The Knowledge Hub

The Knowledge Hub is your own searchable library: how to use a piece of equipment, prep guides, SOPs, supplier info, and the answers to questions staff ask all the time. Unlike Documents, it is for everyday lookup, not formal sign-off.

Creating knowledge pages

  1. Go to Knowledge Hub and click Add Page

  2. Write the content, adding images or video where it helps

  3. Organise pages into folders

  4. Publish it so staff can see it

Ask Paddy

Ask Paddy is the AI assistant in the app. It answers staff questions from your own content, so "how do I clean the grinder?" or "what allergens are in the chocolate cake?" get answers based on your knowledge pages, documents, allergen matrix, and records, not generic web advice.

Paddy draws on a wide range of your data:

  • Knowledge pages, documents, and SOPs

  • Your allergen matrix and menu

  • Live compliance signals such as training status and overdue checks

  • Published help articles, so it can explain how Paddl itself works

The more you add, the better Paddy gets. If staff ask something Paddy cannot answer well, add a knowledge page covering it, written in the words your team actually use, and Paddy will use it next time.

What Paddy will and will not do

  • It answers from your published content and tells you when it does not have the information, rather than guessing

  • It is guidance, not a substitute for professional or legal advice, so always verify safety-critical decisions

  • If it cannot help, staff can ask to speak to a human and reach your support team
