Help partners find material for a sales meeting
Short answer
An AI knowledge base for sales partners points to the approved material that fits the conversation, for example a service overview for a first meeting with an operations manager, and says whether the partner may pass it to the client. An AI application on company documents costs from €3,000 net at Syntalith. At 200 partner questions a month and 12 minutes of searching each, it pays back in 2.5 months.

A deck that fits the person you are meeting
A partner has a first meeting with a prospect's operations manager and asks: „What should I show to explain how the service is used?”. The library holds an overview of the workflow and a detailed document for the integration team. The file names do not say this, so the partner writes to the partner manager and waits for an answer.
- For which conversation and which audience
- Whether the partner may pass the file to the client
- The date of the last update and the owner of the material
- Material for the next stage of the conversation
„I need a deck” can mean an introduction to the service, an answer to a doubt or preparing a specialist, so when the question is unclear the assistant asks about the goal. The application's scope covers finding and explaining the material, with no new quote generated and no contact with the client.
What it costs and when it pays back

The volume, the time and the checking share are the scenario's assumptions. €34.90 an hour is the EU average hourly labour cost for 2025 according to Eurostat. Model: 6,000 input tokens and 500 output tokens per call at Anthropic's rates, at the ECB rate of 1.1205 USD per euro on 22 October 2026.
The model is a small item here. The result depends on the time that searching and asking around take today, and on how much of it remains for checking the answer. With partners, the cost is also the time of the partner manager who answers the same questions about materials. In the trial we count the questions passed to the partner manager before and after the assistant goes live.
Before we price the build, we run a test on 20 to 100 questions the team has already asked: we compare the application's answer with what the employee found by hand, and we count the time from the question to the source. The test takes 5 working days and costs €0.
A sales portal may already do this
Seismic describes finding sales content by audience, role and buying stage. If the company has a similar tool, check whether partners have access to it and whether the materials have descriptions. An assistant is better justified when materials are scattered, partners ask in their own words, and partner managers keep explaining what the files are for.

Where to start
The first scope is the materials for first conversations about one product line. Marketing adds the purpose and audience, and partner managers judge the answers on questions they received in recent weeks.
For the first call, one question that keeps coming back to colleagues and where the team looks for the answer are enough. You do not need to send confidential documents, and you receive the written plan within 2 working days.

Our assumptions are 8 minutes to find an answer in documents or ask a colleague, and checking in 15% of the old time. €34.90 an hour is the EU average hourly labour cost for 2025 according to Eurostat, for companies with 10 or more employees. Model cost: Claude Sonnet 5.5, about 6,000 + 500 tokens per answer from documents, at the ECB rate of 1.1205 USD per euro on 22 October 2026.
