One platform. Every use case.
Your documents drive the answers.

Pre-built applications, partner knowledge bases, and custom AI workflows — all governed, cited, and scoped to your team.

Live Example — Cross-Reference Lookup
💬 “What's the approved substitute for Eaton CL220 in residential panels?”
The approved substitute for the Eaton CL220 in residential load centers is the Eaton BR220 (20A, 2-pole). Both are UL-listed for the same CH/BR panel families. Verify panel label for specific listing before installation.

Frequently asked questions.

What's the difference between pre-built apps and custom applications?

Pre-built apps are ready-to-deploy solutions designed by BearCreek for common industrial workflows like cross-reference lookup, onboarding, and compliance checking. Custom applications are built around your specific documents and processes — you define the knowledge bases, access rules, and query templates. Both deliver the same governed, cited answers.

How does the partner marketplace work?

IP owners and manufacturers publish their technical content as governed knowledge bases. Your team accesses them through the same knowledgeXpert interface alongside your proprietary content. Partner content is version-controlled and always current — updates flow automatically without manual PDF swaps.

Can I combine pre-built apps with my own knowledge bases?

Yes. Deep Research, for example, can query across all your knowledge bases — internal and marketplace — simultaneously. You can also layer custom prompt templates on top of pre-built apps to tailor them to your specific terminology and workflows.

How long does deployment take?

Pre-built solutions can be live in days. Custom applications typically take 2–4 weeks depending on the volume and complexity of your document library. Our team handles knowledge base setup, access configuration, and initial prompt tuning.

What happens to my data?

Your documents are encrypted at rest and in transit, deployed in a single-tenant environment, and never used to train AI models. BearCreek AI is SOC 2 Type I and ISO 27001 certified. You retain full ownership and can export or delete your data at any time.

Can I try it before committing?

Yes. Start a free trial at knowledgexpert.bearcreek.com — a credit card is required to start, but you won't be charged during the trial. Upload your own documents and experience governed, cited answers firsthand. For enterprise evaluations, book a demo and we'll walk you through a pilot scoped to your team.
