Connecting your first knowledge source

Getting Started

Every AI answer OnyxBot gives is grounded in knowledge you connect. No knowledge, no answers, so this is the step that brings the AI to life.

What you can connect

  • Websites. Paste a URL and OnyxBot crawls it, or add individual pages. Docs sites work brilliantly.
  • Files. Upload PDF, Markdown, or plain text files.
  • Resolved tickets. Later, answers your staff give in tickets can become knowledge too. See how OnyxBot learns from resolved tickets.

Steps

  1. Open AI, then Knowledge in the dashboard.
  2. Pick the Websites or Files tab and add your source.
  3. Wait for indexing to finish. Pages show as indexed when they are searchable.

Tips for good answers

  • Connect the content your members actually ask about: setup guides, troubleshooting pages, FAQs, changelogs.
  • Prefer pages with real sentences over pages of screenshots. OnyxBot reads text.
  • You can preview exactly what was indexed for any source, and disable or delete any source at any time.

The Free plan includes 100 knowledge sources; Pro includes 1,500. See what each plan costs.

Next, learn how OnyxBot turns those sources into answers.
