Building Your Knowledge Base​

Now that you've completed the initial setup (covered in our Quick Start Guide), it's time to enhance your AI agent with domain-specific knowledge. This critical step transforms your agent from a generic assistant into a specialized expert tailored to your unique requirements.

Chatislav offers four powerful training methods to customize your AI agent:

Document-Based Training - Upload files in multiple document formats to provide comprehensive knowledge on specific topics and create a robust information foundation.

Audio-Based Training - Upload audio files to extract spoken content, lectures, interviews, and conversations, enabling AI systems to learn from verbal communication patterns and auditory information sources.

FAQ-Based Training - Build a curated collection of frequently asked questions and answers to help your agent handle common inquiries with precision and consistency.

Website URL Training - Connect your website content directly to your AI agent, allowing it to learn from your existing web resources and maintain contextual relevance.

YouTube Content Training - Leverage video content to enrich your agent's knowledge base with multimedia insights and information from your educational or promotional videos.

These training methods work together to create a comprehensive knowledge ecosystem that enables your AI agent to deliver informed, contextually relevant responses to your users.
