# Knowledge bases

> Ground your assistant in your company's content

A **knowledge base** gives your assistant your company's context. Instead of
answering from general knowledge, the assistant searches your workspace's
knowledge base and grounds its answers in what it finds — with your permission
model applied.

## Sources

Your workspace has a default knowledge base fed by three kinds of sources:

<CardGroup cols={3}>
  <Card title="Uploads" icon="file-arrow-up">
    PDFs, Word documents, and other files your team uploads directly.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Websites" icon="globe">
    Pages you point Kelasa at — handbooks, wikis, public docs.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Integrations" icon="plug">
    Content synced automatically from connected tools when you connect them.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## How it works

When a source is added, Kelasa ingests its content — splitting documents into
searchable passages and indexing them for semantic search. When you ask the
assistant something, it retrieves the most relevant passages and answers from
them.

Integration sources stay in sync automatically: connect a tool, and its
knowledge content flows into the knowledge base without manual re-uploads. A
source shows as **Ready** once its content is searchable.

## Managing knowledge

Everything lives under **Knowledge** in the web app: add or remove sources,
watch sync status, and see what the assistant can draw from. Removing a source
removes its content from search.
