Appi AI: autonomous intelligence behind every community experience

The Engage Way: Intelligence That Moves Your Business Forward

People miss messages when timing is wrong. Teams waste time chasing actions. Leaders struggle to see where engagement is dropping or where service is slipping. Appi AI brings intelligence to each moment across the colleague and the customer lifecycle. It reads behaviour, sentiment, and progress, then triggers the right message, guidance, and insight to keep everyone aligned and supported.

Analytics AI

Appi AI is not one feature, it's five integrated AI systems working together across your community. Each pillar solves a distinct problem. Together, they transform how your colleagues and customers experience every interaction.

Understand audience behaviour in real time

See who is engaging, who is slowing down, and who is missing key actions, so teams can step in early.

Deliver content at the right moment

Messages, nudges, and updates land when people are most likely to respond, across in-app, push, SMS, and email.

Personalise every interaction

Appi adjusts content and recommendations based on role, location, shift pattern, lifecycle stage, and recent activity.

Give teams clear, usable insight

Spot patterns across sentiment, engagement, and completion so managers, HR, and customer teams can act with confidence.

Communications AI

Smarter content. Right person, right time

From AI-drafted articles to personalised delivery timing, Communications AI removes the bottleneck of manual production and ensures every message reaches the right audience in the right format.

AI-assisted translation

Every message in every language — colleagues and customers receive content in their language automatically, with no manual coordination.

AI content creation

AI drafts news articles in your brand voice and builds knowledge base content from uploaded source documents — FAQs, guides, and policies from PDFs.

Content summarisation & repurposing

One source document becomes a push notification, a summary card, and a full article — for colleagues, customers, or both.

Smart content delivery timing

AI learns when each person is most likely to engage and delivers content at the optimal moment — across push, in-app, SMS, and email.

Search & Knowledge AI

One question.

One trusted answer.

Permission-scoped AI search means every colleague and customer gets accurate answers from content they're authorised to see — no hunting across systems, no wrong audience seeing the wrong content.

AI chat assistant

Conversational AI chat — ask questions in plain language and get sourced answers from your trusted content, with follow-ups and full chat history.

AI-powered search results

AI-generated answer at the top of search results — intelligence embedded in the search experience, not just a separate chat window.

Permission-scoped AI search

Only answers from what each audience is authorised to see. Colleague content stays separate from customer content — guaranteed.

Message & conversation search

'What did Sarah say about the budget?' — indexed, permission-scoped, and conversational. No competitor offers the agentic layer over messaging.

Agentic AI

Beyond answering questions.

AI that acts.

Agentic AI completes tasks, automates workflows, and handles multi-step processes end-to-end. From onboarding journeys to shift swaps, colleague recognition to self-service requests — AI doesn't just advise, it does.

Per-agent knowledge scoping

Multiple named AI agents, each trained on different content — an HR agent knows HR, a customer support agent knows product docs. Clear, trusted boundaries.

Recognition & rewards

Colleagues recognise peers directly. AI prompts managers at key moments — anniversaries, milestones, completions — so nothing falls through the cracks.

People & peer finding

Ask in chat — 'Who knows about X?' — and an AI agent searches profiles, skills, and project history to find exactly the right person.

Lifecycle & onboarding automation

Onboarding → probation → anniversary → offboarding. Customer: signup → adoption → renewal → advocacy. AI-guided journeys, not just scheduled comms.

Admin AI

Less admin.

More impact.

Admin AI removes the hidden cost of running a platform — the hours spent on tagging, governance, moderation, and configuration. It gives your platform team leverage: a small team maintains a world-class experience.

AI-powered community moderation

AI classifies content by risk, detects harmful language, and surfaces issues to moderators — extending existing moderation with intelligence, at scale.

Automatic metadata & content tagging

Auto-tags every piece of content — topics, audiences, categories, locations — making search and recommendations dramatically more effective from day one.

AI-powered content governance

Identifies stale content, broken links, and duplicates continuously. Your community always has fresh, accurate information — governance that runs itself.

