What is Knowledge Base?

A structured repository of information used by agents and AI bots.

Definition

A knowledge base is a centralised repository of structured information — articles, FAQs, product documentation, policies — that serves as a reference for customer support agents and as training data for AI-powered chatbots.

How it works

Knowledge bases can be internal (agent-facing) or external (customer-facing). For AI applications, the knowledge base is indexed and used for retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), enabling bots to provide accurate, contextual answers. Key features include version control, search, categorisation, and analytics.

In Lodgestory

Lodgestory's AI agents use a knowledge bank where you upload documents, URLs, and FAQs to train the AI for automated customer responses.
