate.

What businesses in this industry ask.
How can I centralise IT documentation for a complex insurance project without manually typing out all emails?
You can ingest email inboxes as .eml files or via ZIP bulk import. The assistant understands the content and links it with existing knowledge, so no manual input is required.
Which IT documentation software supports the import of voice messages and technical drawings?
The system understands documents, photos, videos, and voice messages, not just their storage. These contents are ingested via existing channels and semantically linked to project status.
How do I ensure that contradictory information in the IT project management methodology is not smoothed over?
A documented contradiction is stated in the response, not smoothed over. The assistant highlights conflicts based on the ingested sources, allowing you to review the discrepancy in project management.
Where is IT documentation data stored to meet the GDPR requirements of the financial sector?
The processing location is selectable: EU cloud on hardware operated by Explicio in Germany or the Explicio Box on-premise. On the Box, the knowledge base stays on the premises – for full data sovereignty in your own operation.
Limits that apply — even when nobody asks.
- Explicio never discloses credentials in the chat — only through a release process.
- Explicio does not change systems or deploy anything.
- Explicio does not assess work on code or projects by person.
