EmpireVault Knowledge Base is a public article portal that also feeds EmpireVault’s in-app Help Assistant and suggested ticket replies. Customers can search published content, browse nested categories, and vote on article helpfulness without signing in. Authors work in a rich editor supporting images, embedded video, code blocks, callouts, inline links, and editable SEO descriptions and slugs. Draft changes can remain separate from the published version, and approval workflows are available. Reporting covers views, helpfulness votes, and search queries, while surfacing heavily viewed articles that remain unresolved or receive many negative votes. The Help Assistant uses knowledge-base passages to answer questions and can offer ticket creation when no answer is found. EmpireVault lists REST API access, signed webhooks, and Civo S3-compatible storage. It supports API, extension, and web platforms, public publishing, SSO, analytics, e-signatures, quote tracking, CRM integrations, and custom branding. Pricing starts at $39 a month per seat, with a 21-day trial and no free plan.
