A low-cost shared knowledge base for small agency AI work

A small media agency wants a central that brings together client documents, s, old emails, and other internal material. Staff should be able to ask questions, find past themes, and reuse earlier ideas when planning new work.

The system should connect with Claude so that, when someone is working on a topic, the AI can bring up older findings that may help. New files added to , local drives, or similar storage should also be added to this searchable .

The desired setup needs to be stronger than a personal notes tool, but still cheap, simple to deploy, and easy to maintain. One suggested path is a managed RAG service such as Managed , which can handle file intake, search, and AI connection with less custom building.

Key points

  • The should connect to Claude so past findings can support new work.
  • New files from or local drives should become searchable automatically.
  • The setup needs to be more robust than a personal notes system but still affordable and simple.
  • A managed RAG service may reduce build effort, but cost should be tested with real usage.
