Where this started
Educe started with a single project: building an AI assistant for a UK consultancy with 20 years of documents in SharePoint.
The firm's consultants knew the answers to most questions were somewhere in their files — but finding the right document at the right time meant digging through folders, guessing at file names, or relying on colleagues' memories. Senior people spent hours on work that should have taken minutes. New joiners had no way to access the firm's accumulated experience.
We built a system that changed that. It indexes the firm's entire document library, understands their clients and terminology, and lets anyone on the team get sourced answers through a chat in Teams. It took a lot of careful data work — cleaning, structuring, enriching — because the quality of the answers depends entirely on the quality of the foundations.
That project taught us what actually matters in making AI useful for a real business: rigorous data preparation, systems that earn trust by showing their sources, and ongoing attention as documents and needs evolve. We now offer that same approach to other firms.
How we work
We work closely with your team to understand which documents are valuable, how your firm talks about its work, and what questions people actually need answered.
Every system we deploy follows the same proven architecture, adapted to each firm's specific documents, structure, and terminology. We handle the full process — from the initial SharePoint audit through to a working assistant in Teams — and we stay on to manage the platform, keeping it current and improving it over time.

Ed Turner is the founder of Educe Projects. He studied Economics at the University of Nottingham and spent five years as an Economic Advisor in UK government, working across transport infrastructure, international trade, and regional development policy.
That background — evidence-based analysis, measurable outcomes, making the case for investment — shapes how he approaches AI. The question is never "what's technically possible" but "what's actually worth doing for this firm”.
Ed builds every system himself and works directly with every client.
