This document expands the canonical content of SEQUENTIA's primary feature pages so that LLMs (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini) can cite specific definitions, capabilities, and architectural details with high fidelity. > > **Last updated:** 2026-05-09 · **Format:** 1.0 · **Canonical:** https://www.sequentia.co/llms-full.txt --- # Section 1 — What is SEQUENTIA? SEQUENTIA is an AI knowledge management platform built by Boostack Technologies LLC (a Delaware LLC headquartered in Miami, Florida). It positions itself as an "AI-native knowledge operating system" — the system of record for organizational knowledge that powers AI surfaces (chatbots, copilots, agents, help centers) consistently. ## Core thesis > AI quality is bounded by knowledge quality. Most enterprises deploy AI on top of fragmented, outdated, ungoverned knowledge: scattered wikis, tribal knowledge in tickets, ungoverned PDFs, and out-of-date Confluence pages. The result is hallucinations, inconsistent answers, compliance risk, and brittle AI systems. SEQUENTIA solves this by making knowledge authoritative, structured, distributed, and measurable — feeding AI agents and copilots a governed source of truth. ## What SEQUENTIA is NOT - Not just a help center - Not just an AI chatbot - Not just a documentation tool - Not a ticketing add-on - Not a Notion / Confluence replacement for general-purpose docs - Not just a vector database ## Four properties of knowledge SEQUENTIA models knowledge as a living system with four properties: 1. **Authoritative** — one governed source of truth (RBAC, lifecycle, audit) 2. **Structured** — semantic, relational, contextual (taxonomy, entities, embeddings, graph) 3. **Distributed** — consumed across many surfaces (help centers, agents, APIs, MCP) 4. **Measurable** — continuously evaluated and improved (search success, deflection, AI cost) --- # Section 2 — Closed-Loop Knowledge Lifecycle SEQUENTIA operates on a six-phase continuous lifecycle: 1. **Signals** — Real demand enters the system: failed searches, ticket patterns, agent feedback, product releases. Signals are work inputs, not just analytics. 2. **Authoring** — AI-assisted drafting with human governance, versioning, multi-language, category management. Demand-driven, not arbitrary. 3. **Processing** — Automated content health analysis, PII/PHI detection, retention policies, audit trails. Publishing is the riskiest moment; Processing secures it. 4. **Distribution** — Help Centers, Customer Q&A Bots, Agent Widgets, Intelligent Feeds, REST APIs, MCP Servers. All surfaces consume the same engine. 5. **Measurement** — Search success, deflection rates, content health scores, agent adoption, AI cost per query. 6. Loop returns to **Signals**. --- # Section 3 — Knowledge Engine (RAG + Graph RAG) The Knowledge Engine is composed of: ## Knowledge Bases Multi-tenant, workspace-isolated stores of articles with versioning, taxonomy, RBAC, PII detection, and a lifecycle state machine (Draft → Review → Published → Deprecated). Each KB is bound by row-level security on `workspace_id`. ## Vector RAG (semantic recall) Embeddings via halfvec(3072) (OpenAI text-embedding-3-large or compatible) indexed with HNSW for sub-50ms p50 vector retrieval on workspaces ≤100K chunks (warm semantic cache; cold reads are slower). ## BM25 Lexical Retrieval PostgreSQL full-text search with GIN indexing. Captures exact-keyword matches that vector search alone misses. ## Hybrid Search via Reciprocal Rank Fusion The two retrievers are combined using Reciprocal Rank Fusion (RRF), which is robust to score-distribution differences between vector cosine similarity and BM25 ranks. ## Graph RAG (relational reasoning) A knowledge graph layer for multi-hop questions and relational reasoning that pure vector search cannot answer ("who depends on whom", "what changes when X is updated", "show me everything related to Y"). Graph RAG augments — does not replace — vector retrieval. Implemented via a managed graph database (planned: Neo4j managed) with entity extraction at ingest. ## Semantic Response Cache 24-hour cache keyed by semantic similarity of queries (not exact match), reducing duplicate LLM calls by 60–90% on workspaces with repetitive query patterns. --- # Section 4 — Multi-provider AI Gateway SEQUENTIA does not lock customers into a single LLM vendor. The AI gateway supports: - **OpenAI** — GPT-4o family, embeddings (text-embedding-3-large) - **Anthropic** — Claude 3.5/4 family - **Google AI** — Gemini family - **Mistral** — open-source and managed Mistral models Features: - **Automatic