How it works

## Connect, check, and keep your knowledge current.

A source is useful only when your team can see its state and correct it without rebuilding the Agent.

What changes

## One source of truth for your team and your Agent.

The fastest way to improve support quality is to make the underlying answer easier to see and maintain.

01

### All help content stays together

Website pages, files, plain text, and Q&A live in one connected library with a visible status.

02

### Only ready content is used

Indexing and error states remain visible, so incomplete material does not quietly become an answer.

03

### Gaps become a clear next task

Repeated unanswered questions tell your team which guide or Q&A to add next.

Designed for the edge cases

## Knowledge operations that stay understandable as content grows.

Everything centers on a simple question: can the Agent use this source safely right now?

### Multiple source types

Connect websites, documents, text, blogs, and curated Q&A without moving everything into a new CMS.

You stop dealing with: maintaining a second support library only for the Agent.

### Visible source status

Ready, indexing, and needs-attention states make ingestion problems visible before they affect answers.

You stop dealing with: guessing whether the latest content actually reached the Agent.

### Targeted refresh

Update or refresh one source without rebuilding the rest of the knowledge base.

You stop dealing with: reprocessing everything because one policy changed.

### Answer-gap feedback

Use real customer questions to decide which missing explanation matters most.

You stop dealing with: writing documentation from intuition instead of demand.

A visible knowledge state

## Know what the Agent knows before a customer asks.

Every source has a state your team can inspect and change.

Ready

### Indexed content can answer

The source is available to the Agent and its page count is visible.

Attention

### Broken content stays obvious

Errors and unsupported material remain outside the answer path.

Freshness

### Updates remain a deliberate action

Refresh changed content and test the affected question immediately.

Keep ownership of the answer

## A maintainable knowledge base beats a hidden prompt pile.

Compare the daily work required to keep customer answers accurate.
