KNOWLEDGE & CONNECT

Answers from your documents, with the receipts.

A general model knows the internet and nothing about your company. Grounding it in your own files is what turns a confident guess into an answer you can act on - provided it names the document it came from and only the right people can use it.

What grounding means here

Named sources, clear owners, one place.

Searching documents is easy to demo and hard to trust. What keeps people using it after the first month is being able to check every answer.

Upload what you already have
PDF, Word, Excel, CSV, plain text, Markdown, saved emails and images. Sort them into folders. There is no migration project and no new format to learn.
Sources named on the answer
Answers name the file each claim came from, on the sentence it supports. Checking one takes a click, and a wrong answer is easy to trace.
Members decide who uses it
Every knowledge base has its own members and settings. Legal's contract precedents do not have to be part of Sales' answers.
Wired into agents and chat
Tick a knowledge base on an agent's Knowledge tab, or pick one from the composer in any chat. One collection serves every place that needs it.
New documents go straight in
A document finished in the Document Editor can be uploaded to a knowledge base in one step, so the new version is the one that gets quoted.
Your sources, or the world too
Switch World-Wide Knowledge off on an agent and it answers from your documents only. Leave it on when general knowledge helps.
CITATIONS

Every answer shows where it came from.

Each claim carries the document it came from, right on the sentence it supports. That makes an answer checkable in a click, and it makes a wrong answer diagnosable - you can see whether the model misread the source or the source itself was out of date.

  • The source file highlighted on the sentence it supports
  • A misread source and an outdated source look different
  • Works in any chat where the knowledge base is picked

THE KNOWLEDGE BASE

A folder of the documents people ask about.

A knowledge base is a named collection of files: policies, guides, price lists, a CSV of last quarter's numbers. Upload them once, organise them in folders, decide who can use them, and every agent or prompt that should answer from them can.

  • PDF, Word, Excel, CSV, Markdown and more
  • Members and settings per knowledge base
  • One collection, shared by any agent or prompt

THE KNOWLEDGE BASES TEAMS BUILD FIRST
  • HR handbook and policies - the questions people ask twice a week
  • Product documentation, so support answers match the manual
  • Contract and DPA precedents, cited back to the file
  • Sales collateral and approved answers for tenders
  • Internal engineering runbooks and architecture decisions
  • Regulatory and audit documentation, kept in one searchable place
Straight answers

What teams ask about knowledge bases.

How is this different from attaching a file to a chat?

An attachment lives in one conversation. A knowledge base is standing context for the team: organised in folders, shared with its members, and available to every agent and chat that should answer from it. Nobody has to attach the handbook thirty times.

Which file types can we upload?

PDF, DOCX, XLSX, CSV, TXT, Markdown, EML, and JPG, PNG or WEBP images.

Who can use a knowledge base?

The members you add on its Members tab. Agents only read the knowledge bases you tick for them, so a support agent answering from the Northwind Help Center never sees the finance folder.

How do we stop it quoting an out-of-date policy?

Keep the knowledge base current the way you would a shared drive: upload the new version and remove the old one. Because answers name the file they used, an outdated source is visible the first time it is quoted.

Where is our content stored?

In the European Union by default, with US hosting available on request for Enterprise. Admins can also limit the workspace to EU-served inference endpoints or to zero-data-retention providers.
