Head of Knowledge Management

We are a venture-backed, knowledge automation tech company with a cutting edge, AI driven, SaaS platform to automate the right answers for the people that need them most.

Our platform plugs into a company’s content systems, learns from the data, and then helps employees respond to queries without hunting for information. Without Shelf, the average worker currently spends 19% of their time tracking down answers, and COVID-19 made it worse.

Our mission is to empower humanity with better answers everywhere and our vision goes far beyond solutions for contact centers.
