Search, governance and acknowledgement of regulations

Ask. Don't search.

Answers from your world, not the internet.

Contineo finds the answer in your own content — in the regulations, policies and internal guidelines you upload into it. No digging through folders, no guessing from the internet. Just a verified answer from where it actually lives. And a regulation people must know, it sends out, follows up on and proves who read it and when.

Why Contineo

For years we learned to search — typing keywords, opening ten tabs, digging through folders. Contineo flips it: you simply ask and get the answer. And not just any answer — one from your company's content, with a source citation. Not from the internet. From your world.

How Contineo is deployed

Today as a locked-down company portal on your own subdomain. Embedded search inside an existing website is in preparation.

Intranet

Standalone portal on a subdomain

Search and a portal of company content on your subdomain (e.g. search.yourcompany.com). Lockable to signed-in internal users only.

  • Sign-in via Microsoft Entra, Google Workspace or other domain-bound SSO
  • Access limited to your organisation's internal users
  • A portal with an overview of company content in one place
Embedded widget — first deployment

A search icon right inside your website

Add the Contineo icon to your existing site. On click it expands as an overlay layer and replaces the site's regular search. The first widget runs for a system that passes the user's identity in a signed token (ISSF); after two unhappy ratings it offers a helpdesk ticket. An anonymous mode for public websites is in preparation.

  • One line of code, no changes to your page content
  • Overlay in Contineo's design, fits light and dark sites
  • Ideal as a replacement for search on a public website

Try it: click the search icon in the sample page.

Versions and what is in force

The problem is not finding the regulation. It is knowing which one applies.

Acts get amended, decrees change, an internal directive falls two years behind. Five files with near-identical names sit in a folder and nobody dares say which one is right.

Concretely: Slovakia's Sports Act has been in force since 2016 and has gone through dozens of amendments since. Ask “how does it work today” inside a sports organisation and the answer depends on who you asked and which copy they downloaded. The same holds for construction law, education law and the labour code.

Five versions, one in force

Amendments, consolidated texts, drafts and annexes pile up. Without version tracking, searching is a lottery — and an answer from a repealed text looks just as trustworthy as the correct one.

Internal rules fall behind the law

A directive gets written once and then forgotten. The statute changes in the meantime and the organisation ends up with two contradictory texts — one in law, one in its own rulebook.

A newcomer has no chance

Getting on top of dozens of regulations takes months. So questions go to the one or two experienced colleagues who keep answering the same things — and when they leave, the knowledge leaves with them.

What Contineo solves today

Working and deployed.

  • Every document has versions with an effective date. Older ones are archived, never deleted.
  • Answers come from the wording in force on the day of the question and name the regulation, article and version behind them. An amendment published in advance reaches answers only on its effective date.
  • Questions about a date — “what was the deadline on 1 March 2025?” — are answered from the wording in force then. The answer states which day it applies to.
  • Comparing versions — “what changed in the statutes?” — article by article, citing both the old and the new wording.
  • Every document type has a role — binding, guidance or record — and an order of bindingness: act › statutes › rules › directive › manual. A document has parents; a cycle cannot be saved.
  • A compliance check finds where a manual or directive contradicts a superior norm — citing the article. The decision is a new draft version, never a silent change to the published one.
  • Legislation from Slov-Lex is a source at question time: the organisation picks its acts, the answer cites the section with an “Act” label in the wording in force on the day of the question, and says so when an act contradicts the organisation's own rule. The catalogue is updated every night; a subscribed act in the library receives an amendment as a draft of a new version.
  • A regulation can be archived as of a date. From then on the assistant no longer answers from it and it cannot be assigned; the text, PDF and acknowledgements remain.

What we are working on

In progress

Not part of the deployment yet.

  • Further watched addresses and feeds — official bulletins, Czech legislation, RSS; a crawler per website according to its structure.
  • The specific-over-general rule between norms of equal bindingness.
  • An overview of which of your own rules an amendment touched and need reviewing.
Governance and acknowledgement

Finding a regulation is not enough. People must know it — and you must be able to prove it.

Contineo takes a regulation from preparation all the way to acknowledgement by everyone it concerns. Every step stays in a record that cannot be changed afterwards.

New wording in four steps

  1. 01

    Preparation

    Upload the PDF and an editable source, set the effective date, the approvers and the person responsible.

  2. 02

    Approval

    Approvers see the PDF they are deciding on, attachments included. They can send it back with a comment.

  3. 03

    Publication

    The wording applies from its effective date. An amendment published in advance replaces the current wording only on that day.

  4. 04

    Assignment

    Assign the amendment to the same people in one step — or choose new recipients.

Acknowledgement with proof

A person acknowledges the PDF they actually saw. The record holds the file's fingerprint, the exact statement in the language they read it in, and their department at that moment. The same wording cannot be acknowledged twice.

To whom and by when

Assign to a person, a department, a group or a route — onboarding, for example. Whoever joins a department later gets the task with a deadline counted from their arrival.

Reminders and report

The request and reminders arrive by e-mail; the task waits in the portal and on the phone. The acknowledgement report shows who is missing and can be exported.

Chain of evidence

Acknowledgements and assignments are never changed or deleted. A revocation is a new record with a reason — a year later you can still read what applied then and who knew it.

