How to Set an AI Assistant’s Knowledge Cutoff and Freshness Expectations

Users may assume an assistant knows recent policy or system changes when its training or indexed content is older.

Checks to make

State which sources and update times the assistant can use, surface retrieval dates where practical, and test queries about recent changes. If no current source is available, the assistant should say so and direct the user to an authoritative owner.

When to get help

AI integration can clarify freshness and source boundaries. Informatix Systems can assess the symptoms, evidence, and next steps. Contact Informatix Systems to discuss this issue.
