Knowledge

Attach Knowledge Base collections in Action Agent Studio so the agent can search and read documents during chat.

Knowledge

The Knowledge card in Action Agent Studio sits above the model and prompt. Attach one or more Knowledge Base collections. Chat then gets two background tools:

  • search_knowledge: find snippets in the selected collections
  • read_document: read a slice of extracted text by document id

Search is scoped to the organization and the collections you attached.

Knowledge files are organization uploads (ArtifactType.uploaded). They are not generated agent artifacts.

Collections

  1. Open workspace Knowledge Base and create a collection.
  2. Upload documents (txt, Markdown, CSV, JSON, PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OpenDocument, RTF).
  3. In Studio, attach those collections on the Knowledge card.
  4. Save. The tools are available on the next message (configVersion).

A background job extracts searchable text. Search uses PostgreSQL full-text search, not embeddings or RAG.

Catalog Generate Text, Generate JSON, and Generate File nodes can select the same collections. That is an ActionFlow feature. See Knowledge Base.

Triggers

Bind an agent to Slack, Discord, Teams, email, or a schedule. These are Studio bindings, not flow start nodes.

Model selection

Pick a function-calling model, effort, and fast mode for an Action Agent. Provider keys stay on the organization.
