Knowledge base
A structured collection of documents, articles, and answers that AI assistants use to ground responses for employees or customers.
Definition
Knowledge bases include help centres, wikis, policies, and product documentation. AI tools ingest them for retrieval and answer generation, so their accuracy, coverage, and freshness directly limit answer quality. Verification workflows and ownership keep them current.
Why it matters when choosing a tool
An AI support or knowledge assistant is only as good as the knowledge base behind it; invest in content before expecting resolution rates.
