Assign a knowledge base to AiVA AI agent

Learn how to connect your AI agent to a knowledge base.

In DialLink, AI agents do not automatically have access to all knowledge bases. To enable an AI agent to use specific information, you must assign one or more knowledge bases to it.

Each AI agent can be connected to one or multiple knowledge bases. This gives you flexibility when configuring agents. For example, you can limit an agent to a specific knowledge base, so it only provides information related to a particular topic or function.

Knowledge base character limits

Each AI agent can use up to 300,000 characters of knowledge base content. This limit applies to the combined size of all knowledge bases assigned to the agent. If the agent has only one knowledge base, all the content in it must fit within 300,000 characters.

To check how much of the limit you’re using:

  1. Go to Settings.

Open the Settings desktop

2. Under AI Settings, open AI agents.
