Create Knowledge Base

Create a new non-deterministic knowledge base that can be used to provide context and information to your AI agents. Knowledge bases support multiple content types including files, URLs, and FAQs.
Rate Limits:
  • Maximum 10 requests per hour per workspace
  • File size limit: 2 MB per file, 5 MB total
  • Maximum 10 files and 20 URLs per request

​
Content Types

​
Files

Upload documents (PDF, TXT, DOCX, etc.) to provide structured information to your knowledge base.
  • Max 10 files per request
  • 2 MB per file limit
  • 5 MB total size limit

​
URLs

Index web pages to automatically extract and store their content.
  • Max 20 URLs per request
  • URLs are crawled and indexed automatically
  • Content is refreshed periodically

​
FAQs

Provide question-answer pairs for deterministic responses to common queries. 
"faqs": "[{\"question\": \"What is your return policy?\", \"answer\": \"30-day money back guarantee\"}]"

​
Processing Status

Knowledge base creation is asynchronous. The response includes:
  • kb_id: Unique identifier for the knowledge base
  • processing_status: Current status (pending, processing, completed)
  • files_queued: Number of files being processed
Use the Get Knowledge Base by ID endpoint to check processing status.

​
Important Notes

  • Asynchronous Processing: Files and URLs are processed in the background
  • Content Updates: Use the Edit Knowledge Base endpoint to update content
  • Agent Integration: Link knowledge bases to agents via the assistant configuration
