This guide provides a step-by-step overview of how to create a Knowledge Bot, including the process of uploading documents.

Overview

Creating a Knowledge Bot with CRBN AI involves the following steps:

1. Create an empty Knowledge Bot
2. Prepare your documents for upload
3. Upload your documents
4. Announce the uploaded documents (temporary)

Steps

1. Create an empty Knowledge Bot

To create a new Knowledge Bot, send a single request to our API with the desired title for your bot. You will receive a unique id for your bot, which you'll need for the subsequent steps. For detailed instructions, refer to Create New Knowledge Bot.

2. Prepare Your Document Uploads

Uploading documents is a two-step process that optimizes your bandwidth usage, especially for larger files like videos. Here's how it works:

Get the URLs for uploading your files by announcing your file names to the Prepare Document Upload API. You will receive a path and a signedUrl for each file you want to upload. These details are used in the second step below.

3. Upload your documents

Use the provided signedUrl to send your documents to CRBN AI. Each file can be uploaded by sending the complete file within a PUT request to the respective signedUrl.

4. Announce the Uploaded Documents (temporary)

After successfully uploading your documents, you need to inform CRBN AI about them. Use the path from step 2 to announce your documents to CRBN AI through the Add Document to Knowledge Bot API.

Once your documents are announced to our API, CRBN AI will display them in the user interface of your Knowledge Bot. It will then begin extracting and processing the content for further interaction through the Chat with a Knowledge Bot API.
