To **build an internal chatbot for a department**, keep its scope narrow. An assistant that answers everything badly is less useful than one that answers a defined set well.

## Why a single company-wide bot underperforms

Different departments have different documentation, tone, and audiences.

- One knowledge base covering unrelated topics
- Answers drawn from documents meant for another team
- No clear owner for the material
- Tone appropriate for one audience and wrong for another

## What a departmental assistant needs

- **Its own documentation**, covering that team's topics
- **Its own instructions**, defining role and tone
- **A named owner** responsible for keeping material current
- **A clear scope**, stated in its instructions
- **A reachable place**, usually the home screen

## How to set it up in Jestor

1. Write the department's documentation as a document in **Jestor**.
2. Create an agent and attach that document as its knowledge base — no table required.
3. Write instructions defining its role, tone, and what it should not attempt.
4. Customize its appearance so it is recognizable as that department's assistant.
5. Make it reachable from the home page people in that department land on.

## Why choose Jestor for departmental assistants?

**Jestor** allows an agent to answer purely from attached documents, which means a department can have its own assistant without building a table or a process for it.

Because the same document serves as reading material and as the knowledge base, the department maintains one thing rather than two.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### Does the agent need a table?

No, documents alone are enough. See [jestor.com](https://jestor.com/?ref=blog.jestor.com).

### Should one bot cover the whole company?

Usually not — narrow scope answers better.

### Where should it be reachable?

From the home page that department lands on.
