Onboard New Team Members Faster with AI

The first few weeks for a new employee are critical - and often overwhelming. They need to learn SOPs, understand past decisions, find templates, and absorb months of context while also trying to contribute. This usually means constant interruptions for the existing team.

Stash Desktop changes this dynamic entirely.

Connect to Your Company Knowledge Base

Point Stash Desktop at your company's file folders - whether they're in Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, or local servers:

  • Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)
  • Templates and examples
  • Past project documentation
  • Meeting notes and decision records
  • Training materials
  • Company policies and guidelines

Once connected, new employees can have conversations with an AI that has full context of your company's knowledge.

Enable Self-Service Onboarding

Instead of constantly asking senior team members basic questions, new hires can ask Stash:

SOP Lookups "How do we handle customer refund requests?" "What's our process for code reviews?" "Show me the onboarding checklist for new clients"

Template Access "Find me an example of a successful proposal we sent to enterprise clients" "What's the standard format for our monthly reports?" "Show me how we typically structure sprint planning docs"

Decision Context "Why did we choose PostgreSQL over MySQL for the new project?" "What were the considerations when we redesigned the homepage last quarter?" "How did we decide on our current pricing model?"

All without interrupting their colleagues.

Real-World Impact

Before Stash Desktop

New Employee: "Hey Sarah, where can I find the template for client proposals?"

Sarah: Stops working "Oh, check the Google Drive... I think it's in Marketing > Templates > Proposals? Or maybe it's in the Sales folder. Actually, let me find it for you..."

10 minutes later, after Sarah has stopped her own work to hunt down the file...

New Employee: "Thanks! Also, what's our policy on discount approvals?"

Sarah: Sighs internally

Multiply this by dozens of questions per day, across multiple team members, and onboarding becomes a massive drag on team productivity.

With Stash Desktop

New Employee: "Show me the template for client proposals"

Stash: Instantly provides the template with context about when to use it

New Employee: "What's our policy on discount approvals?"

Stash: Provides the policy, examples of past approvals, and escalation procedures

New Employee: "Why do we use this specific proposal structure?"

Stash: Explains the reasoning based on past meeting notes and decision documents

Zero interruptions to the existing team. The new employee gets comprehensive answers immediately, with full context.

Reduce Dependency on Senior Team Members

Your senior team members hold critical institutional knowledge, but they shouldn't be the bottleneck for every basic question.

With Stash Desktop:

  • New hires learn faster by having instant access to company knowledge
  • Senior team members stay focused on high-value work
  • Onboarding scales without adding headcount to support it
  • Knowledge is never lost when team members leave
