Understanding Knowledge Preferences
When you start a SmartChat™, you’ll notice three options at the top of the chat input bar. These allow you to control the knowledge sources used to answer your questions:
-
Collection Only: SmartChat™ will exclusively use the assets in your current Collection to generate answers. This is ideal when you want responses based solely on your specific documents.
-
Dynamic: SmartChat™ will primarily use your Collection assets but may supplement answers with general knowledge when beneficial. It’s great for comprehensive responses that leverage both your specific content and broader context.
-
Public Knowledge: In this mode, SmartChat™ relies entirely on its general knowledge base, without referencing your Collection assets. This is useful when you want to explore topics beyond the scope of your uploaded documents.
You can switch between these options at any time during your chat to tailor the responses to your current needs.
Want to dive deeper into how these knowledge preferences work and how they can enhance your SmartChat™ experience? Check out our detailed guide on knowledge sources.
