Knowledge Base
Definition
A knowledge base is a managed collection of documents (PDF, DOCX, Markdown, HTML, URLs) that serve as context for AI recipes and workflows. When a recipe runs, relevant passages are retrieved from the knowledge base and included in the prompt, grounding the AI's response in your organization's actual data rather than the model's general training.
Document Processing
Upload documents in any common format. JieGou processes them through a hierarchical chunking pipeline, generates embeddings, and indexes them for semantic search. URL-sourced documents support automatic freshness checking and re-processing when content changes.
Scoped Knowledge
Knowledge bases can be scoped to specific departments, recipes, or workflows. A Sales knowledge base might contain product sheets and pricing guides. A Legal knowledge base might contain contract templates and compliance policies. Auto-context automatically includes the right knowledge base based on who's running which recipe.
