Knowledge Base

Bring documents and web pages together, generate structured Knowledge Cards, and make that knowledge available to Wakers.

QoderWake Knowledge Base brings documents and web pages together in one place and automatically turns them into structured Knowledge Cards. This helps your digital employees (Wakers) understand both engineering implementation and business context. A knowledge base serves as a Waker's long-term knowledge foundation. Imported knowledge can be retrieved and cited automatically in conversations and tasks. On Teams and Enterprise plans, you can also share knowledge bases with organization members.

Core concepts

ConceptDescription
Knowledge BaseThe main unit for organizing knowledge. Each knowledge base contains a related set of sources and the Knowledge Cards generated from them.
SourcesImported files and web pages organized in a folder tree. Sources remain available before and after compilation.
Knowledge CardAn atomic knowledge unit extracted from sources. It includes a core definition, source references, and related knowledge links for retrieval and reuse.
Knowledge compilationDistills source content into LLM Wiki Knowledge Cards.
Knowledge retrievalLets you ask questions directly and automatically cites the knowledge used in each answer.

Create a knowledge base

Open Knowledge Base from the left navigation. The management page has Created by me and Shared with me tabs, and lists each knowledge base with its file count and last update time. Click Create Knowledge Base to create an empty knowledge base, then open it to add sources.

Add sources

Add sources
On the knowledge base details page, click Add Source in the left panel. Imported sources are stored in their original form and organized in a folder tree until you compile them.

Upload local files

Supported formats include PDF, Word (.doc/.docx), Excel (.xls/.xlsx), PowerPoint (.ppt/.pptx), Markdown, TXT, CSV, HTML, SVG, and images (.png/.jpg/.gif/.webp/.bmp). You can also drag files into the upload dialog.

Public URLs

Paste one or more public web page URLs to import their content. QoderWake checks for duplicate URLs as you type, so previously imported pages do not need to be added again.

Generate Knowledge Cards

Imported sources must be compiled before they can become structured Knowledge Cards:
  1. Switch to the Cards tab in the left panel. If no cards exist, the page shows an empty state and a compilation entry.
  2. Compilation extracts atomic knowledge units from the sources and displays progress and statistics.
  3. When compilation finishes, browse all Knowledge Cards in a folder tree under Cards.
Each Knowledge Card contains a core definition, source references, and related knowledge links. Select a related card link to open its details.

Browse knowledge and preview documents

The left panel organizes content under Sources and Cards. Its folder tree supports expanding and collapsing folders, document counts, and highlighted fuzzy search results. The center panel displays the selected content.
  • A clickable breadcrumb at the top of each document or card lets you return to a parent level.
  • Back and forward buttons navigate through your viewing history.
  • Markdown files larger than 1 MB are not rendered online and instead provide a download option. Markdown files up to 1 MB can be edited online and are rendered again after saving.

Ask questions and view citations

When you ask a Waker a question, it automatically retrieves relevant information from its connected knowledge bases:
  • Answers include knowledge citations. Selecting a citation opens the Knowledge tab in the right panel and displays the Knowledge Card while keeping the knowledge tree visible.
  • From a Knowledge Card, you can follow related knowledge links and use the back and forward buttons to move through your viewing history.

Share and collaborate

  1. Add collaborators by entering their email addresses and pressing Enter to validate each one. Multiple addresses can be added at once.
  2. Assign View, Edit, or Manage permission.
Recipients can find the knowledge base under Shared with me on the management page.

Scheduled tasks

QoderWake supports scheduled tasks that keep knowledge up to date. Select the stopwatch icon in the lower-left corner to open the scheduled task list, where you can create, edit, delete, manually run, and review task history.
Task typeDescription
CompilationPeriodically compiles sources and generates the latest Knowledge Cards.
Knowledge checkPeriodically checks knowledge quality and identifies missing or incomplete content.
Source refreshPeriodically refreshes selected imported sources to retrieve their latest content.
Schedules can run at fixed intervals, hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly.

Use a knowledge base with a Waker

Each Waker can connect to one or more knowledge bases as dedicated knowledge sources. After connection, the Waker retrieves from those knowledge bases in conversations, workflows, and automated tasks, bringing accumulated team knowledge into daily development and collaboration.
