Internal knowledge base
An internal knowledge base, right next to your help centre
Write for customers, for your team, or just for the AI — in one place. Every article says who it's for, so internal know-how never leaks into your public help centre.
One place, three audiences
Most teams keep public docs in one tool and internal notes in another, and they drift apart. Here each article has one setting: who it's for.
Everyone
Published in your help centre and used by the AI chatbot on your website.
AI only
The chatbot answers from it, but there's no public page — ideal for edge cases, exceptions and how to handle tricky questions.
Internal
Your team only. Never in the help centre, never used by the chatbot customers talk to.
Built for the people answering customers
Your team's knowledge base sits inside the same dashboard as the inbox, so the answer is a search away while replying.
Search everything your team knows
Team knowledge searches public, AI-only and internal articles together, with the matching sentence highlighted.
An assistant for the team
The assistant in your dashboard answers from internal articles too, so new teammates can ask instead of hunting.
Roles and permissions
Members write and edit, admins manage settings, viewers read without changing anything.
Version history
Every save is kept, with who made it. Compare any version with today's and restore it in one click.
Screenshots and images
Paste or drop images straight into an article, or let AskBase keep product screenshots current for you.
Safe when two people edit
If a teammate saved while you were editing, you're told before anything is overwritten.

Questions people ask
- What is an internal knowledge base?
- An internal knowledge base is where a team keeps what it knows — processes, policies, how to handle tricky cases — so anyone can find it. AskBase keeps it next to your public help centre, with each article marked as public, AI only or internal.
- Can customers ever see internal articles?
- No. Internal articles aren't in your help centre, aren't in its search, and the chatbot customers use never reads them.
- What does AI only mean?
- The AI chatbot can answer from the article, but it has no public page. It's useful for guidance you want answers to follow without publishing it word for word.
- Can I keep a whole knowledge base private?
- Yes. A help centre can be unpublished while you build it, and individual articles can be internal once it's live.
- Is there version history?
- Yes. Every save is kept with who made it, and any earlier version can be compared and restored.
