Step-by-step: Creating a Knowledge AI Agent

1. Select the Agent Type

On the dashboard, click Create AI Agent and select the Knowledge AI Agent option.

2. Set Collection Type

  • Choose from:
    • Unstructured Data (Files)
      • Users can upload documents (PDFs, PPTs, Word, spreadsheets, audio, video) to extract valuable insights using advanced AI, enabling accurate, context-rich responses. This seamlessly integrates unstructured data into workflows, helping users and businesses gain actionable insights.
    • Database
      • Connects to databases to retrieve relevant data and generate natural language, context-aware responses, simplifying complex queries and improving exploration.
    • Live Search
      • Fetches real-time data from dynamic websites to provide accurate, up-to-date responses to user queries. By integrating live sources, it ensures answers reflect the most current and relevant information available.
    • Transcribe
      • Uses advanced speech-to-text technology to convert audio and video into text while analyzing it for context, key insights, and relevant information.

3. Fill in Details

  • Add a collection name and description
  • Choose the base language and model (e.g. GPT-4o)
  • Click Create

4. Upload Knowledge Sources

Once your collection is created, you can upload:
  • Files (PDF, PPTX, Word, Excel, audio, video) from local device, Google Drive, or SharePoint
  • URLs (scrape individual pages or full websites)
  • Text snippets manually
Use OCR if needed for image-based documents.

5. Set Guardrails

Under the Guardrails tab, configure:
  • System Prompt (instructions for the agent)
  • Pre-processing instructions
  • Additional logic or fallback flows
  • Co-browsing agent integration (if applicable)

6. Interact with Your Knowledge Agent

Go to the Ask AI Agent tab to start asking questions directly based on the uploaded content. You can toggle Chat Context for multi-turn memory.

Access from Sidebar

Once created, all your Knowledge AI Agents and collections are accessible from the AI Knowledge tab in the left sidebar. Here, you can:
  • View all your collections
  • Edit or delete them
  • Add new documents or sources

Integration as Web Chat Bot

By clicking the three-dot menu (︙) on any collection card under AI Knowledge, and selecting Integration, you can:
  • Embed a conversational AI bot into your website or portal
  • Copy the pre-generated JavaScript snippet
  • Customize appearance and behavior with query parameters
    (e.g., &chatFontSize=20px, &chatBackgroundColor=%23fd2000)
This allows your customers or team to chat with the Knowledge Agent using a branded interface on your site.
