What are the benefits of a Connector?

Connecting your data sources to Starmind currently serves two different purposes.

1. Build the Knowledge Engine (who knows what)

Expertise isn't just written down, it's embedded in how people work.

Every day, employees leave behind a trail of signals (digital breadcrumbs) throughout their workday: messages, documents, tickets, code, and more. These signals aren't just isolated data points; they reveal what people actually know, without requiring them to fill out skills profiles.

At Starmind, our AI intelligently processes these signals by integrating with key enterprise systems, such as collaboration tools, document repositories, codebases, and project management platforms. Instead of relying on outdated self-reported skills or rigid organisational charts, we analyse real work outputs to derive an authentic, always-up-to-date understanding of expertise. Our connectors seamlessly tap into these knowledge streams, transforming scattered traces into structured insights.

By capturing the implicit knowledge flow within an organisation, Starmind makes expertise visible, ensuring that every employee can benefit from the company's collective intelligence.

While many Starmind clients have had successful rollouts without connecting any of their data sources to Starmind, doing so offers many benefits:

• Starmind can be the primary source for accessing all expert knowledge in an organisation, without requiring everyone to use the platform, thus actively reducing "app overload."
• Starmind will not be a tool for specific topics or departments, but can develop a more holistic understanding of who knows what.
• Starmind will be smarter from day one at launch and when expanding to new departments.

2. Improve the quality of StarGPT answers

We can utilise the same connectors used to create expertise profiles to deliver content to StarGPT. This will enhance the quality of answers produced by StarGPT as they will be based on documents you have published on SharePoint (or other document management platforms).
