When knowledge gets stuck
Many SMEs have the same problem: knowledge gets stuck in departments or even in individual heads. Marketing doesn't know what Sales has already found out. HR doesn't know the experiences of IT. And in the worst case scenario, each department starts from scratch, even though the solution has long existed in the neighbouring office.
The result: Inefficiency, duplication and missed opportunities.
Why knowledge silos are so dangerous
- Lost time: Teams search for information that has long been available - only somewhere else.
- Frustration among employees: "Why doesn't anyone know that?" leads to demotivation.
- Error repetition: Without shared knowledge, teams make the same mistakes multiple times.
- Missed innovation: Ideas get stuck in corners instead of moving the whole company forward.
Especially in hybrid teams The problem is exacerbated by the lack of spontaneous agreements and short distances.
Classic attempts to break open silos
Many companies rely on meetings, wikis or centralised drives. But these approaches have their limits:
- Meetings cost time and are not sustainable.
- Wikis are only as good as their maintenance - and are often neglected.
- Drives are difficult to understand and not contextualised.
The result: silos remain.
Cross-Agent Collaboration - what does that mean?
With Amaiko there is a new answer: AI buddies that not only work individually, but also communicate with each other.
- Buddy-to-Buddy exchange: Every employee has their own AI buddy - and the buddies talk to each other.
- Automatic knowledge transfer: Findings from one department flow directly into the others.
- Shared corporate memory: Instead of isolated notes, a living pool of knowledge is created.
In this way, knowledge is not only preserved, but also utilised throughout the company.
What this looks like in practice
- HR collects feedback from onboarding → the information is immediately available for IT and managers.
- Sales documents customer experiences → Marketing can immediately use these insights for campaigns.
- Holiday cover becomes easier: If a colleague is on holiday, the buddy knows how they work and provides all the relevant information - so the replacement can take over immediately, without hours of handovers.
You can find even more practical examples in our article on Onboarding with AI.
Concrete advantages for SMEs
- Increased efficiency: No knowledge is left lying around - it flows automatically.
- Better co-operation: departments speak the same language.
- Faster decisions: Everyone has access to relevant knowledge without having to search.
- More innovation: Ideas go beyond the boundaries of individual departments.

Conclusion: Sharing knowledge instead of hoarding knowledge
Cross-agent collaboration means that knowledge is no longer the property of individuals, but a resource for everyone. SMEs that utilise this principle save time, avoid duplication of work and put their energy where it has the greatest impact: on innovation and growth.
With Amaiko, departmental boundaries become Bridges instead of walls.
