Use cases

One information layer. Every department.

Each function in your company has information that should be powering its AI tools and is not. Cornu lets every department teach its own knowledge area and serve it as permission-scoped context to the AI assistants your team already uses.

HR & People

HR information lives across an aging intranet, SharePoint folders, PDFs, and Slack threads. Employees ask the same questions every week. New hires can't find what they need. None of it is reachable from the AI tools your team already uses.

Example content

  • ✓Benefits and open enrollment
  • ✓Time off and company holidays
  • ✓Expense and travel policy
  • ✓Employee handbook
  • ✓Org charts and key contacts
  • ✓Onboarding and ramp guides
  • ✓Emergency information and escalation

What your team asks their AI

  • “What is the parental leave policy?”
  • “When is the next observed holiday?”
  • “How do I submit an expense report?”
  • “Who do I contact if I lose my laptop on a business trip?”

Outcome

HR stops answering the same twenty questions. New hires self-onboard with confidence. The handbook becomes a living source of truth instead of a document nobody reads.

Marketing

Your team uses AI to draft content every day. Without governed context, the output drifts off brand, references stale positioning, and contradicts the messaging your leadership team just signed off on.

Example content

  • ✓Brand voice and style guide
  • ✓Positioning and value props
  • ✓Messaging by audience or vertical
  • ✓Customer stories and references
  • ✓Competitive battle cards
  • ✓Approved boilerplate and disclaimers

What your team asks their AI

  • “Draft a LinkedIn post about our new feature in our brand voice.”
  • “What is our value prop for the manufacturing vertical?”
  • “How do we describe ourselves versus competitor X?”
  • “Give me three approved customer quotes I can use in a deck.”

Outcome

AI-generated marketing stays on brand. Positioning stays consistent across every channel. Your team moves faster without your messaging slipping out of your control.

Sales

Reps draft emails, prep for calls, and respond to objections with AI. Without Cornu, the AI invents pricing, parrots outdated decks, and writes in a voice that does not sound like your team. Onboarding new reps takes months.

Example content

  • ✓Sales playbooks and methodology
  • ✓Email templates and cadences
  • ✓Discovery questions and demo scripts
  • ✓Pricing, packaging, and discount rules
  • ✓Competitive battle cards
  • ✓Common objections and approved responses
  • ✓ICP and qualification criteria

What your team asks their AI

  • “Draft a follow-up email after a discovery call with a fintech prospect.”
  • “What is the discount approval process for deals over fifty thousand dollars?”
  • “How do we handle the objection that they are already using competitor X?”
  • “What are the top three discovery questions for a first call with a VP of Engineering?”

Outcome

New reps ramp in weeks, not quarters. Every outbound email sounds like your team wrote it. Pricing claims and competitive talking points stay accurate and approved.

IT

Your help desk fields the same requests over and over: password resets, VPN setup, access requests, how-to questions. AI tools could answer most of them, but the AI has no idea how your environment is configured or what your policies allow.

Example content

  • ✓Acceptable use and AI tool policies
  • ✓Password and MFA procedures
  • ✓VPN and network access
  • ✓Tool-specific how-to guides
  • ✓Access request and provisioning workflows
  • ✓Incident reporting and escalation
  • ✓Procurement and SaaS request process

What your team asks their AI

  • “How do I reset my password?”
  • “What is our acceptable use policy for AI tools?”
  • “How do I request access to Salesforce?”
  • “My VPN is failing. What are the first three things to check?”

Outcome

Tier-one ticket volume drops sharply. Employees resolve routine IT questions through the tools they already have open. Your team focuses on real engineering work instead of inbox triage.

Beyond these four

Any function with information worth governing.

The pattern is general. Anywhere your company has approved content and people who need to act on it, Cornu fits.

Legal & Compliance

Approved policies, data handling, retention schedules, and contract templates, scoped to the people allowed to see them.

Finance

Procurement procedures, approval thresholds, vendor information, and budget guidance available wherever finance partners work.

Operations

Standard operating procedures, runbooks, vendor playbooks, and escalation paths that stay current as your business changes.

Customer Success

Onboarding playbooks, escalation guides, product information, and approved responses that keep every customer conversation consistent.

Another angle

Projects work the same way.

Knowledge areas don't have to map to a department. Spin one up around a project, an initiative, or a launch, and anyone scoped in gets the full picture from whatever AI tool they prefer.

Project knowledge areas

For cross-functional initiatives

Projects span teams. Status updates live in Slack threads, decisions live in meeting notes nobody rereads, and the actual work product is spread across drives and PM tools. New stakeholders take weeks to get up to speed. Someone always misses the latest decision.

Example content

  • ✓Timeline and milestones
  • ✓Budget and forecast
  • ✓Deliverables and scope
  • ✓Meeting notes and decisions
  • ✓Stakeholder roster and roles
  • ✓Requirements and specs
  • ✓Risk register
  • ✓Weekly status updates

What your team asks their AI

  • “What is the current status of the launch?”
  • “Who is the executive sponsor and what did they last approve?”
  • “What decisions were made in the last steering committee?”
  • “How is the project tracking against budget this quarter?”

Outcome

Anyone joining the project gets up to speed in hours, not weeks. Status surfaces in whatever AI tool the team already uses. Nobody is left waiting on a status email to know where things stand.
