Knowledge 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

  1. Retrieval index — Wayak builds a search index over your documents so the agent can quickly find relevant passages
  2. 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.
