Knowledge Base

A knowledge base (KB) is a collection of information that your workflows can use to find answers and respond to user queries. GenAssist uses Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) techniques to search the KB for relevant information and provide it to an LLM for generating accurate, context-aware responses.

To manage your KBs, navigate to Integrations → Knowledge Base from the main navigation menu. This screen lists all existing KBs.
