Knowledge Base

The Knowledge Base is a central place in the Admin Panel where you upload, sync, and manage company documents that power the Internal Knowledge Assistant. Documents added to the Knowledge Base are used across conversations to answer questions based on your organisation’s internal information.

What the Knowledge Base is used for

Documents stored in the Knowledge Base allow the Internal Knowledge Assistant to:

  • Search internal company documents for relevant information

  • Find specific policies, clauses, or procedures

  • Compare multiple internal documents

  • Provide answers with clear references (such as page or section)

This makes the Knowledge Base suitable for shared materials like policies, contracts, procedures, and internal documentation.

Adding documents to the Knowledge Base

There are two supported ways to populate the Knowledge Base:

  • Manual upload
    Upload files directly in the Admin Panel. Each file can be up to 50 MB.

  • SharePoint integration
    Sync documents automatically from SharePoint so the Knowledge Base stays up to date without manual uploads.

Once uploaded or synced, files are processed automatically and become available for use in conversations.

File behaviour and availability

  • Files in the Knowledge Base are stored persistently and available across conversations

  • Documents are accessible based on user and group permissions

  • Updates to files are reflected automatically after synchronisation

  • Common document formats such as PDFs, Word files, spreadsheets, and presentations are supported

Knowledge Base vs. chat file upload

The Knowledge Base is different from uploading files directly in a chat:

  • Chat file upload is temporary and limited to the current conversation (up to 25 MB)

  • Knowledge Base upload is permanent and shared across conversations (up to 50 MB)

For company-wide documents that should be reused, the Knowledge Base is the recommended option.

SharePoint integration

Integrating the Knowledge Base with SharePoint allows Moterra to use your company’s existing document structure as a source of internal knowledge.

Benefits of SharePoint integration:

  • No manual document uploads are required

  • The Knowledge Base reflects content from your entire SharePoint

  • Role-based access is inherited from Entra ID, so document-level permissions are respected in AI responses

This ensures that users and agents only see information they are authorized to access.

How to enable SharePoint integration

To connect your Knowledge Base to SharePoint, Google Drive, or another file server, contact your company’s administrator or reach out to Moterra support at support@moterra.ai.
