A well-maintained knowledge base is crucial for your chatbot's performance and accuracy.

  1. Create Knowledge Bases
    On the training page, you can create multiple knowledge bases. Each one serves as a distinct repository of information for your AI to draw upon.

  1. Choose the Right Knowledge Base
    Once your knowledge bases are set up, you can select which one your AI chatbot should use. This flexibility is invaluable for:

    • Testing New Information: Easily update and evaluate how the bot performs with fresh data.
    • Preparing for Business Changes: Anticipate company updates by preparing new knowledge bases in advance. When changes go live, simply switch the bot to the updated knowledge base.

Split Rule​

When saving a website link or uploading documents (PDF, DOCX, or TXT), the Split Rule feature allows you to choose how the content will be divided into smaller, manageable chunks for processing. You can select between:

  1. πŸ”’ Max Token

    • Define the maximum number of tokens per chunk.
    • Example: Setting a limit of 500 tokens will divide the content into segments, each containing up to 500 tokens.
    • Best for unstructured text like paragraphs or continuous content.

  2. πŸ”– Separator

    • Choose a separator to split the content. Examples of common separators:
      • #####
      • New line
      • ======

Example: Using Separator​

The document will be split at a specific separator, such as #####.

Input:

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. ##### It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged.

Output:

  1. "Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book."
  2. "It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged."

By choosing the appropriate Split Rule when saving links or uploading documents, you can optimize how the system processes content, ensuring accurate and efficient results.
