Index knowledge base

Before using the knowledge base, it needs to be indexed. Indexing the knowledge base in Tovie Data Agent includes the following steps:

1. Preparing the uploaded data.

2. Chunking: dividing data into small fragments (chunks).

3. Vectorisation: converting text fragments into vectors.

   When preparing the response to a user query, Tovie Data Agent compares the query vector with the chunk vectors.

How to index knowledge base

Click Index at the top of any page.

After that, the knowledge base indexing begins, which may take some time depending on the data volume. You can leave the page — this will not affect the indexing.

caution

All the files and web pages uploaded are subject to index. You cannot select specific sources for indexing. If you want to index a portion of the data, remove unnecessary sources before indexing.

Once indexing is complete, go to the Chat section to test your knowledge base.

How to re-index knowledge base

If you have uploaded new data or want to index the knowledge base with different settings, re-index it. Re-indexing is similar to indexing.

Note that after re-indexing, you will no longer have access to the previous version of the knowledge base (index).
