Onboarding and handoff

You signed, and here is what happens next

This is the page to send your team. It walks through how Rapidflare takes you from a signed deal to a production AI experience: what we need from you, what we handle, and who you will be working with along the way.

From your kickoff call onward, a dedicated Forward Deployed Engineer works alongside your team to turn requirements into a working deployment, so nobody on your side is left guessing what comes next.

What to tell your team

The first question you will get is “who has to build this?”

Here is the honest answer, and the one worth relaying: introducing enterprise AI can easily become another internal implementation project. This one is built not to.

The work that existsWho it falls on

Data needs to be connected

Rapidflare

Knowledge needs to be structured

Rapidflare

Agents need to be configured

Rapidflare

Answers need to be evaluated

Rapidflare

Edge cases need to be investigated

Rapidflare

Integrations need to work

Rapidflare

Feedback needs to be monitored

Rapidflare

And someone needs to keep improving all of it once real users arrive

Rapidflare, ongoing

Rapidflare is designed so that work does not fall on your team.

Our customer success and engineering teams manage the process end to end, from knowledge ingestion and configuration through testing, launch, and ongoing optimization. And every Rapidflare customer works with a Forward Deployed Engineer from onboarding throughout the partnership.

Your handoff, step by step

Five steps from signature to production, and your team owns one line in each

1

Start with the knowledge you already have

You do not need to reorganize your product information before working with Rapidflare. Start with the sources your teams already use.

That might include
Product catalogsDatasheets and PDFsTechnical documentationWebsites and URL listsKnowledge basesSharePointGoogle DriveConfluenceYouTube contentInternal product information
Your team

Point us to the relevant sources and tell us what matters.

Rapidflare

Ingest, structure, configure, and prepare that knowledge for your AI experience.

2

We configure the experience around your business

You are not handed a generic agent and asked to configure it yourself. We work with you to understand who will use the agent, what they need to accomplish, which products and knowledge it should cover, how it should behave, what a good answer looks like, and where the experience needs to be deployed. Rapidflare then handles the underlying configuration, from product coverage and instructions to starter prompts and deployment requirements.

Your team

Give us business and product context.

Rapidflare

Turn it into the working experience.

3

We test before your users depend on it

Before broader rollout, the agent goes through evaluation and testing. We look at real questions, answer quality, positive and negative feedback, knowledge gaps, product-data issues, and edge cases. When something does not work, our job is not simply to record a bad answer. We investigate why it happened and work on the underlying issue.

Your team

Bring in domain expertise when a product or business judgment is required.

Rapidflare

Run evaluation, investigate issues, make improvements, and prepare the experience for launch.

4

We help take it live

Once the experience is ready, Rapidflare works with your team on deployment: the website experience, internal environment, integration, workflow, or other surface your use case needs. Your Forward Deployed Engineer stays close to the technical requirements, so your team does not need to become experts in deploying or configuring Rapidflare.

Your team

Review and approve.

Rapidflare

Help get it into production.

5

Launch is not where our work stops

Real users will ask questions no test suite predicted. That is useful. Once your agent is live, Rapidflare continues to monitor how it performs and works with your team to improve it. Your deployment keeps learning from what happens in production.

That can include
Usage and feedback monitoringPerformance reportingInvestigation of incorrect or incomplete answersProduct and catalog correctionsKnowledge-source updatesStarter-prompt optimizationNew product coverageNew workflows and use casesIntegration improvements
Your team

Tell us what looks right, what does not, and what matters most.

Rapidflare

Monitor, investigate, and keep the agent improving.

You do not do this alone

Every Rapidflare customer gets a Forward Deployed Engineer

Your Forward Deployed Engineer works alongside your team from onboarding throughout the partnership. They become familiar with your deployment, knowledge sources, technical environment, and requirements, and help turn what your business needs into a working Rapidflare experience.

So when something needs to be configured, investigated, integrated, expanded, or improved, your team is not left figuring it out alone.

Meet your Forward Deployed Engineer

Forward Deployed Engineering is included as part of every Rapidflare engagement.

Bring your team along

The questions you will get internally, and what to tell them

You are not buying software and being handed an implementation guide. You are getting a team that helps put it into production. Here is how to explain that to the people who will ask.

IT and security

“Is this another system we have to operate and secure?”

No. Rapidflare owns the Rapidflare-side configuration, evaluation, and optimization; your team is not becoming an AI operations team. You will need to grant access to the relevant systems and weigh in on integrations, nothing more.

Product and domain experts

“How much of my time does this take?”

Only the parts only you can answer. We bring your experts in for product and business judgment calls, not to run the system day to day, so they stay focused on product.

Leadership and sponsor

“What happens after launch: does this stall out?”

It does not. Production usage gives us new information to evaluate and opportunities to improve, and your Forward Deployed Engineer stays engaged. Launch is a milestone, not the finish line.

Built around what you already have

Your product knowledge does not need to live in one perfectly organized repository first

We meet your product knowledge where it is and work with your team from there.

What happens after launch?

We stay involved

Products change. Documentation changes. Customers ask new questions. Teams discover new use cases. New integrations become important. And occasionally, something does not work the way it should.

Your relationship with Rapidflare does not turn into a support queue at that point. Our customer success team and your Forward Deployed Engineer continue working with you to understand what is happening, investigate issues, and evolve the experience.

Launch is a milestone, not a handoff.

Questions your team will ask

Anticipate these before the kickoff call

Do we need to clean up all our documentation before we start?

No. Start with the product information you already have. Part of the process is understanding your existing knowledge sources and identifying the gaps, ambiguities, or inconsistencies that matter to the AI experience.

Will our product or engineering team need to build the agent?

No. Rapidflare handles the core ingestion, configuration, evaluation, and ongoing optimization work. Your experts provide product and business context where their judgment is valuable.

Do we need to dedicate an engineer to Rapidflare?

You may need technical involvement for access to systems your team controls or for certain integrations. But you do not need an internal engineer whose job is to learn how to operate Rapidflare. A Forward Deployed Engineer is included with every Rapidflare engagement and works with your team throughout the partnership.

How involved does our team need to be?

We deliberately focus your involvement on the areas where only your organization can provide the answer: your priorities, your product expertise, your systems, your approval. Rapidflare handles the operational work around those decisions.

How do we know when the experience is ready?

We evaluate the experience before broader rollout and work through issues identified during testing. Your team gets to review the experience and provide feedback before putting it in front of a wider audience.

What happens when our product information changes?

Knowledge management does not stop at launch. Rapidflare works with customers to keep their knowledge coverage and AI experience evolving as their products and information change.

What happens if the agent gives a bad answer?

We investigate it. Our team can review the underlying interaction, determine what caused the problem, and address issues in the knowledge, retrieval, configuration, or agent behavior.

Ready for kickoff

Bring us your product knowledge and we will take it from there

From existing documentation to a production AI experience, without turning it into another major implementation project for your team.
