Preparing Your Knowledge Base for Generative AI

Incorporating Generative AI into your knowledge base can dramatically improve the way your organization manages data, answers inquiries, and interacts with users. To harness the full potential of Generative AI within the Capacity platform, it’s critical to properly prepare and organize your knowledge base. This guide provides comprehensive steps and recommendations to ensure your knowledge base is ready for Generative AI, based on insights from Mike Hunigan and details from our latest press release.

Organizing Your Knowledge Base

Identifying Key Content Types:

Start by understanding the different types of content your organization already possesses. Content types that are especially beneficial for Generative AI include:

• Manuals and Guidelines.
• Internal Policies and Procedures.
• Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs).
• Customer Service Transcripts
• Product Descriptions and Documentation

Supported Content/File Types:

As we progress, we are excited about the prospect of expanding our support to additional file types, further broadening the versatility of the Capacity platform. Understanding that different organizations may rely on various documentation formats, we're committed to inclusivity in file type compatibility. 

In the meantime, for file types not yet directly supported, we recommend converting these documents into PDFs as a temporary solution. This approach ensures that no material goes unused and that your knowledge base remains as comprehensive and impactful as possible.

Creating a Structured Folder System

Your knowledge base should mirror a well-organized library. Here’s how you can set it up:
