The days of passive AI search are over.

We're announcing a fundamental shift in how Docket handles your toughest sales questions. Agentic Ask isn't just retrieving information anymore, it's thinking through your questions, determining the optimal way to answer them, and adapting its approach based on what you're actually asking.

The Broken State of AI tools today: Ask a Question, Get an Answer

Most AI tools follow a simple pattern: you ask, they retrieve, they respond.

If the information exists in your knowledge base, great.

If it doesn't, you're stuck.

This works fine for straightforward questions. But what happens when a prospect asks a questions which needs reasoning that connects multiple data points? Or when your knowledge base doesn't have the full context?

You spend precious time hunting, synthesizing, and hoping you got it right.

The Future of AI tools: Ask a Question, Your Agent Thinks, Then Answers

Agentic Ask transforms how your AI responds.

The agent evaluates your question's complexity and intent, then selects the right strategy automatically. You're no longer managing how to get an answer, you're trusting an intelligent system to figure out the best path forward.

The Agent Determines the Best Approach

When you pose a question to Agentic Ask, it doesn't just search and respond. It analyzes what you're asking and chooses the optimal mode:

Quick Mode (~30 seconds):
For straightforward questions, fact-finding, and time-sensitive needs during live calls. When you need an answer now, the agent delivers without unnecessary processing.

Deep Mode (in minutes):
For complex scenarios, multi-part questions, and situations requiring comprehensive research across multiple sources. The agent takes time to reason through your question properly.

You don't select the mode, rather the agent does that thinking for you & chooses it.

Web Search Also Joins Your Knowledge Arsenal

Your agent now accesses the public web to deliver more complete, solution-oriented answers.

If your knowledge base doesn't have the full picture, the agent pulls in current information from web sources automatically.

You can also explicitly ask the agent to do web search before answering. This bridges the gap between what your team knows internally and what's happening in the broader market.

How does the Agent Work Behind the Scenes?

Once a question has been posed to the agent, agent chooses the mode and does the following:

Tool selection:
See which retrieval tools, web search, or file analysis the agent chooses based on your question type.

Analysis phase:
Watch as it processes information and evaluates relevance across sources.

Reflection mode:
The agent reviews whether to include specific information in the final output — it's not just dumping everything it finds.

Verified prioritization:
Human-reviewed and approved responses appear first. Your team's validated knowledge gets priority over probabilistic answers.

Recency prioritization:
More recent facts receive higher weighting, so you're not referencing outdated information.

Verified Answers: Building Your Team's Knowledge Base

We've moved beyond confidence scores to verified answer prioritisation. When your team validates a response (either as-is or with minor edits), it becomes the verified answer for similar future questions. This creates a democratized library of proven sales responses that the agent prioritises, ensuring your team shares consistent, approved messaging.
