Abstract

Methods and apparatuses for providing a real-time enterprise knowledge assistant that automatically responds to user comments and questions via a graphical user interface are described. The enterprise knowledge assistant may display automated responses to questions provided by users within a persistent chat channel (or other communications channel). The information displayed or referenced (e.g., via a linked electronic document) within an automated response to a user's factual question may be determined based on access rights to linked documents and the number of electronic interactions between users, such as the number of times that users co-edited or collaborated on documents (e.g., programming code). Upon detection that at least a portion of a user's message within a chat channel has been classified as a factual question, the enterprise knowledge assistant may access question and answer pairings stored within a frequently asked questions database and display an authorized answer.
