Skip to main contentKnowledge bases store your unstructured data — PDFs, reports, presentations, wiki exports, and other documents. Wayak indexes them for fast retrieval and gives the agent the ability to read and reason over the full content.
What knowledge bases do
- Retrieval index — Wayak builds a search index over your documents so the agent can quickly find relevant passages
- Full document access — The agent can pull and read entire files when it needs deeper context, not just matched snippets
What you can upload
- PDFs and documents
- Presentations and slide decks
- Internal wiki exports
- Research papers and reports
- Any text-based file
How it differs from the lakehouse
The lakehouse handles structured, tabular data (spreadsheets, CSVs). Knowledge bases handle narrative, free-form content (documents, reports). Use both together for complete coverage of your organization’s data.
