Knowledge

Learn how to create and manage a Knowledge Base that teaches your Neuro agents about your business, industry, and preferences.

What is a Neuro Knowledge Base?

A Knowledge Base is a custom repository of information that informs how your Neuro agents work. Instead of using generic knowledge, your agents reference your Knowledge Base to understand your business, preferences, processes, expertise.

Think of a Knowledge Base as the “institutional libary” for your AI team. It contains everything your agents need to know to work effectively: your company values, industry expertise, best practices, standard operating procedures, brand guidelines, and customer information.

Why Build a Knowledge Base?

The Problem Without a Knowledge Base

Without a Knowledge Base, your agents:

• Don’t know your company’s specific processes
• Don’t understand your industry expertise
• Can’t maintain consistent brand voice
• Make generic recommendations
• Require detailed explanations for every task
• Miss context about your business

The Knowledge Base Solution

With a Knowledge Base, your agents:

✅ Understand your business — Know your market, products, and strategy
✅ Follow your processes — Execute work your way consistently
✅ Maintain your brand — Write and communicate like your company
✅ Provide relevant insights — Make recommendations based on your context
✅ Work independently — Need less explanation per task
✅ Improve over time — Learn from your feedback and updates

Knowledge Base Best Practices

1. Keep Information Current ✅

Update Schedule:

Strategic Information: Quarterly
- Business strategy changes
- Competitive landscape shifts
- Market dynamics updates

Operational Information: Monthly
- Process improvements
- Template updates
- Standard refinements

Product Information: As-needed
- New features
- Roadmap changes
- Pricing updates

Market & Research: Continuously
- New competitive moves
- Market trends
- Industry changes

2. Make Information Specific ✅

❌ Too Vague:
"We believe in customer success"
"Our product is best-in-class"
"We compete on quality"

✅ Specific:
"Customer success means 90% of customers achieve 
their stated ROI goal within 90 days. We measure 
this through quarterly business reviews and track 
against our NPS of 65+."

"Our product is best-in-class because:
- 40% faster implementation than Zapier
- 10x cheaper than UiPath
- 3x more powerful than Make
- Built for enterprise reliability"

"We compete on:
1. Speed to value (30-day implementation vs. industry 90-day)
2. Enterprise reliability (99.99% uptime SLA)
3. Customer support (4-hour response time)
4. Price/performance ratio (10x cheaper than competitors)"

3. Include Examples ✅

Why Examples Matter:

Without Examples:
"Our sales process focuses on understanding 
customer needs and demonstrating product fit."

With Examples:
"Our sales process:
1. Discovery call (30 min)
   Example: 'Tell me about your biggest operational bottleneck'
   
2. Product demo (45 min)
   Example: Show how customers automated invoice processing
   
3. Trial (1 week)
   Example: Customers typically process 1000+ documents
   
4. Close (2-4 weeks)
   Example: ROI presentation shows $200K+ annual savings"

4. Cross-Reference Documents ✅

Linking Strategy:

Document: "Sales Process"
Links to:
→ Messaging Framework (what to say)
→ Company Positioning (why we're different)
→ Competitive Intelligence (competitive talking points)
→ Customer Success Metrics (what success looks like)
→ Contract Templates (standard terms)

Document: "Customer Profiles"
Links to:
→ Sales Process (how to sell to them)
→ Use Cases (problems we solve)
→ Pricing Model (what they should pay)
→ Success Metrics (how we measure success)

5. Use Consistent Terminology ✅

Define & Use Consistently:

Term: "Enterprise Customer"
Definition: "Companies with 1000+ employees 
and $500M+ revenue"

Term: "Mid-Market Customer"
Definition: "Companies with 100-1000 employees 
and $20M-$500M revenue"

Term: "SMB Customer"
Definition: "Companies with <100 employees 
and <$20M revenue"

Use these exact definitions consistently throughout 
your Knowledge Base and agent communications.

6. Protect Sensitive Information ✅

Information Classification:

Public:
- Brand guidelines
- Product positioning
- Customer case studies
- Public pricing

Internal Only:
- Pricing strategies
- Customer contracts
- Financial data
- Competitive strategies

Confidential:
- Customer data
- Board materials
- Strategic plans
- HR information

Implementation:
- Mark sensitivity level on each document
- Control access by document type
- Ensure agents only use appropriate information
- Audit sensitive information access

7. Version Control ✅

Track Document Changes:

Document Header:
- Title: [Document Title]
- Version: [1.0, 2.0, etc.]
- Last Updated: [Date]
- Updated By: [Name]
- Status: [Draft, Final, Archived]

Change Log:
- Version 1.0: Initial document
- Version 1.1: Added competitive pricing data
- Version 2.0: Updated sales process
- Version 2.1: Added new use case examples

Benefits:
- Track what changed
- Know who made changes
- Understand when information became outdated
- Revert to previous versions if needed

8. Get Regular Feedback ✅

Feedback Process:

Quarterly Review:
- Ask teams if information is accurate
- Identify gaps in documentation
- Get feedback on usefulness
- Prioritize updates

From Agents:
- Track which documents agents use most
- Identify documents agents struggle with
- Get suggestions for new topics
- Monitor accuracy of agent citations

From Teams:
- Sales feedback on messaging
- Product feedback on features
- Customer success feedback on processes
- Engineering feedback on technical accuracy

FAQ: Knowledge Base

How much information should I include?

Start with core information (depends on your Plan), then grow based on usage. Quality over quantity.

How often should I update documents?

You choose how often should it be updated

Strategic info: Quarterly
Operational info: Monthly
Market/trend info: Continuously

How do agents access the Knowledge Base?

Automatically. When agents process tasks, they reference relevant Knowledge Base documents without needing to be told.

Can I integrate Knowledge Base with existing tools?

Yes. Connect to Google Drive, Notion, Confluence, or other systems. Keep content synchronized.

What format should documents be in?

Any format works: PDF, Word, text, markdown. Plain text works best for easy searching.

How do I know if my Knowledge Base is working?

Monitor agent output quality, customer satisfaction, and accuracy. Track which documents agents use most.

Can I remove documents?

Yes, but archive rather than delete. You may need them for historical reference.

How do I prevent outdated information?

Set update schedules. Mark documents with creation/update dates. Have a regular review process.
