IskayPet cuts answer time to 7 seconds with Amazon Bedrock

3 Key Points

  1. What happened

    IskayPet built a multilingual corporate knowledge assistant on Amazon Bedrock Managed Knowledge Bases, answering employee questions across retail, veterinary, onboarding and procurement in four languages and three countries with no RAG infrastructure to manage. In roughly the first two months in production, time to find an operational answer dropped from 3–5 minutes to about 7 seconds.

  2. Why it matters

    This suggests other firms with large document repositories may be able to deploy similar assistants without building their own retrieval infrastructure.

  3. What to watch

    The solution is expected to handle roughly 100,000 queries per month across all business areas and countries.

WHO IT HITSEnterprise IT teams and operations staff at multi-country companies that rely on large document repositories such as SharePoint are the most directly affected, as this shows a managed path to a cited, permission-aware knowledge assistant without running vector databases or embedding pipelines.

Context & Analysis

IskayPet's starting point was a familiar corporate problem: answers to everyday operational questions lived in hundreds of Microsoft SharePoint documents spread across four languages and three countries, and finding the right information took a long time. Rather than migrate that content, the team used the native SharePoint connector in Amazon Bedrock Managed Knowledge Bases, which syncs incrementally and can extract text from images embedded in documents. That choice kept the existing repositories in place and avoided a costly migration.

The design decision that shaped the rollout was to create a dedicated knowledge base per assistant, each scoped to specific SharePoint sites or libraries, rather than one shared index with country and area tags. According to the post, this keeps each body of knowledge isolated end to end and lets new areas or countries be added by pointing a new assistant at the right content instead of re-architecting. Access control follows the same logic: an employee sees only the assistants whose documentation they are entitled to read, and retrieval enforces document-level permissions natively.

On the build side, IskayPet used Kiro with Claude Haiku 4.5 to generate the frontend and provision the AWS services, which the post says helped a small team move from concept to production quickly. The team is now adding Amazon Bedrock Guardrails for content filtering and responsible AI policies, and is evaluating prompt caching and batch inference as usage grows toward the expected roughly 100,000 queries per month.

FAQ
What is Amazon Bedrock Managed Knowledge Bases?
It is a managed retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) service from AWS that handles data ingestion, multimodal parsing, vector storage, embedding generation, and retrieval, so customers do not run vector databases or ingestion pipelines themselves.
How does the assistant respect document permissions?
It enforces SharePoint permissions at retrieval time: the employee's identity is passed to the knowledge base, which returns passages only from documents that person is authorized to see. Revoking or granting access in SharePoint is reflected without application changes.
What tools did IskayPet use to build it?
The team built the store-facing frontend and the AWS architecture and deployment using Kiro, an agentic development environment, running on Claude Haiku 4.5 on Amazon Bedrock.