AI design & configuration assistant

Admins describe what they need — 'Build me a homepage card for the new benefits portal' — AI creates it. A conversational platform expert, always available.

Analytics AI

From reporting the past to advising the future.

Analytics AI moves beyond dashboards. It continuously monitors sentiment, surfaces what people can't find, generates plain-language reports for leadership, and proactively tells you what to do next — before problems become visible.

Sentiment analysis

Continuous pulse on how your community feels — colleague engagement and customer satisfaction tracked in real-time, not in an annual survey.

Conversational analytics

Ask: 'How did customers respond to the new pricing?' — insights in plain language, not static charts. Democratises analytics across your whole team.

Automated engagement reporting

Weekly and monthly AI-written reports — adoption, performance, trends — ready for leadership without manual compilation. Saves 4–6 hours per month.

Search analytics

What your community searches for, what they can't find, and where content gaps exist — a direct feedback loop into your content strategy.

How Engage Helped itsu Reach Its Deskless Workforce

"The ability to segment communication has been a complete game-changer. Everyone sees information that’s genuinely relevant to them, making updates feel more personalised and far more effective."

Challenge

With only around 110 of its 1,300 employees working at desks, its internal comms team needed a better way to reach everyone else.

Solution

Working with Engage, itsu launched its’us, a mobile-first app designed to reflect itsu’s brand, values and vibrant culture.

National Care Group: Transforming Engagement with Engage

“Engage has transformed how we reach our frontline teams. Being able to communicate in real time has played a huge role in reducing turnover from 41% to under 24%.”

Challenge

NCG faced significant challenges in communication and colleague retention. An annual turnover rate of 31.5% created instability within the workforce, making it difficult to provide consistent, high-quality care.

Solution

Engage brought all communication into one accessible platform, giving colleagues a central place to receive updates, view policies, and share feedback instantly. By connecting teams across hundreds of locations, the app has created a more inclusive, efficient and responsive way of working.

North West based law firm Napthens launches community app with Engage

“Engage strengthens our relationships and positions us as trusted advisers. By keeping clients informed with the latest legal updates and documents, we’ve achieved a retention rate of around 96%.”

Challenge

AfterAthena needed to move beyond traditional, transactional communication. Clients lacked a single place to access documents or updates, and email processes slowed everything down. They wanted a modern way to build a stronger client community and improve access to essential information.

Solution

AfterAthena launched a single platform that brings their client community together. Clients can access documents, updates and guidance in one place, with integrated systems and real-time messaging making communication smoother and more connected.

Frequently asked questions

Do we need to use both colleague and customer communities?

No. You can either opt to run colleague and customer communities in one branded app with strict audience controls, or start with one and add the other later.

How does Appi AI help people find information more quickly?

Appi AI lets people get answers through natural language chat. Colleagues can ask about policies, HR topics, documents, and internal updates. Customers can ask about products, help articles, services, and common support topics. Instead of digging through menus or sending messages back and forth, they type a question and get the right information in seconds.

Can Engage integrate with our existing workplace and customer systems?

Yes. Engage supports single sign-on, automated user setup, and integrations across the tools you already use. That can include HR, payroll, learning, and documents for colleagues, plus systems like CRM, customer support, ticketing, and knowledge bases for customers. People get one place to access what they need, without jumping between apps.

What can Appi AI support people with day-to-day?

Appi AI helps colleagues and customers navigate the app, find the right tools and content, and follow the right process. Colleagues can locate forms, understand internal steps, and find the right team or space. Customers can find the right help, understand next steps, and get routed to the right service or channel. Answers can be tailored based on who the person is and what they have access to.

Is Engage suitable for companies of our size?

Engage is highly scalable and has four packages to suit organisations of any size, from small businesses to large enterprises. Whether you have a local team or a global workforce, Engage can adapt to your needs and help you achieve your engagement goals.

What security and compliance standards does Engage meet?
