Knowledge BaseOverview

Knowledge Base

The Knowledge Base stores information that your bot uses to answer questions. Using RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation), your bot can provide accurate, contextual responses based on your content.

How It Works

  1. You add content — Files, websites, or data sources
  2. We process it — Content is chunked and embedded
  3. Bot retrieves context — Relevant chunks are found for each query
  4. AI generates response — The model uses retrieved context to answer

Key Benefits

  • Accurate answers: Responses grounded in your actual content
  • Reduced hallucination: AI stays within known information
  • Easy updates: Add or remove content anytime
  • Source attribution: Know where answers come from

Quick Start

Adding Your First Source

  1. Go to your bot’s Knowledge tab
  2. Choose a source type:
    • Files: Upload PDF, Word, Excel, or text files
    • Websites: Enter a website URL to crawl
    • Data Sources: Connect external data sources
  3. Add content and wait for processing

Testing

After processing completes:

  1. Go to Bot Studio to test your bot
  2. Ask a question about your content
  3. Verify the bot uses knowledge base information

Content Guidelines

What to Add

  • FAQ pages
  • Product documentation
  • Help articles
  • Policy documents
  • Company information

What to Avoid

  • Duplicate content (confuses retrieval)
  • Outdated information (leads to wrong answers)
  • Irrelevant content (dilutes search results)
  • Sensitive data (security risk)
