Knowledge bases
Search relevant passages in your files.
Knowledge bases split file content into searchable chunks. Find relevant passages using meaning, keywords and file attributes for question answering, policy lookup and model context.
| Service | What it stores and finds |
|---|---|
| Files | Upload, store and download original files; obtain file IDs |
| Media | Organize assets, folders and tags, and find media such as images |
| Knowledge | Find relevant text passages with their source file and content |
A source file can belong to multiple knowledge bases. Removing it from a knowledge base does not delete the original. Deleting the original removes it from every knowledge base automatically, and it stops appearing in search results.
- Quickstart: upload, ingest and search with the official openai Python SDK.
- Concepts: processing states, chunks, search and restore.
- Limits and errors: capacity, formats and failures.
