Knowledge

The Knowledge section allows you to provide data to your AI Agent.

This data is used by the agent to understand, retrieve, and respond to user queries using Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG).

Without knowledge, the agent relies only on its general model. With knowledge, it becomes context-aware and domain-specific.


How Knowledge Works

When a user asks a question:

  1. The AI Agent searches the available knowledge sources

  2. Relevant information is retrieved

  3. The AI uses this data to generate a response

  4. The response is grounded in your provided content

This ensures responses are:

  • Accurate

  • Contextual

  • Based on your organization’s data


Add Knowledge

You can add knowledge to your AI Agent in four different ways:


1. Upload Files

Upload documents directly to the agent.

Supported formats:

  • PDF (.pdf)

  • Word (.doc, .docx)

  • Text (.txt)

  • CSV (.csv)

  • PowerPoint (.pptx)

  • JSON (.json)

  • Markdown (.md)

Limits:

  • Maximum 10 files per upload

  • Maximum 5 MB per file

Use this for:

  • Internal documentation

  • Guides

  • Policies

  • Product documentation


2. Public Websites

Add website URLs to be crawled and indexed.

The system will:

  • Crawl the provided pages

  • Extract content

  • Make it available to the agent

Use this for:

  • Documentation sites

  • Help centers

  • Public knowledge bases


3. Applications

Connect external systems as knowledge sources.

Examples:

  • ServiceNow Knowledge Base

  • Xurrent Knowledge Articles

This allows the agent to:

  • Access live data

  • Use up-to-date knowledge

  • Integrate directly with operational systems


4. Text Input

Manually enter text as knowledge.

Use this for:

  • Small pieces of information

  • Instructions or notes

  • Quick additions without uploading files


Managing Knowledge

All added knowledge sources are listed in the Knowledge section.

Each item shows its status:

  • Ready → Available for use

  • Processing → Being indexed

You can also:

  • Remove knowledge sources

  • Update content (by re-uploading or editing)


Best Practices

  • Keep content clean and structured

  • Avoid duplicate or conflicting information

  • Use clear and descriptive language

  • Regularly update knowledge sources

  • Prioritize high-quality, relevant content


When to Use Each Option

Method
Best For

Upload Files

Internal docs, structured content

Public Websites

External documentation

Applications

Live system data (ITSM, KBs)

Text Input

Quick or small additions


What’s Next

After adding knowledge, your AI Agent can:

  • Answer questions using your data

  • Provide accurate and contextual responses

  • Support users based on real documentation

You can further enhance your agent by:

  • Adding Skills (to take actions)

  • Connecting Channels (WhatsApp, Teams, Webhook, Mate Chat)


Summary

Knowledge is the context layer of your AI Agent.

  • It defines what the agent knows

  • It improves response accuracy

  • It enables domain-specific intelligence
