How Starmind Works
Starmind connects employees to the right experts by mapping company knowledge from everyday interactions. Starmind is the only AI-powered expertise network that continuously maps human knowledge in real time, no manual tagging or documentation required.

Map
Starmind’s Knowledge Engine continuously maps company knowledge from interactions across tools like Microsoft Teams, SharePoint, and Jira, identifying patterns of expertise.

Connect
When employees need help, the Expert Finder instantly matches them to the right internal expert directly in Microsoft Teams or Slack. They’re identified based on their public work and contributions, not outdated directories or job titles.

Retain
With the Knowledge Suite, business-critical information is never lost or outdated. Starmind continuously captures, organizes, and updates expert-verified answers, making the most relevant knowledge easy to find.

Evolve
As employees collaborate, the Knowledge Engine continuously refines expertise profiles and enhances recommendations—so the right insights are always at your fingertips. The more you use it, the smarter it gets.

The Starmind Knowledge Engine
At the heart of Starmind is the Knowledge Engine: our core AI technology that powers everything else. Behind the scenes, it builds two powerful graphs:
Topics Graph

Learns the language of your company and organizes knowledge into meaningful, searchable topics.
Experts Graph

Connects employees to those topics they are knowledgeable about based on the real work they do: emails, tickets, documents, and more.
Together, these create a real-time knowledge network–no manual tagging or input needed. You can purchase the Knowledge Engine as a standalone API to build custom solutions or use it with our out-of-the-box products.

Donna Mann
Director of Knowledge
Management, PepsiCo R&D
“For R&D, it’s about capturing the associate’s technical knowledge that helps today, share and pay dividends into the future. Using Starmind has enabled us to accelerate this process, and it really helps drive speed to market.”

Sebastian Hein
Product Development Quality Informatics (PDQIX) at Roche
“Imagine if 10% or 15% of 100,000 employees around the world find experts in 15 minutes instead of three weeks. How much acceleration can we have when it comes to new initiatives and experiments and other new research? This is, for me, still mind-boggling.”

Jonathan Gordon-Till
Senior Associate Principal Scientist at Mondelēz
"We were hearing from people that it was taking them sometimes up to two months to find the right solution, the best person to talk to. Now, Starmind has cut that down to hours."

Simon Margulies
Head of Self-Service Solutions, Swiss Re
“Using Starmind, we crowdsource knowledge from over 10,000 community members across the globe. This enables our employees to get fast answers to their day-to-day questions from experts throughout Swiss Re, while being able to focus their energy on their jobs.”

How does Starmind integrate with our existing tools?
Starmind easily connects to platforms like Microsoft Teams, SharePoint, and Jira. We also offer a well-documented API for custom requirements.
We already have an internal knowledge base. Why do we need Starmind?
Most internal knowledge bases work well in theory, but require manual maintenance that quickly becomes unsustainable and outdated. Starmind is the only AI-powered expertise network that continuously maps human knowledge in real time, no manual tagging or documentation required.
How does Starmind identify who the “best” expert is?
Our AI constructs a Topics Graph and Experts Graph, evaluating user contributions, recency, and depth. It then connects employees to the top-matching experts automatically.
What is the difference between a “Profile” and a “User” in Starmind?
In Starmind, a “Profile” is any employee whose expertise is mapped—regardless of whether they actively use the platform. In contrast, a “User” is someone who has been granted access to the Expert Finder or Knowledge Suite, which directly impacts pricing.
How do you handle security, data privacy, and compliance?
Starmind is ISO 27001 certified, GDPR-compliant, and uses enterprise-grade encryption. We never modify your systems, and all data is handled with robust access controls and audit logging.
Will our experts be inundated with questions?
Starmind actually reduces expert fatigue by storing answered questions in a searchable Knowledge Suite. Over time, repeated queries go down as knowledge becomes easier to find.
What are the pricing options, and how do we scale?
We offer Expert Finder, Knowledge Suite, and Knowledge Engine (API) tiers. Each tier has a base subscription plus a per-active-user fee, except the API option which is a flat rate.
Does Starmind require heavy setup or curation by our knowledge team?
No, our AI continuously learns from employee interactions without manual topic curation. They can always override the profile that is automatically updated for them.
How quickly can we roll out Starmind?
Most organizations go live in as little as six weeks. We handle the setup for you—from installation to building your organization’s expertise graph—so your team can hit the ground running with minimal effort.
