What is this?

A knowledge base is the curated corpus: docs, tickets, wikis — chunked, embedded, and versioned for RAG.

Why should you care?

PromptVerse KB Admin lets teams upload PDFs, sync Confluence, and tag content by product line.

See it live — copy this example

Copy the prompt into ChatGPT, Claude, or your LLM API playground and compare outputs.

kb.ingest({
  source: "confluence",
  space: "ENG",
  chunk_size: 512,
  overlap: 64,
  tags: ["api", "v2"]
});
// nightly sync job refreshes changed pages

What happened?

  • Ingestion chunks with overlap so sentences split across boundaries still retrieve.
  • Tags filter retrieval by product.

Practice next

  1. Chunk one long page at 512 tokens.
  2. Note overlap preserves context.
  3. Tag chunks by team.
  4. Exclude draft spaces from ingest.
  5. Version KB snapshot per release.

Remember

Curate sources like a product. Chunk + overlap + tags. Sync on schedule.

Confluence sync

API docs change weekly.

Outcome: Nightly sync keeps copilot answers on v2 endpoints.
