Typical Internal Tools

• Internal Slack/Teams bot answering from company wiki
• Coding assistant for the engineering team
• Onboarding Q&A bot for new hires
• Meeting summariser posting notes to Slack
• Email drafting assistant integrated in Outlook/Gmail
• HR policy Q&A for employees

Stack

LLM:       Llama 3 8B FP8 or Qwen 14B AWQ
Embedding: BGE-base
Vector DB: Qdrant (wikis, SOPs, handbooks)
Frontend:  OpenWebUI, Slack app, or custom internal portal
Auth:      OAuth / SAML against your SSO provider

Access Control

• SSO integration so only employees can hit the API
• Per-user rate limits to prevent accidental runaway
• Log every query for auditability
• Allow-list prompts for sensitive workflows (e.g. HR data requires extra approval)
• Scope vector-DB indices by team (engineering sees engineering KB, HR sees HR KB)

Cost vs Per-Seat SaaS

Break-even for most SaaS licences is 10-20 employees. Above that, hosting your own on a dedicated GPU is cheaper – especially as headcount grows.
