### AI overview

Meta describes an AI agent for a compliance domain that preserves specialist knowledge through an auditable knowledge architecture, an expert-like reasoning layer, and a feedback-driven improvement pipeline without model retraining.

### Source excerpt

We've built an AI agent that acts as a secondary expert for a given domain, making deep specialist knowledge readily available and preserved for anyone in an organization to access, share, and build upon. This is not a typical domain-specific agent. Its novelty comes from integrating two layers: A structured, auditable knowledge architecture separates what [...] Read More...
