What is Enterprise Knowledge Base?

Enterprise Knowledge Base is an AI search and Q&A system built on your company's documents: employees ask in natural language, AI finds answers from internal materials with cited sources — making dormant documents talk. Every company has piles of documents (policies, processes, product manuals, project records, training material) that nobody can find when needed. The knowledge base indexes everything for semantic search and Q&A, boosting onboarding, cross-team collaboration and service lookups. Private deployment keeps materials in-house, with role-based access control (different departments see different content). For growing companies over 20 people, R&D teams with heavy documentation and service teams with dense knowledge needs.

How to use Enterprise Knowledge Base

  1. Import documents: upload Word/PDF/PPT/Excel/Markdown/web pages, or connect your enterprise drive, Confluence or Yuque.
  2. Configure permissions: set visibility by department and role, isolate sensitive documents.
  3. Build indexes: automatic parsing, chunking and vectorization (batched for large volumes).
  4. Open Q&A entry: plug into WeCom/DingTalk/Feishu bots or deploy a standalone Q&A site.
  5. Keep operating: import new documents regularly and manually calibrate items flagged as inaccurate.