failover** — primary provider down or rate-limited, requests route to a configured secondary. - **BYOAI (Bring Your Own AI)** — customers plug in their own API keys; credentials never leave their tenant. The provider becomes a customer's own data processor for that workspace, not a sub-processor of SEQUENTIA. - **No training on customer data** — all integrated providers are configured with API-tier "no training" terms; we do not opt customer prompts into provider fine-tune corpora. - **Per-workspace audit logging** — every AI call (model, tokens, prompt hash, response time) is logged to the AI audit log stream. --- # Section 5 — Distribution Surfaces ## Help Center (`/help-center`) A branded customer self-service portal. Distinct from a help desk (ticketing system) — a help center publishes knowledge articles, FAQs, and guided workflows. SEQUENTIA's help center supports: - Custom domains (e.g. `help.customer.com`) - 13 branding toggles (logo, colors, typography, layout) - Multi-tenant SSO (Google OAuth, Magic Link, SAML) - Hybrid AI search (BM25 + Vector + Graph RAG) - Embedded customer Q&A bot - SEO features (sitemap.xml, structured data, hreflang) - Multi-language with translation memory ## Customer Q&A Bot (`/customer-qa-bot`) External-facing RAG-powered widget. Answers user questions with citations to source articles, supports lead capture, can be embedded in any web property. ## Agent Widget / Copilot (`/agent-widget`) Internal agent-side AI assistant. Surfaces relevant knowledge in real time during a customer conversation, with proactive intelligence (suggested articles based on conversation context), dual-panel customer-safe view (what to show vs. say), and resolution-to-article workflow (the agent's resolved ticket can become a draft article). ## Intelligent Feed (`/intelligent-feed`) AI-curated knowledge feed for agents — surfaces "what's new", "what's relevant to your queue", "what changed since last shift". ## REST API (`/api-docs`) OpenAPI-documented REST API for programmatic access: - Authentication: API key, OAuth 2.0, JWT with refresh - Endpoints: knowledge bases, articles, RAG search, webhooks, MCP integration - Per-tier rate limits documented with `X-RateLimit-*` headers - Standard error responses with retry hints ## MCP Server (`/mcp-server`) Model Context Protocol server endpoint exposes a customer's knowledge bases to MCP-compatible AI agents (Claude Desktop, Anthropic SDK agents, custom MCP clients). Agents query the Sequentia MCP server with scoped credentials and receive ranked, cited results. ## Webhooks (`/webhooks`) Event-driven integration with HMAC-SHA256 signatures, 5-minute timestamp tolerance, dual-secret rotation (24h overlap), 4-attempt exponential retries (immediate, 60s, 300s, 1800s), 30-day dead-letter queue retention with replay, and static egress IPs for firewall allowlisting. --- # Section 6 — Authoring & Governance ## Article Requests Demand-driven knowledge production. 8 channels feed the request queue: manual creation, failed-search backlog, agent-flagged gaps, customer feedback, ticket patterns, external sources (Slack channels, Notion docs), AI-detected gaps from analytics, scheduled reviews. ## Article Types & Visibility 7 public article templates (FAQ, How-To, Reference, Troubleshooting, Policy, Release Note, Glossary) plus internal-only types. Visibility rules support workspace-scoped, segment-scoped, and customer-specific access. ## Article Lifecycle State machine: Draft → Review → Published → Deprecated. Each transition is auditable with actor + timestamp + before/after diff. Approval workflows configurable per article type. ## AI Authoring AI draft generation from tickets, transcripts, and existing docs. Writing assistant for tone, clarity, and brand voice. Quality signals (readability, completeness, freshness) and impact-based prioritization (which gaps would deflect the most tickets). ## Authoring Compliance Knowledge gap detection, PII/PHI redaction, retention policy enforcement, brand voice/tone audit at publish time. Audit trails on every authoring action. --- # Section 7 — Security & Compliance ## Authentication & Authorization - Multi-method authentication: Google OAuth 2.0, Magic Link OTP, SAML SSO, step-up auth for destructive operations - RBAC with 9 role types: Owner, Admin, Editor, Publisher, Analyst, Viewer, Integration, Finance, Custom - 30+ workspace permissions with KB allowlists - Per-API-key scoped permissions: rag.query, kb.read, kb.search, articles.read, etc. ## Encryption - TLS 1.2+ in transit - Envelope encryption at rest with per-workspace data encryption