How the knowledge base works

Your assistant answers customers using the information in your Knowledge Base.

Everything described here lives in Knowledge Base.

Sources and pages

A source is one thing you added: a website you imported, a PDF you uploaded, a set of common questions you typed. A page is how we measure size. One page = ~500 words. A long article might count as several pages, a short FAQ answer may count as part of a page.

Your plan sets the total number of pages you can store. See What counts as a page.

The six kinds of source

SourceUse it for
About your businessName, hours, address, what you sell
Your websiteAny page or your whole site
A documentMenus, price lists, brochures, PDFs
Common questionsThings people ask you every week
Past chatsOld conversations, so the AI picks up your voice

Statuses

Each source shows one of these:

  • Live — Being used in answers now.
  • Reading — Text is being imported.
  • Queued — Waiting to be processed
  • Off — Saved in your account, but not used
  • Can’t read — We couldn’t extract the text. See Fix a source that cannot be read.

What makes a good knowledge base

Keep it short, factual, and specific. Include:

  • Prices with numbers
  • hours with days
  • policies with a clear yes or no

What to do next

Start with Add your business details, then Import your website.
