Digital Clone: Make Expert Knowledge Intelligently Available
Employees receive concrete, source-based answers and guidance—securely, in context, and whenever they need it.
When Knowledge Is Fragmented, Important Connections Remain Hidden
Documents, process descriptions, and business applications usually contain only part of the knowledge employees actually need. Practical experience, decision-making logic, root causes, and proven measures are often not fully documented or are known only to individual experts.
A Digital Clone brings this knowledge together and maps not only individual pieces of information, but also the relationships between them.
What is a Digital Clone?
It does not replicate a specific individual. Instead, it makes an organization’s collective knowledge available in a structured, contextualized, and conversational format.
From Fragmented Knowledge to a Digital Expert
A Digital Clone makes existing organizational information accessible and supplements it with the practical knowledge of subject-matter experts.
A semantic knowledge model connects documents, tasks, competencies, process steps, error patterns, causes, measures, and relevant parameters. This creates a professional context that employees can access by asking questions in natural language.
- Make Knowledge Accessible
Information from documents, business applications, intranets, wikis, and other sources is made centrally accessible. - Add Expert Knowledge
Subject-matter experts contribute missing knowledge through short texts, voice input, interviews, or other simple input methods. - Model Relationships
Tasks, processes, competencies, errors, causes, measures, and dependencies are semantically connected. - Identify Knowledge Gaps
Missing, incomplete, or insufficiently documented information becomes visible. - Review and Approve Knowledge
Responsible subject-matter experts verify, supplement, and approve the content. - Ask Questions and Take Action
Employees receive concrete, source-based answers, instructions, and recommendations for action. - Continuously Expand Knowledge
New experience and subject-matter changes are continuously incorporated into the Digital Clone.
What Makes a Digital Clone Different from Traditional Knowledge Search?
Traditional search provides documents and lists of results. A Digital Clone goes further by establishing professional relationships between information and directly supporting employees with specific tasks and decisions.
For example, it can show:
- which steps are required in a particular situation,
- which root causes may be relevant,
- which measures have proven effective in comparable cases,
- which information is still missing for a reliable answer.
This means that knowledge is not merely found, but placed in a specific operational context.
Where Can a Digital Clone Provide Support?
- Service and Maintenance
Error patterns, causes, checks, and proven measures are connected and made available for specific cases. - Onboarding and Employee Cover
New employees and colleagues providing cover receive not only documents, but also transparent answers and practical guidance. - Complex Processes
Dependencies, exceptional cases, and decision criteria are presented clearly and transparently. - Expert Succession
The knowledge of experienced specialists remains available when they change roles or leave the organization. - Knowledge-Intensive Decisions
Employees receive relevant information in the appropriate professional context and can better understand the basis for decisions.

Information from different sources is centrally accessed and made available for combined use. - Make Relationships Easier to Understand
Tasks, processes, root causes, measures, and dependencies are semantically connected. - Make Knowledge Gaps Visible
The solution shows which information is still missing for a task or decision. - Take the Right Action Faster
Employees receive concrete answers and instructions instead of long lists of search results. - Continuously Expand Knowledge
Subject-matter experts can easily add new experience as part of their everyday work. - Access Knowledge Securely
Answers respect existing access permissions and are based on approved, transparent sources.
Reliable Answers Based on Approved Organizational Knowledge
A Digital Clone uses only information that the individual employee is authorized to access. Sources and professional context remain transparent and traceable.
New knowledge is not published without review. Instead, responsible subject-matter experts verify, supplement, and approve the content. This creates a growing digital expert that employees can rely on in their day-to-day work.
