Knowledge Integration

Rezolve.ai | Next-Gen ITSM & HR Support | Agentic AI-Powered Automation's Knowledge Management system forms the foundation of the Virtual Agent's intelligence, providing the information sources that power accurate, relevant responses to user queries. This comprehensive knowledge ecosystem incorporates multiple content types and sources, enabling organizations to leverage existing documentation alongside purpose-built content to create a robust information foundation.

Knowledge Overview

The Knowledge Management capabilities span across several key areas, including document management, SharePoint integration, external website indexing, knowledge article creation, and knowledge gap analysis. Together, these features create a dynamic, evolving knowledge base that continuously improves through usage and feedback.

Documents Management​

Purpose and Functionality​

The Documents Management feature allows organizations to incorporate existing documentation into the Virtual Agent's knowledge base. This capability enables the bot to reference and provide information from a wide range of organizational documents without requiring manual recreation of content.

Document Upload Example

  • Audience Targeting: Apply whitelist or blacklist settings to control information access
  • Version Management: Replace existing documents with updated versions while maintaining history
  • Bulk Operations: Perform actions on multiple documents simultaneously
  • Advanced Processing: Automatic content extraction, indexing, and relationship mapping
  • Analytics Integration: Track document effectiveness in answering user queries

Implementation Best Practices​

  1. Document Preparation:
    • Ensure clear structure with descriptive headings
    • Use concise, direct language
    • Minimize complex formatting that might be lost in processing
    • Verify information is current before uploading
  2. Strategic Uploading:
    • Prioritize documents addressing common questions
    • Group related documents for better context
    • Apply appropriate audience settings
    • Test effectiveness with sample questions after upload
  3. Maintenance Workflow:
    • Establish regular document review schedule
    • Monitor usage analytics to identify high and low-performing documents
    • Update content based on knowledge gap analysis
    • Remove outdated or redundant documentation

The Documents Management feature is particularly valuable for quickly building a comprehensive knowledge base using existing organizational materials, significantly reducing the time required to deploy an effective Virtual Agent.

SharePoint Integration​

Purpose and Functionality​

The SharePoint Integration feature enables the Virtual Agent to access, index, and utilize information stored in SharePoint sites, creating a seamless connection to this critical knowledge repository. This integration allows organizations to leverage their SharePoint investment while making that information accessible through conversational interfaces.

SharePoint Integration

Key Capabilities​

  • Permission Respect: Honor existing SharePoint permissions in knowledge delivery
  • Content Monitoring: Automatically detect and index content changes
  • Deep Indexing: Process both page content and attached documents
  • Metadata Utilization: Leverage SharePoint metadata for enhanced matching

Implementation Best Practices​

  1. Connection Strategy:
    • Identify highest-value SharePoint resources to connect first
    • Consider content quality and organization when selecting sites
    • Balance comprehensive coverage with relevance
    • Validate permissions and access before configuration
  2. Optimization Techniques:
    • Ensure SharePoint content follows good structure practices
    • Use consistent metadata across connected sites
    • Consider creating dedicated knowledge-focused SharePoint areas
    • Maintain clean, well-organized SharePoint environments
  3. Ongoing Management:
    • Monitor connection health and reindexing status
    • Track which SharePoint sources are most effectively answering queries
    • Address permission changes that might affect knowledge access
    • Coordinate SharePoint governance with knowledge management strategy

The SharePoint Integration creates a "living connection" that ensures the Virtual Agent always has access to the latest information without requiring manual updates or synchronization, making it particularly valuable for dynamic, frequently updated content.

External Websites​

Purpose and Functionality​

The External Websites feature allows the Virtual Agent to access and utilize information from specified public or internal websites, extending the knowledge base beyond organizational boundaries. This capability enables incorporation of partner resources, industry information, or specialized content hosted on external platforms.

External Website Indexing

Key Capabilities​

  • URL Configuration: Add specific websites for indexing and knowledge extraction

  • Scheduled Refreshing: Set automatic reindexing frequency to maintain current information
  • Content Filtering: Specify which parts of sites should be included or excluded
  • Authentication Support: Access password-protected websites when necessary
  • Domain Restrictions: Limit crawling to specific domains or subdomains
  • Content Transformation: Process web content into appropriate knowledge formats

Implementation Best Practices​

  1. Website Selection:
    • Choose authoritative, reliable external sources
    • Prioritize well-structured sites with clear information
    • Consider content stability and update frequency
    • Ensure external content aligns with organizational knowledge
  2. Crawl Configuration:
    • Start with conservative crawl depths and expand as needed
    • Set appropriate refresh intervals based on content change frequency
    • Use specific starting URLs rather than entire domains when possible
    • Test crawl results before full implementation
  3. Compliance Considerations:
    • Verify terms of service permit crawling of external sites
    • Consider data privacy implications of external content
    • Document sources of external information
    • Monitor for changes in external site structures or policies

The External Websites feature is particularly valuable for organizations that rely on industry standards, partner documentation, or other external knowledge that complements internal information resources.

Knowledge Articles​

Purpose and Functionality​

Knowledge Articles are purpose-built content pieces specifically designed for conversational AI delivery. Unlike imported documents or connected sources, these articles are created directly within Rezolve.ai to answer common questions, explain procedures, clarify policies, or provide guidance on various topics.

Knowledge Article Creation

Key Capabilities​

  • Dual Article Types: Choose between Scripted (exact wording) and Non-Scripted (AI-generated responses) formats
  • Rich Media Support: Include images, videos, links, and attachments in Scripted articles
  • Multi-Step Answers: Create sequential, step-by-step information delivery for complex topics
  • Question Variants: Add alternative phrasings to improve matching accuracy
  • Audience Targeting: Apply whitelist or blacklist settings to control information access
  • Workspace Organization: Group articles by department, function, or topic
  • AutoComplete: AI-assisted content generation based on article titles
  • Draft/Published Workflow: Control when articles become active in the knowledge base

Implementation Best Practices​

  1. Article Type Selection:
    • Use Scripted Articles for compliance-sensitive, precise, or step-by-step content
    • Choose Non-Scripted Articles for general information, FAQs, and conversational topics
    • Consider audience expectations and information sensitivity
  2. Content Development:
    • Frame titles as natural questions users would actually ask
    • Include comprehensive question variants to improve matching
    • Keep content concise but complete
