A knowledge source is the material your Chat Agent answers from. Add your documentation, policies, product pages and FAQs, and the agent answers from your content instead of guessing.

The page at a glance

Four counters sit at the top: Total items, Knowledge sources, Training progress and Linked agents. Below them, each source type has its own list.

Source types

Website

Crawl and index a URL.

Text

Paste text content directly.

FAQ

Question and answer pairs.

File

PDF, DOCX, PPTX, TXT, MD.

Audio

Audio files, transcribed and indexed.

Video

Video files, transcribed and indexed.
Audio and Video require a plan with video/audio knowledge. On plans without it, those tiles show an upgrade badge.

Adding a source

1

Choose Add item

Pick a source type from the picker.
2

Provide the content

Enter a URL, paste text, write a Q&A pair, or drag files onto the drop zone.
3

Wait for training

Each item is chunked and embedded. Training progress is shown per item; large files and long media take longer.

Websites

Give Botric a URL and it crawls and indexes the page. Use your most authoritative pages — product, pricing, docs, policies.

FAQs

The most precise source type. If a specific question keeps coming up in Conversations, write it as an FAQ and the agent will answer it consistently.

Files

Drag and drop, or browse. Supported: PDF, DOCX, PPTX, TXT and MD.

Managing sources

Every list supports view, edit and delete. Deleting an item also removes its embeddings, so the agent stops answering from it immediately.
Deleting is permanent. If a chat agent relied on that item, its answers will change on the next question.

Linking to a chat agent

Knowledge sources live at the workspace level; a chat agent selects the ones it should use in its Knowledge tab. One source can feed several agents. The chat agent surfaces training state directly:
  • Training underway — indexing in progress.
  • Some items failed to train — retry those items.
  • Knowledge sources are empty — the agent has nothing to answer from.

Auto-generated FAQs

Once training completes, Botric generates FAQs from your knowledge sources — usually in 30–60 seconds. They appear in the chat agent’s FAQs tab, where you can edit, delete or regenerate them.
Feed the knowledge base from real demand. The dashboard’s Most asked questions card and the Conversations Logs tab show exactly which questions your agent couldn’t answer.
