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.Data Source Types
Understand which source fits your content.| Type | Format | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| File | PDF, DOCX, TXT, CSV, XLSX | Internal SOPs, Product Manuals, Price Lists. |
| Text | Raw Text | Paste specific paragraphs or temporary rules directly. |
| Website | URL | Dynamic content like blog posts or help centers. |
| Image | JPG, PNG | Visual assets the AI sends to users (e.g., Menus, Maps). |
