The new hire
“How do we handle a warranty callback?”
Gets the process, the exceptions, and where it’s all written down — without pulling the ops manager off a job.
Rebar KB
Your Drive already knows.
Now it can answer.
Rebar KB turns the documents your team already keeps in Google Drive into a living knowledge base — so anyone can ask a question and get the answer your company already wrote down, instead of interrupting the one person who remembers.
No new app to learn. No migration. Installing is sharing a folder.
The problem
Your company’s answers exist. Nobody can find them.
A decade of proposals, processes, decisions, and hard-won lessons is sitting in your Google Drive right now. It’s all there — and it might as well not be:
The same questions interrupt your best people every day — questions they already answered in a doc somewhere.
New hires take months to get useful, because everything they need to know is scattered across a thousand files.
And when someone leaves, everything that only lived in their head walks out the door with them.
The plan
Three steps to a team that stops re-asking.
Step 01
Share a folder
Point Rebar KB at the Drive folder where your company’s knowledge lives. That’s the whole install — no software, no migration, nothing new to learn.
Step 02
Get your knowledge base
We turn what’s in it into a living, organized knowledge base that stays in your own Drive — and stays current as your files change.
Step 03
Ask anything
Your team asks in plain language, right inside the AI tools they already use, and gets answers drawn from your own documents.
In practice
What asking looks like.
The office manager
“What did we agree with the supplier on lead times?”
Gets the terms from the signed proposal, plus the meeting notes they came from.
The owner
“Have we done a job like this before?”
Gets every similar project on record — what you bid, what it cost, and how it went.
Same knowledge base, every department — answers come back with the source documents they were drawn from, so anyone can check the original.
What you get
A knowledge base you own — not a black box you rent.
It lives in your Drive
The knowledge base is Google Docs in your own Drive — browsable, searchable, and shareable like everything else you keep there. If you ever leave, you keep all of it.
Your files stay untouched
Source documents are read-only to us. The only place Rebar KB ever writes is the _Knowledge Base folder it maintains — it never edits, moves, or deletes anything of yours.
Always current
We watch your Drive for changes and re-synthesize the affected pages. New docs and edits flow into the knowledge base on their own — no re-upload, no re-index button.
Video becomes knowledge
Meeting recordings and trainings are transcribed automatically and woven into topic pages, with the transcripts saved back to your Drive as searchable docs.
You control the scope
Exclude any folder or file — retroactively. Name a folder .noindex and it is never touched. Spreadsheets are skipped by default so operational data stays out of the wiki.
A visible audit trail
An ingest log lives in your Drive showing exactly what was read, when, and what was written. No black box between your files and your knowledge base.
Privacy & data
Your knowledge. Your Drive. Our guardrails.
A knowledge base only works if you can trust it with everything. These are the questions privacy-minded teams ask us first — answered plainly.
