Using the Knowledge Base for Your Voice Agent

The Knowledge Base lets your Voice Agent access detailed information during calls.

✅ What is the Knowledge Base?

The Knowledge Base is a collection of content (documents, web pages, or text) that the Voice Agent can reference when answering callers.

Instead of placing all information directly in the prompt, you can store it in the Knowledge Base and let the agent retrieve relevant parts during conversations.

Typical use cases include:

  • customer support documentation

  • FAQ and help center articles

  • product or service descriptions

  • internal procedures or scripts

  • onboarding or training materials


🔍 How the Knowledge Base Works

During a call, the Voice Agent:

  1. Analyzes the caller’s question.

  2. Searches the Knowledge Base for the most relevant fragments.

  3. Sends those fragments as context to the AI model.

  4. Generates a response based on this information.

This retrieval process allows the agent to provide answers based on your company’s specific knowledge.


📁 Uploading Files to the Knowledge Base

To add files:

  1. Go to Knowledge Base in the Voice Agent configuration panel.

  2. Click Add files.

  3. Drag and drop files into the upload window or select them from your device.

  4. Click Add file to upload them.

You can also choose the destination folder where the files will be stored.

Supported file formats

The Knowledge Base supports common document formats, including:

  • PDF

  • DOCX

  • TXT

  • EPUB

  • HTML

  • MD

File limits

  • Maximum file size: 21 MB per file

  • Files are automatically processed after upload so the agent can search their content.


🌐 Adding Website Content

You can also import knowledge directly from websites.

Use Add Web Pages to:

  • add individual URLs

  • import a sitemap

  • synchronize website content with the Knowledge Base

Limit: up to 500 pages per synchronization batch.

To keep the information up to date, enable automatic URL updates when available.


✍️ Adding Manual Text

If you only need to add a short piece of information, you can paste text directly into the Knowledge Base.

This works well for:

  • definitions

  • short instructions

  • call scripts

  • FAQ answers


✅ Best Practices

To improve the quality of responses from your Voice Agent:

  • use clear headings and structured paragraphs

  • group related information into a single document

  • avoid vague references like “this”, “that”, “the above”

  • include specific names, numbers, and details

  • remove unrelated content when importing website pages

Well-structured knowledge makes it easier for the agent to retrieve accurate answers.


💡 Tip:
The most effective knowledge bases typically contain a combination of FAQ content, product descriptions, and customer support procedures.
