Knowledge Base Upgrade: Smarter PDFs, Images, and Long Documents
We rebuilt the Knowledge Base ingestion pipeline. Upload PDFs, images, and long text. Your AI Employee extracts information more accurately - even from messy or large documents - and answers with better precision.
Knowledge Base Upgrade: Smarter PDFs, Images, and Long Documents
The Knowledge Base has been upgraded. You can now upload PDFs, images, and long text, and the AI Employee will extract information more accurately - even from long or messy documents - to answer questions with better precision.
What's improved
Previously, the Knowledge Base could struggle when:
- Documents were long or messy
- You had multiple materials you wanted the AI to learn from
Now the ingestion pipeline has been rebuilt so content is processed more intelligently (documents are chunked smartly), which improves:
- Accuracy and relevance - especially for longer and more complex content
- Reliability as your Knowledge Base grows
- Speed of responses
What this means for you
- You can upload multiple documents into one AI Employee.
- You'll get more accurate and more relevant answers.
- The AI can learn from PDFs and even images (e.g., screenshots of brochures or feature lists).
How to add knowledge sources
- Go to AI Employees.
- Open Knowledge Base.
- Click Add New Sources.
- Choose one:
- Upload a file (PDF or image)
- Paste / append text (for quick notes or FAQ snippets)
- Wait for processing to finish. Larger files may take a short moment.
Demos
Demo 1: Upload a PDF
- Upload a PDF into the Knowledge Base.
- Go to the System Prompt (even if it's blank or clean).
- Open Test Chat.
- Ask a question that is answered in the PDF - for example, "Who is the official business partner with ABC Sales AI?"
- The AI Employee answers by referencing the PDF content.
Demo 2: Upload an image (screenshot)
- Take a screenshot of a page (for example, a product feature list).
- Upload the image to the Knowledge Base.
- Optional: remove the PDF to test image-only behaviour.
- Clear conversation history and test again.
- Ask: "What are the features of ABC Sales AI?"
- The AI Employee answers based on the image content.
Updating your Knowledge Base content
If your FAQ, brochure, or any other document changes:
- Export the latest version as a PDF (or take a fresh screenshot).
- Re-upload it to the Knowledge Base to keep the AI's answers current.
