How to update bot knowledge bases with your AI

Connect Cody AI once to give your agent access to new data. From there, you can feed it fresh files or web content through your chat window.

Ask AI about this page

Short answer

How can I add new data to my AI's knowledge?

You can expand your bot's training data by providing web URLs or specific folder paths directly in the chat. This allows your agent to ingest new information and use it for immediate context. You'll see how the data is processed in the breakdown below.

Data outcomes

Where your data lands.

The AI processes your inputs into usable context for your specialized bots.

INGESTED

New web context

The AI pulls content from the URLs you provide. This makes the information available for your next question.

INDEXED

Folder data access

Your agent scans the directories you point it toward. It maps out the files so it can reference them later.

ACTIVE

Updated bot memory

The new information becomes part of the bot's specialized knowledge. You can start asking questions about the new data immediately.

HUMAN

Manual review needed

You decide which files or links are relevant. The AI won't decide what to keep or delete on its own.

The workflow

What your AI does when <the thing arrives>.

The AI handles the heavy lifting of reading and organizing the data you provide.

  1. Locate data

    The AI identifies the specific folders or directories you want it to look at.

    list_folders

  2. Fetch web content

    The agent visits the web addresses you provide to grab the text and information.

    import_webpage

  3. Parse information

    The AI reads through the gathered files and web pages to understand the context.

    import_webpage

  4. Update context

    The agent integrates the new data into its current session so it can answer your questions.

    import_webpagelist_folders
