AI built for the workers your other tools forget.
AI-native. Built for the frontline. From the first pixel.
Not adapted from a desk tool. Not bolted on. Built for phones on breaks, patchy networks, and every language your workforce speaks.
Ask Mumba, your organisation's knowledge,
in one AI-native chat.
Ask Mumba is an AI assistant built into the Mumba employee engagement platform. Team members ask questions in their own language and get cited answers drawn from your organisation's own published articles and policies. Every answer shows exactly where it came from, using your own content and voice.

Editor rewrites, prunes, and publishes with control

Prompt: Draft a shift-swap reminder for Christmas casuals
Hey team, quick reminder on shift swaps over the Christmas period. If you need to swap a shift, post it in the Shift Swap channel by Wednesday 5pm and tag your team lead...
Analytics chat
Ask your analytics questions instead of building a report. "Which sites had zero engagement last week?" gets an answer, not a dashboard tour.
Conversational querying of your platform data
Follow-up questions land in context
Same underlying reports, faster to reach
Which sites had zero engagement last week?
3 sites had zero engagement in the last 7 days:
· Site 3 · Nowra
· Site 5 · Bomaderry
· Site 8 · Queanbeyan
Multilingual by design
Multiple languages. Thousands of workers.
One answer, each in their own words.
Every AI feature respects the language each employee picked in their profile. Arabic renders right-to-left. Vietnamese answers stay Vietnamese all the way through, including the push notification.

Built on your terms
You choose the model. You hold the key. You see the bill.
Most AI features arrive as a black box you rent. Mumba's AI is different. You are not locked to a single vendor, and every call is measured and audited.
Three providers, your pick
OpenAI, Anthropic, or Mistral. Switch if the answer changes.
Bring your own key
AI usage lands on your bill, your enterprise agreement, not ours.
Per-purpose control
Turn each AI purpose on or off independently. Ask Mumba without drafting, or the other way around.
Every call, receipted
Purpose, model, tokens, cost, latency, outcome. Full audit trail per call.

Safe by design
AI you can hand to a night-shift worker without a training session.
Answers only from your content.
No open-web browsing, no invented facts.
Permission-aware.
Each employee gets answers drawn only from what they are allowed to see.
Honest "I don't know".
Missing content triggers a next step, not a guess.
Wellbeing routing.
Serious moments never get filtered silently.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Ask Mumba, answered.
What is Ask Mumba?
⌄
Ask Mumba is an AI assistant built into the Mumba employee app. Frontline workers ask questions in their own language and get cited answers drawn from their organisation's own published articles and policies. It respects existing permissions and routes wellbeing-related questions to a nominated human contact.
How does Ask Mumba know what to answer?
⌄
Ask Mumba draws answers only from the articles and policies your organisation has already published in Mumba. Every answer includes a citation back to the source article so workers can tap through to the full content, and admins can trace exactly where an answer came from.
What languages does Ask Mumba support?
⌄
Ask Mumba answers in whatever language the question was asked in. A worker can type a question in Vietnamese and get the answer in Vietnamese, even when the underlying policy is only published in English. This works across the languages your frontline workforce actually speaks.
How does Ask Mumba handle sensitive questions?
⌄
Ask Mumba includes a wellbeing safety layer. If an employee shares something serious, like distress or harm to a resident or colleague, the assistant responds with care and points them to the wellbeing contact your organisation has nominated. These moments are never ignored or filtered out silently.
Can Ask Mumba see private employee information?
⌄
Ask Mumba only reads the articles and policies published in your Mumba tenant, and respects the same permissions already in place. If a worker asks about their own pay or leave balance, the assistant is upfront that it cannot see personal details today, answers the general policy where it can, and points them to the right contact.
Do frontline workers need training to use Ask Mumba?
⌄
No. If a worker can send a text message, they can use Ask Mumba. It works one-handed on older phones, on patchy networks, and in the language they are most comfortable in. There are no new skills to learn.
How is Ask Mumba different from ChatGPT or Microsoft Copilot?
⌄
ChatGPT and Copilot answer from the open web or general workplace content. Ask Mumba only answers from your organisation's own frontline content, in the frontline worker's own language, on their phone. Answers are cited, permissions are respected and sensitive questions are routed to a human.
Is Ask Mumba safe for aged care, healthcare and other regulated industries?
⌄
Yes. Ask Mumba is designed for regulated settings. It only uses your published, approved content as its source, it cites every answer so it can be traced back to the authoritative document, and it routes wellbeing questions to a nominated human contact. All of this happens inside your existing Mumba tenant.
How much does Ask Mumba cost to run?
⌄
Ask Mumba runs on your own AI key with a daily usage limit per employee that your team sets. That means costs are predictable, capped and in your hands, not tied to a per-seat vendor markup or usage you cannot see.
Can admins see what employees are asking Ask Mumba?
⌄
Admins see aggregate patterns, never individual employee messages. You get a view of the questions people keep asking that your content does not yet cover, so publishing effort goes where it is actually needed. You get the signal without the surveillance.
How long does it take to set up Ask Mumba?
⌄
About ten minutes for an admin. Name your assistant, review the welcome message and suggested starter questions, confirm your escalation contacts including a wellbeing contact, then test it with your own content before switching it on for employees.