Data protection (DPO)

Every regulation has a person responsible and a legal basis from a code list. The data protection officer has the report, retention periods and objections in one place.

Training

Courses with text and video, tests drawn from a question bank, and a numbered certificate with a QR code. Anyone with the link can verify it — without the holder's name.

Verified in production at the Slovak Football Association: assignment, e-mail request, acknowledgement from a computer or a phone, and a report for HR.

Compliance check

A manual that drifts from the norm is worse than none.

A body changes the norm, a content admin extends the manual — and between them a contradiction appears that nobody notices until someone runs into it. Contineo looks for it for you and leaves every finding to a person to decide.

Against superior norms

A document has parents — an act, statutes, rules. The check reads a manual or directive against them and finds sentences that contradict them or fell behind an amendment. A run starts only after a recap with a cost estimate.

A finding with citation and decision

Each finding shows the cited article of the norm with highlighted paragraphs and two choices: Keep the existing wording with a reason, or Accept the recommendation — the new wording goes into a draft and through normal approval. Kept decisions are remembered by the next check.

From the helpdesk into manuals

The questions people send to the helpdesk are read by an analysis that proposes what to add to the manual and where, where to clarify it — or where practice diverges from the norm and legislation needs an input. The text of the questions is not stored.

Why Contineo has no FAQ

A list of frequently asked questions is a second copy of what already stands in the manual or the norm — and after every amendment it has to be checked again. The most valuable thing that came out of helpdesk questions was not an answer but a gap in the manual. That is why FAQs as such lose their point: manuals replace them, extended from the questions, and the assistant answers straight from them — with a citation and the version.

Features

One place for all your company content

Intelligent search

Semantic search across all sources at once. Users write naturally, Contineo finds the substance.

All sources together

Regulations, policies, internal guidelines and how-tos in one place. No switching between systems.

Answers with citations

Every answer states the source and document version. No guessing — only verified content.

Helpdesk: mailbox, tickets, manuals

An e-mail to the channel mailbox is a ticket; the agent gets a draft reply from the assistant, edits it and sends it. Helpdesk questions turn into proposals to extend the manuals; the assistant answers from documents, not from a second copy.

Learns from answers

Approved admin answers become new knowledge. The system gets more accurate every day.

Isolated per company

Multi-tenant architecture — each organisation's content and access are securely separated.

Approval and acknowledgement

New wording goes through preparation, approval and publication. The people it concerns acknowledge it — and you can prove it.

Training and certificates

Courses with text and video, tests drawn from a question bank, and a certificate with a QR code anyone can verify.

Interface in three languages

Slovak, Czech and English — everyone picks their own. A regulation in another language is a separate document, not a machine translation.

How it works

From a question to a verified answer

01

You connect sources

Upload the PDF and an editable source (Word, Excel, Markdown). The wording goes through approval and applies from its effective date; the text is split by article. Websites and further channels are in preparation.

02

A user asks

They ask a question in natural language in the Contineo portal, after signing in with company SSO.

03

Contineo finds and answers

It searches the wording in force on the day of the question and answers only from it — citing the regulation, article and version. It can also answer as of a past date and compare two versions.

04

Support and curation

When an answer doesn't hold up, the reader flags it. An evaluator corrects the wording and a content admin publishes it back into the knowledge base as a verified answer.

Who it's for

Not a tool only for large organisations

What matters is the volume of regulation, not the headcount. A ten-person firm under construction law has the same problem as a ministry — with a smaller budget and nobody tracking it full time.

Small and mid-sized firms

Internal directives, product documentation and the legislation you have to comply with. Without in-house counsel and without anyone watching every amendment.

Schools and institutions

Education law, decrees, internal rules and the founder's directives. A new teacher or administrator gets oriented in an hour, not in months.

Associations and chambers

Your own rules built on top of a statute that keeps changing. Members keep asking the same questions — and the answer has to match the text in force.

Banks and large enterprises

Group policies, local directives and regulation on top. One answer across branches, evidenced for audit.

Public administration

Acts, implementing decrees and internal management acts. Data and hosting in the EU; on-premise and closed networks are in preparation.

Support and internal guides

Application manuals in one place and an assistant that answers from them. Helpdesk questions extend the manuals — no FAQ list as a second copy.

New and experienced staff alike

An answer with a link to the specific article. Newcomers ramp up faster; veterans stop answering the same thing for the fifth time.

What's next

What comes next

None of this is part of the deployment yet. We list it so it is clear what Contineo does today and what it does not.

On-prem and closed networks

Running on your infrastructure with your own models. The adapters are in the code; the first deployment will come with hardware.

More content sources

Crawlers for further websites and for RSS, Czech legislation, bulk import and scheduled sync from MCP connectors, and more servers (document stores). Today the sources are a file, the helpdesk mailbox, an MCP connector and legislation from Slov-Lex — every version in the library is approved by someone.

Documents without articles

A manual, a contract or minutes are not split into articles. The splitting method will follow the document type.

Precedence and conflicts

Higher law over lower, specific over general — and an alert when an internal directive contradicts the law.

Membership source integration

People, departments and groups from the system where you already keep them, instead of importing a list.

A website straight from content

The public part of your content becomes a clear website that updates with the source.
