This guide walks you through the process of creating an AI Agent that uses Knowledge AI to search information in a knowledge database, extract information, and output answers generated by a large language model (LLM). You’ll learn how to create your first Knowledge Store, upload Knowledge Sources, and test your AI Agent using the Interaction Panel in the Flow editor.

Prerequisites

Set up Knowledge Store

Set up Knowledge Store involves three steps in the Knowledge AI wizard:
  1. Configure Store — enter the details of your Knowledge Store.
  2. Upload Knowledge — upload files to create your first Knowledge Source.
  3. Configure Flow — configure an Answer Extraction model and create a simple Knowledge AI Flow.
In your new Project, select Build > Knowledge to open the Knowledge AI wizard. Then, follow the sections below.

Configure Knowledge Store

Select your embedding model. You will need the following information to configure the Knowledge Store as follows according to your LLM Provider:

Upload Knowledge

For this step, download this Cognigy text (CTXT) file about xApps. To use a CTXT file as a Knowledge Source, select Cognigy CTXT from the Type list and upload the downloaded CTXT file.

Configure Flow

In this step, proceed as follows:
  1. Configure an Answer Extraction model in the Configure Answer Extraction Model section. The Answer Extraction model generates the AI Agent’s answer based on the Knowledge Search results.
  2. Create a simple Flow with a Search Extract Output Node for testing Knowledge AI by clicking Create Flow. Cognigy.AI creates a Flow named Knowledge AI followed by a number.

Test your Agent

In Build > Flows, select the Flow you created in the Knowledge Store Wizard.
Knowledge AI Flow selected for testing in the Flow list
To test Knowledge AI, follow these steps:
  1. Open the Interaction Panel by clicking interaction-panel in the upper-right corner of the page.
  2. Ask the AI Agent What are xApps?. The AI Agent will search the Knowledge Store and generate an answer in the chat.

What’s Next?

  1. Try creating a Knowledge Store with Knowledge Sources relevant to your business needs.
  2. Add Knowledge AI to your Flow with a Search Extract Output Node and refine the Node settings to cater to your needs.
