Knowledge base

The Sources page is where you manage what your assistant can answer from. Sources are fetched, indexed, and kept in the background — you add them once and Yamidoo does the rest. For the concepts behind this, see Answering from your content.

Open a site and go to Sources → Add a source, then pick a type:

Type What it does
Website crawl Follows internal links from a start URL. Set max pages and depth.
Sitemap Scans an XML sitemap so you can pick which sections to include.
URL list Indexes a specific list of pages, one per line.
Documents Upload files (PDF, Word, PowerPoint, HTML, text, CSV).
Text Paste plain text or Markdown for the assistant to use.
Q&A Hand-written question/answer pairs the assistant treats as authoritative.

When starting a crawl, use Check for sitemap — if one is found, you can switch to indexing it directly for cleaner coverage.

Each source in Your sources shows a status:

Status Meaning
Ready Indexed and answering.
Processing Currently indexing.
Pending Queued, waiting to start.
Error Something failed — the message explains what.

You’ll also see how many pages/documents were indexed and when it last synced. Expand a source to see the individual pages it pulled in. Use Refresh to re-index on demand, or set an auto-refresh interval to keep it current. Q&A pairs are edited together in one place and take effect on save.

Below your sources, Test your agent lets you chat with the assistant exactly as a visitor would. Test conversations aren’t saved and don’t count toward your plan — a safe way to check answers after adding or editing sources.
