Knowledge base and chat

Knowledge base and chat brings your organization's handbooks, policies and procedures together in one place. Your team searches it for the right answer, or asks a chat that answers from your documents and links the source behind every answer.

  • Upload PDF, Word, Markdown or text and search it right away
  • Every answer links the document it came from
  • Collections for processes, products and support

The Knowledge base screen in AgentticCRM with fictitious data: the organization's documents with their collection, their status (indexed, failed or archived), their size and the date they were updated, beside the plan's capacity and the buttons to create a collection and upload documents. “Refund” is typed into the search, and it shows who handles the topic, with the position and the people who hold it, and the passages of the documents with the word highlighted. Then, in the Knowledge Chat, someone asks what happens if a client cancels after signing and gets a written answer with the sources it came from.

Two ways to find an answer

Use search when you want to see the exact passage, and the chat when you would rather get a written answer.

Library search

  • Type a word or a phrase and see the matching passages, highlighted
  • Narrow the search to a single collection
  • Also shows which position handles the topic and who holds it
  • Works without connecting an AI provider
  • Your connected ChatGPT or Claude searches here too, only in what you are allowed to read

Knowledge Chat

  • Ask in your own words and get a written answer
  • Answers from the documents your team uploaded
  • Lists the sources it used, with a link to each one
  • Keeps your conversations so you can pick them up later

The chat only looks at documents. For questions about clients, invoices or projects, use the Assistant.

How a document gets into your knowledge base

  1. Upload your documents

    Drag in one or several files at once: PDF, Word (.docx), Markdown or plain text, up to 25 MB each.

  2. AgentticCRM reads the text

    When the upload finishes, the text is extracted and split into searchable passages. The file shows as Indexed, meaning ready to search, or tells you why it failed.

  3. Sort it into collections

    Group documents by topic, such as Internal procedures or Support policies, and move them between collections right from the list.

  4. Search it or ask about it

    From then on it shows up in library search and in Knowledge Chat answers.

A library your team can keep up to date

  • Status for every document

    See which files are indexed, which failed and why: no readable text, an unsupported format or a file that is too large.

  • The extracted text, in plain view

    Open a document to check the text that was read and how many searchable passages it has before you rely on it.

  • Archive without deleting

    Archive a policy that no longer applies: it stays on the list but stops appearing in searches and answers.

  • Search by meaning

    Finds the passage even when your words differ from the document's, and even when you ask in Spanish about a document written in English.

  • Permissions for each action

    Decide who can view, upload, edit or delete documents, and who can use Knowledge Chat.

  • Your plan's capacity, in view

    The library shows how many documents and how much storage you use against what your plan includes.

Ask who is responsible for a topic

In Positions you describe each role in your organization: its responsibilities, decision rights, escalation path and the people who hold it.

When you search the library for a topic that appears in a position's title, description or responsibilities, the results include a “Who does this” section with that position and the people who hold it.

When your documents don't cover a question, the chat tells you so and suggests uploading a related document. That way you know what your knowledge base is missing.

Frequently asked questions

Are my documents sent to an AI service?

Search runs inside AgentticCRM without sending your documents to any outside service. Only when you use the chat are the passages found for that question sent to the AI provider your organization connected, so it can write the answer.

Which files can I upload?

PDF, Word (.docx), Markdown and plain text, up to 25 MB per file. A PDF scanned as an image has no text to read, so upload a version that contains text.

Do I need to connect an AI provider to use it?

Not for search: library search works from the first document. For the chat to write answers, your organization connects its provider in Settings, under Assistant model.

Who can upload or delete documents?

Each person's role decides. Viewing, uploading, editing and deleting are separate permissions, and so is using the chat. By default, a Member can view, upload and edit, but not delete.

Can my clients look things up in it?

No, it is a tool for your team and your clients don't see it. What reaches them are better-prepared replies, such as the WhatsApp drafts your team reviews before sending.

Can I search within one collection only?

Yes. In the library you pick a collection and both the list and the search are limited to its documents.
