How to build a RAG knowledge base with your AI

Connect your data sources once. After that, your agent can query them directly to provide grounded answers.

Ask AI about this page

Short answer

How do I give my AI access to my own files and websites?

You upload your documents or point the agent to a URL to create a semantic index. Once the data is ingested, your agent uses that index to find relevant information for any prompt. You get an agent that actually knows your specific context.

Where every piece of data lands.

The outcomes of your data ingestion.

Once the process finishes, your agent has a structured way to look up information.

INDEXED

Searchable data index

Your files and web pages are converted into a semantic format. The AI can now find meaning in your data, not just keywords.

GROUNDED

Fact-based responses

The agent uses the index to pull specific details. This stops the AI from making things up when you ask about your files.

ORGANIZED

Structured storage

All your information lives in a dedicated bucket. This keeps your knowledge base separate and easy to manage.

HUMAN

Manual review needed

You decide which files or URLs are worth adding. The AI won't decide what's important to index without your input.

The workflow

What your AI does when you provide data.

The agent handles the heavy lifting of organizing and retrieving your information.

  1. Set up storage

    The agent prepares a dedicated space to hold your indexed information.

    create_bucket

  2. Add your files

    You provide local documents which the agent processes into the index.

    ingest_documents

  3. Add web content

    The agent crawls specific websites to pull in their text and structure.

    ingest_website

  4. Retrieve answers

    When you ask a question, the agent looks through the index to find the right context.

    search_content

FAQ

How the knowledge base works

  • 01

    Can the AI delete my original files?

    No. The agent only reads your files to create an index; it cannot modify or delete your local files.

  • 02

    How does the AI find the right information?

    It uses the search tool to perform a semantic search against the index you created.

  • 03

    Can the AI browse the entire internet?

    No. It can only ingest specific websites that you explicitly tell it to crawl.

  • 04

    Does the AI decide which files to index?

    No. You must manually trigger the ingestion for specific documents or websites.

  • 05

    Can I use this with Claude or Cursor?

    Yes. Any MCP-compatible client can use this once you connect GroundX.
