Why use diverse data sources?

Your AI Agent needs different types of “brain food” to be effective. While a PDF might contain your return policy, a CSV might hold your pricing list, and an Image acts as a visual menu to send to customers. Combining these sources creates a robust, expert agent.

Select and Configure Source

Choose the tab that matches your data type.
Upload documents directly.
  1. Select the File tab.
  2. Drag and drop your file (Max 10MB).
  3. Give it a clear Title (e.g., “Return Policy 2025”).
  4. Click Save knowledge.
Connect your live web content.
  1. Select the Website tab.
  2. Enter the Website URL.
  3. Choose your crawl method below.
Method 1: Single Page (Default)
  • What it does: Indexes only the specific article or page you provide.
  • When to use: For a specific blog post, product page, or news article.
  • Example: https://yourwebsite.com/blog/latest-feature (Unchecked box).
Method 2: Crawl Entire Website
  • What it does: Looks for the sitemap and systematically indexes all connected pages.
  • When to use: To teach the AI about your entire company, products, and services.
  • Example: https://yourwebsite.com (Checked box).
⚠️ Deep Dive: Crawling Best PracticesFor “Crawl entire website” to work optimally, you must provide the main domain.
  • ✅ Do this: Enter a root domain like https://bitbybit.studio. This allows the crawler to easily find the sitemap.
  • ❌ Avoid this: Do not enter a specific sub-page like https://bitbybit.studio/bitchat with the crawl box checked. The crawler may fail to locate the sitemap from a deep link.

Teach the AI to send images.

  3. Critical: In the “When should the AI send this image?” field, type the trigger prompt (e.g., “Send this when user asks for the dinner menu”).
