Knowledge Base

A Knowledge Base is a structured repository of information, facts, and data that AI systems can access and utilize to provide accurate, relevant, and up-to-date responses to user queries. Unlike the static knowledge embedded in an AI model's training data, a knowledge base can be dynamically updated and serves as an external source of truth. Knowledge bases can contain various types of information including factual data, procedures, policies, documentation, and domain-specific expertise. They're particularly important in enterprise AI applications where accuracy and current information are critical. Modern AI systems often use techniques like Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) to connect with knowledge bases, allowing them to ground their responses in verified information and reduce hallucinations. Knowledge bases can be implemented using various technologies including traditional databases, document stores, or specialized vector databases that enable semantic search and retrieval.
