A Knowledge Base is a repository of documents and information that your agent can search during conversations. Instead of stuffing everything into a prompt, you upload content and let the agent retrieve what’s relevant when needed.

The agent can now search this KB during conversations.


Tips

Outdated information leads to wrong answers. Review and update regularly — especially policies, pricing, and procedures.

Focused, relevant content retrieves better than massive document dumps. Don’t upload everything — upload what matters.

Ask your agent questions that should use the new content. Verify it finds and uses the right information.
