Library, collection and knowledge base: the difference

Understand how the library, collections and an assistant's knowledge base fit together when you add course materials.

Written by Romain Morvant

When you want an assistant to use your course materials, Raison splits that work into three layers. The library holds your files. A collection groups the files you mean to use together. The knowledge base is what that assistant actually reads when it answers.

The library

Open Library in the sidebar. You see the files, pages and notes you have added. A file can sit here before it belongs to any collection. Storage alone doesn't change answers.

A collection

Open Knowledge bases, then Collections. A collection is a named group you assemble on purpose, for example one course or one handbook. After Raison has processed it, you can link it to one or more assistants, or start a new assistant from it.

An assistant's knowledge base

On an assistant, open Knowledge base. That list is the collections linked to this assistant. It is not a third place to store files. The same collection can sit on several assistants. Unlinking it from one assistant doesn't delete it.

How they fit together

A resource is a single item, such as a PDF or a page. The library holds those items. A collection groups the ones you want to use together. An assistant's knowledge base is the collections linked to that assistant.

Organization admins can also set default collections for every new assistant.
