Setting Up a Knowledge Base

1. Understanding the Knowledge Base

The knowledge base is where you add your business-specific details that your agent's prompt doesn't already cover — things like:

  • Services offered

  • Operating hours

  • Pricing and estimates

  • Policies (e.g., cancellation fees)

2. Accessing the Knowledge Base

  • Go to Voice Agents, then click the Knowledge Base tab.

  • Click Create Knowledge Base (top right).

  • Name your knowledge base in the Add Voice Knowledge Base modal.

3. Adding Data

You have three ways to populate it, right in the same modal:

  • Add Web Pages — paste in your company's website URL(s) to pull text automatically.

  • Upload Files — upload PDFs or documents containing policies, pricing, or FAQs.

  • Add Text — manually type in content. This is also where you'd add FAQs — format them as clear question/answer pairs since there's no separate FAQ tool, e.g.: "Q: Do you offer free estimates? A: Yes, we provide free estimates for all services."

4. Testing the Knowledge Base

I haven't seen a dedicated "test" feature for the knowledge base itself — the way to verify it's working is to place a test call to the agent and ask it questions that should be answered from what you just added. If it gives a wrong or incomplete answer, go back and add or edit an entry.

5. Best Practices

  • Consistency: group similar information together rather than scattering it across many small entries.

  • FAQs first: these tend to give the most precise, reliable answers.

  • Keep it current: update it whenever your offer, pricing, or hours change.

  • Test regularly: place test calls periodically to confirm accuracy as you add more content.
