It reads the files you already have and learns how things are done in them: the procedures, the practice, the lessons, with the page behind every line. That makes it very good at one kind of question and no use at all for another. Here is the honest list.
Standard procedures
Operating procedures, work instructions, checklists: the steps that are written down in ten places and the same in none. It learns the procedure and where each step comes from.
The process inside expert reports
Assessment reports, inspection reports, incident write-ups. From a pile of them it learns how the work is done: what gets checked, in what order, what counts as a fault, not the details of any one case.
Know-how in unstructured text
Emails, meeting notes, handover documents, chat exports. The way things actually get done, written down in passing, becomes chapters a newcomer can read.
Rules and their exceptions
Policies, regulations and contracts, read for their rules: what applies, when, and what happens otherwise, with the clause behind each one.
Records
Which case was handled on which date, what one report concluded, who signed, the entry for one customer. That is something to look up, not to learn: it keeps the practice, not the record.
Things nobody wrote down
It knows only what is in your files. What lives in someone's head, in a chat you did not add, or on the internet is out of its reach.
Numbers that change by the hour
Stock levels, prices, order status, live systems. It learns from files at the moment it reads them; it is not a live connection to your databases.
Spreadsheets, drawings and pictures
It reads text: PDFs, Word files, plain text, scans with text in them. Tables of numbers, technical drawings, photos and handwriting are not text to it.
Advice, opinions and predictions
It tells you how your files say things are done, not what you should decide. It will not judge, forecast or take a side.
Ask what you want back. "How do we handle a complaint?" is a lesson: it lives in many files, it is the same each time, and it can be learned. "What did report 47 conclude?" is a record: it lives in one file, it is different every time, and it should be looked up, not learned. It learns the first kind, and for the second it will say your files do not cover it rather than guess.
