SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill allows you to easily add local folders containing reference materials to your AI's knowledge base, making them searchable and accessible.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Folder Indexing: Indexes the content of any specified local directory.
  • Custom Store Naming: Allows you to assign a specific name to the knowledge store, or it defaults to the folder's name.
  • Background Processing: Indexing happens in the background, allowing you to continue working.
  • Use Case: You have a collection of design documents in a local folder. Use this Skill to index them so your AI can quickly retrieve relevant design specifications when needed.

Quick Start

Add the local folder '/Users/me/my-docs' to your knowledge stores, naming it 'my-docs'.

FAQPage Schema
How do I index local files into an AI knowledge base?

To index local files into an AI knowledge base, you specify a local directory for indexing into a searchable knowledge store. This allows AI agents to access and retrieve information from your reference materials asynchronously.

Can I add a local folder to AI context for searching?

Yes, you can add a local folder to AI context by indexing its contents into a knowledge store. You can assign a custom name to this store, or it will default to using the folder's name for easy identification.

How does background indexing work for local directories?

Background indexing for local directories works by executing indexing jobs asynchronously. This mechanism allows you to continue working while the knowledge execution tool processes and indexes your file-based reference materials in the background.

Do I need the Bluera knowledge execution tool to index folders?

Yes, you need the Bluera knowledge execution tool to create and manage knowledge stores. It handles the background job execution required to index your local directories and make them searchable for AI agents.

What is the best way to make design documents searchable for AI agents?

The best way to make design documents searchable for AI agents is to index the local folder containing them into a knowledge store. This process utilizes a file-based source type, enabling quick retrieval of relevant design specifications.

Are there limitations when indexing a local directory of reference material?

Indexing a local directory of reference material is limited to file-based source types. The process relies on asynchronous background job execution, meaning the knowledge store may not be immediately searchable until the indexing job completes.
