The challenge

Expertise is valuable,
but finding it takes work

Ponder Tax illustrates a familiar challenge for tax research companies: users need to find relevant guidance across detailed rules, jurisdictions, and time periods. Getting to the right material can take work.

ModeContext built Ponder Tax’s app to retrieve relevant tax sources within an AI conversation. Its users can ask questions, inspect references, and follow up without switching between research tools.

This use case shows how we can make a company’s specialist knowledge easier for its customers to access and use.

Inside the Ponder Tax app

Ask, explore,
and check the source

01

A natural starting point

The professional describes the question in their own words. The conversation can surface the jurisdiction, time period, and facts that matter.

02

Specialist source retrieval

The app brings selected research material into the conversation, giving the assistant relevant content to work from.

03

References you can inspect

Source links let the user review the underlying material and apply professional judgment before relying on an answer.

The idea goes beyond tax

If your business has knowledge people depend on, there may be a better way to put it in their hands
