Pravodha saves the answers your experts already give in Slack, Microsoft Teams, and email as searchable institutional knowledge, credited to the expert and recognized by the colleagues who found the answer useful.

Your team's best answers are buried in chat threads. Experts end up explaining the same things again and again, while the wiki goes stale.
With a few clicks, Pravodha captures the entire thread, so the context behind every decision is preserved. Edit the title if you like, and save.
It's credited to the people who shared it, and searchable straight away. Next time someone asks, they get an AI summary in seconds, with the full conversation right behind it.
Colleagues like and bookmark what helped, and the experts behind the answers earn recognition.

Why teams lose institutional knowledge
Three patterns repeat in every growing company.
Knowledge walks out the door
When a senior engineer leaves, their context on hundreds of decisions leaves with them. New hires spend months reconstructing what the team already knew.
Employee turnoverExperts become human FAQs
The same questions get asked over and over. The people who know the most get interrupted most, lose deep work time, and eventually stop responding.
OnboardingDocumentation mandates don't work
Wikis go stale the week they're published, and nobody has time to maintain them. The knowledge that matters most stays in chat and email, and disappears within weeks.
Engineering teamsKnowledge capture that happens inside conversations already taking place
Your experts already share valuable knowledge every day. Pravodha preserves it at the moment it's created, without asking anything extra from the people who know the most.
A valuable conversation happens, and a teammate saves it
An expert explains a decision, walks through a process, or answers a question that will come up again. Any teammate saves the whole thread from Slack or Teams in three clicks, with the title, department, and tags in one step.
If the answer lives in an email chain, forward it to your Pravodha address, review the draft, and publish it to your workspace.
A source tag is added automatically. You can add up to 3 more.
The next person finds the answer in a search
Saved threads are tagged by topic and summarized, so the answer appears with the full conversation behind it. A new teammate gets the context without interrupting the person who explained it.

The expert gets the credit, and colleagues see who knows
Every answer is attributed to the person who gave it. Colleagues like and bookmark what helped, and each like builds an expertise badge on the expert's profile.

Email forwardingFive places teams lose knowledge
Pravodha is designed for companies between 50 and 500 people: complex enough to have a real knowledge problem, too lean to staff a solution to it.
Employee turnover
When someone leaves, what they knew leaves with them. Pravodha keeps their explanations on record under their name.
Employee turnoverOnboarding
New hires spend their first weeks asking colleagues for answers that were already given. Pravodha puts those answers in a search, so last year's decisions are there on day one.
OnboardingEngineering teams
The reasons behind an architecture decision sit in a thread that scrolls away. Pravodha saves the thread under the engineer's name, so the reasoning stays findable.
Engineering teamsCross-team knowledge
What one team knows rarely reaches the team three channels away. Pravodha files every answer under a department, so other teams can subscribe and search it.
Cross-team knowledgeExpertise mapping
A job title says what someone was hired to do, and a skills profile goes stale. Pravodha builds expertise badges from the answers people give and the likes colleagues add.

What is institutional knowledge management?
It is the practice of keeping what a company's people know where others can find it. Pravodha does this by saving the answers experts already give in Slack, Microsoft Teams, and email as searchable entries credited to the expert.
How is Pravodha different from a wiki?
A wiki needs someone to write and maintain pages. Pravodha saves conversations that already happened, so nobody writes documentation from memory. Each entry keeps the full conversation behind it and the name of the person who answered.
How do we save a Slack or Teams conversation?
Any teammate saves the whole thread in three clicks and adds the title, department and tags in one step. The expert who gave the answer does nothing extra.
How does email forwarding work?
Forward the email chain to your personal Pravodha address, review the draft, and publish it to your workspace.
