Knowledge bases and retrieval (RAG)

How FlexyAgents ingests content, chunks and embeds it, retrieves relevant passages, and steers the model to stay grounded in what you approved.

Retrieval-augmented generation means the model receives excerpts from your corpus before it answers. FlexyAgents handles ingestion pipelines, vector search, and ranking so operators focus on content quality and scope—not low-level ML plumbing.

When retrieval finds nothing useful, well-tuned agents should admit uncertainty and offer human paths instead of inventing facts.

Ingestion paths

Uploads cover PDFs, Office documents, HTML exports, images, audio, video, and other supported binaries. Text extraction may combine parsers, OCR, and optional Gemini vision or transcription when configured. Connectors sync SaaS sources on a schedule. Crawlers pull public URLs with depth and politeness controls and can optionally process linked images and media.

Structured Q&A rows complement long documents for answers that must be verbatim—policies, legal blurbs, or SKU facts.

  • See Documentation → Knowledge → Uploads & formats for file types; Documentation → Knowledge → AI vision, transcription & limits for quotas and Gemini keys.
  • Connectors are listed under Documentation → Integrations with per-product setup steps.

Grounding, citations, and refusal

Product behavior encourages citing sources customers recognize (article titles, URLs) when your template requests it. Refusal templates reduce hallucination risk for high-stakes topics.

Analytics on “unknown” or low-confidence turns helps prioritize knowledge gaps without reading every transcript.