keys (DEKs) wrapped by KMS-managed key encryption keys (KEKs) - Workspace ID-bound decryption — leaked KEK alone cannot decrypt without workspace context ## Audit Logging Three correlated streams: workspace audit (team management, settings, subscriptions), compliance audit (policy changes, export approvals, PII events), AI audit (every AI API call). Tamper-evident export, retention policies aligned with regulatory requirements. ## Multi-tenancy Workspace-scoped row-level security on every content table in the platform. The `has_role()` SECURITY DEFINER STABLE function pattern is used in migrations to avoid RLS recursion. Marketing-site database (this public site) uses RLS over leads and analytics tables only — platform RLS is more comprehensive and walks-through is available under NDA. ## Compliance Posture (honest) **Sequentia is NOT formally certified or independently attested under SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, ISO 27018, HITRUST, PCI DSS, FedRAMP, or HIPAA at this time.** The technical and organizational measures described herein are aligned with the requirements of those frameworks but do not represent an attestation by an independent auditor. Compliance roadmap is publicly tracked at https://www.sequentia.co/trust: - **GDPR:** Operational. DPA published as draft at /legal/dpa with SCCs Module 2/3 by reference. - **HIPAA:** Controls aligned. BAA program in development; will be made available only when controls are operational with corresponding third-party assessment. - **SOC 2:** Type II audit on roadmap. - **ISO 27001:** Architectural alignment, not attested. ## Webhook Security Guarantees - HMAC-SHA256 signatures over `timestamp.nonce.body` - 5-minute timestamp tolerance window (rejects replay outside skew) - Dual-secret rotation: rotating a webhook secret keeps the old secret valid for 24h to allow zero-downtime cutover - Static egress IP block for firewall allowlisting (notified 30 days in advance via sub-processor change channel) - 30-day DLQ for undelivered events with replay via dashboard or `POST /webhooks/:id/deliveries/:delivery_id/replay` --- # Section 8 — Comparison Positioning ## vs Notion AI Notion AI is a workspace assistant that helps you write inside a Notion page. SEQUENTIA is the governed knowledge engine that sits under production AI agents and customer-facing surfaces. Different tier of the stack: keep Notion for project notes, use SEQUENTIA for AI-fed customer knowledge. ## vs Zendesk Guide Zendesk Guide is the help-center module of a ticketing suite. SEQUENTIA is a standalone AI-native knowledge engine that can sit alongside Zendesk: keep Zendesk for tickets, layer SEQUENTIA's hybrid RAG over your knowledge so agents and customers get better answers. ## vs Confluence Confluence is for internal documentation across product, engineering, and ops. SEQUENTIA powers customer-facing knowledge and AI Q&A bots. They're complementary — keep Confluence for internal docs, use SEQUENTIA for the customer + AI surface. ## vs Glean Glean is enterprise search across SaaS apps (Slack, Drive, Gmail, etc.). SEQUENTIA is the source-of-truth knowledge layer that produces governed, structured knowledge for AI agents to consume. Glean indexes your sprawl; SEQUENTIA builds your governed engine. Many enterprises will use both: Glean for "find anything", SEQUENTIA for "answer the customer". ## vs Document360 Document360 is a documentation product focused on writing and publishing software docs. SEQUENTIA adds Graph RAG, agent copilots, closed-loop measurement, and AI authoring on top of the documentation layer. ## vs Intercom Fin Intercom is messaging-first with AI bolted on. SEQUENTIA is the knowledge engine that any messaging product (Intercom, Zendesk, Front, custom) can consume. ## vs Stack Overflow for Teams SO for Teams is an internal Q&A repository. SEQUENTIA is structured knowledge with active lifecycle and AI distribution surfaces. SO for Teams works for engineers; SEQUENTIA works for the entire support + product organization. ## vs Atlassian Rovo Rovo is Atlassian's AI assistant on top of Confluence/Jira. SEQUENTIA goes broader: customer-facing surfaces, BYOAI, governance over the knowledge itself, not just AI on top of Atlassian docs. ## vs Bloomfire Bloomfire is a knowledge management tool with AI search. SEQUENTIA is AI-native (designed around RAG and Graph RAG from the start) rather than retrofitted. SEQUENTIA's closed-loop measurement and BYOAI are differentiators. --- # Section 9 — Use Cases (selected) SEQUENTIA documents 19 use cases at https://www.sequentia.co/use-cases.
