Ground answers in your own documents.

Build a knowledge base: locate the page title, navigation and available actions before following the steps. Click the image to inspect the full-size screenshot.

Step 1

Open Knowledge and create a knowledge base. Upload documents or connect a supported source, then select the parsing and indexing settings.

Start the document wizard: select a file and sensitivity level before continuing. This screenshot is the initial state before uploading.

Step 2

Wait for document processing to finish. Open a document to inspect its segments and correct or retry failed processing where available.

Step 3

Use the retrieval test with a real question. Tune retrieval settings, then attach the knowledge base to your app and check whether its answers cite the right material.

Check your result

Documents finish processing and a retrieval test returns relevant segments. If no segments match, review the source text and retrieval settings before attaching the knowledge base to an app.
