Definition

A Knowledge Base is a custom and editable content database hosted in ViaSay Chatbot. It functions similarly to an external API and is particularly useful for:

Checking a database for conditions or values
Retrieving content to build bot answers

Knowledge Bases are ideal for hosting data that requires manual updates and is not already available through APIs.

Creation and Management

Importing Data: Create a Knowledge Base by uploading a CSV file or pasting a JSON object.

Create a new Knowledge base
Viewing Options: Data can be viewed as raw JSON or in a table format.
