Create Your First Knowledge Base

Knowledge bases are collections of content sources that your AI agents can learn from. They index content and generate embeddings for your agents.

  1. Navigate to Knowledge Bases in the left sidebar
  2. Click Create Knowledge Base button
  3. Enter a name (e.g., "Product Documentation")
  4. Add a description to help identify its purpose
  5. Click Create

Add Content Sources

Now let's add some content for your knowledge base to index. Seclai supports multiple source types:

Adding an RSS Feed

RSS feeds are perfect for monitoring blogs, news sites, and content that updates regularly.

  1. Click Add Source in your knowledge base
  2. Select RSS Feed
  3. Enter the feed URL (e.g., https://example.com/feed.xml)
  4. Set the update frequency:
    • Hourly - For rapidly updating content
    • Daily - For blogs and news sites
    • Weekly - For slower-moving content
  5. Click Save

Wait for Initial Indexing

Your sources will begin indexing automatically. You can monitor progress in the knowledge base app.

  • First sync may take a few minutes depending on content volume
  • Vector embeddings are generated for each piece of content to enable similarity search
  • Status indicators show real-time indexing progress
  • You'll receive a notification when indexing is complete

Create an AI Agent

Once you have content indexed, you can create an AI agent that uses your knowledge base to answer questions.

  1. Navigate to Agents in the left sidebar
  2. Click Create Agent
  3. Select your knowledge base from the dropdown
  4. Configure the agent settings:
    • Name - Give your agent a descriptive name
    • System Prompt - Define the agent's personality, role, and instructions
    • Model - Choose from Claude, GPT, Gemini, and 50+ other models
    • Temperature - Control randomness (0.0 = focused, 1.0 = creative)
  5. Click Create

Test Your Agent

Now let's test your agent to make sure it's working correctly:

  1. Open the agent's chat interface by clicking on its name
  2. Ask questions about your indexed content
  3. The agent will use similarity search to find relevant information from your knowledge base
  4. Review the responses and refine your system prompt if needed
  5. Test edge cases and questions outside your knowledge base scope

Tips for better agent responses:

  • Use specific, clear questions in your tests
  • Check that the agent cites relevant sources
  • Refine the system prompt to guide the agent's tone and style
  • Adjust the temperature if responses are too creative or too rigid

Next Steps

Congratulations! You've created your first AI agent. Here's what you can do next:

  • Add more sources - Expand your knowledge base with additional RSS feeds, websites, or documents
  • Deploy via API - Integrate your agent into applications using our REST API
  • Monitor usage - Track performance metrics, response quality, and usage patterns
