- Source Name — file name, Q&A title, or URL for quick identification
- Status — Processing (ingesting) or Enabled (active)
- Source Size — file size
- Usage Count — how often the AI used this source
- Updated — last update time
Pro tip: Keep titles consistent (e.g., “Policy • Returns • v2”) so they’re easy to find and maintain.
KB Tags
KB Tags are key–value pairs (e.g.,department: billing
, product: x
, audience: internal
) that let you route and scope which sources the AI can use.
Example:For billing queries, workflows can be configured to only search documents tagged
department: billing
.

Best practices
Best practices
- Standardize keys (e.g.,
department
,product
,audience
) - Keep values short and predictable (e.g.,
billing
,returns
,pro
) - Use 1–3 tags per source for clarity
Account Usage & Limits
Plans include limits on total sources and storage size.- Monitor current usage at the top of the Source page.
- If you’re close to limits, plan a cleanup or consider an upgrade.
Housekeeping matters: Archive or disable stale sources to keep the index lean and fast.
Activate with the KB Agent
Open KB Agent from the left menu to connect instructions and sources:- Add Custom Instructions to guide tone, format, and decision-making.
- Review the list of active KB Sources and confirm the scope aligns with your tags and workflows.
Instruction hygiene: Be explicit about what to cite, what to avoid, and how to answer (bullet points vs paragraphs, add links, etc.).
Q&As and KB Gap
- QnAs: Create canonical Q&A pairs for high-traffic questions.
- KB Gap: See questions the AI couldn’t answer with current sources—then fill those gaps with new docs or Q&As.
Closing the loop
Closing the loop
Review KB Gap weekly, add or tag missing sources, and update instructions if needed. This continuous loop boosts accuracy and deflection.
