The four source types
Files
PDF, Word (
.doc, .docx) or plain text (.txt). Up to 4 MB per file.Text
Paste anything the agent should know — a policy, an FAQ, a page of notes. No file needed.
Websites
Add a URL and the pages get read for you when you publish.
Q&A
A question customers actually ask, and the answer you want given.
Files
This is separate from your storage allowance, which is the total across your whole account and every agent in it:Websites
Paste a publicly reachable URL. Pages are fetched when you publish, not when you add the URL.
A site is read as it exists at publish time. To pick up changes, publish again.
AgntLabs will not crawl the same URL twice for one agent — if the URL is already there, add it once and republish.
Q&A pairs
The most precise control you have. Write the question the way a customer would ask it, and the answer exactly as you want it given.
Q&A pairs are the right tool when a specific question needs a specific answer — pricing, a policy, a caveat you always want mentioned.
Publishing
Adding a source does not make it usable. Publishing does. Press Publish and AgntLabs reads each pending source, splits it into chunks, embeds those chunks and stores them for this agent. It also applies edits and deletions you have made to sources that were already live.Edits to a live source are staged, not immediate. Change a Q&A answer and the old answer keeps being used until you publish. This is deliberate — it lets you make several changes and apply them together.
Reading the summary
The closed Knowledge base row reports three numbers:- Total — every source in the list, including failed ones
- Unpublished — added but not yet embedded; your agent cannot use these
- Failed — could not be read at all
Fixing what your agent cannot answer
When your agent is asked something on-topic that it cannot answer, that is recorded as a knowledge gap. Gaps show up in two places:- Home — a Needs attention card with the top failures
- Analytics → Performance — the full ranked list, with the reason:
- No source covers this — nothing relevant was retrieved. Add a source.
- Answer incomplete — a source came back but did not carry the answer. Edit it.
