Sources Overview

How to add, manage, and organize sources so your AI agent can answer questions accurately

Data Sources#

Open Agent Studio → Data sources for one inventory of the information your customer agent can use. Add sources, filter the list, and open a source's details to inspect its content, status, and available actions. Older source-type links redirect into this workspace.

Choose a source#

Add and prepare content#

  1. Choose Add source and select the appropriate type.
  2. Upload, paste, link, or connect the information requested by that type.
  3. Review what was added and any processing or review errors.
  4. Use the offered training action when the content is ready.
  5. Test a realistic customer question in Playground.

Adding a source, discovering URLs, extracting content, and training knowledge are different stages. A saved row alone does not prove the customer agent can answer from it.

Website status and counts#

StateWhat to do
DiscoveringAllow URL discovery to finish; use the offered recovery action if it needs attention
Ready to trainReview selected pages before training
Queued, processing, or trainingFollow progress; avoid repeatedly starting the same work
Retry queued, paused, or errorInspect details and use the available recovery control
TrainedCheck page coverage and test answers

Discovered URLs are not necessarily downloaded or trained. A failed page does not mean the entire site failed. Open the page inventory, inspect failed URLs, and use an individual retry where available. During refresh, follow status and coverage before assuming new information is usable.

Learn from past conversations#

Supported Messenger and Instagram history can help Alon propose answers, communication guidance, processes, and source fixes. Ask Alon what evidence is available for your setup or improvement, then review each proposal in its originating chat or product page. Other channel connections do not provide the same historical import capability.

A past message proves what was said then, not that the answer is current or approved today. Conflicts and missing evidence need your decision.

Keep answers current#

Use Agent Studio → Source Health for missing answers, conflicting facts, duplicate content, and weak sources. Update the authoritative source, retrain where required, and retest.

An uploaded file or periodically synced table is a snapshot. Use an enabled live lookup Tool for current stock or availability. A lookup does not itself reserve inventory or create a booking.
