How knowledge works
Sources, retained statements and retrieval within project scope.
Documents & conversations
Sources & revisions
Relevant project context
Capture
Documents, notes and supported connected sources provide the material. Processing extracts knowledge that can be retrieved later. Upload acceptance and completed processing are separate states.
Retain
A retained statement represents a fact, decision, preference or another useful record. Its source helps explain where it came from. Revisions link a correction to the record it replaces.
Recall
A query retrieves relevant knowledge within the requested scope. The assistant uses that context to help answer. Review the retrieved evidence when accuracy matters; relevance and correctness are different properties.
