Adding Knowledge to Your Project

Knowledge documents provide valuable reference information for your interviewers. These can be used to inform the interviewer's understanding of specific topics, products, or services being discussed during interviews.

Agent Interviews supports various file formats as knowledge sources:

  • Documents: PDF, DOCX, DOC, TXT, MD, RTF
  • Spreadsheets: XLSX, XLS, CSV
  • Presentations: PPT, PPTX
  • Images: JPG, PNG, BMP, GIF
  • Code files: JSON, PY, IPYNB, TSX, and more
  • Web content: HTML, HTM

Methods for Adding Knowledge​

There are three primary ways to add knowledge to your project:

1. File Upload​

The most direct method is uploading files from your computer:

  1. Navigate to the Knowledge section of your project
  2. Click "Add Knowledge" or the upload button
  3. Select the "Files" tab in the dialog
  4. Drag and drop files or click to browse your files
  5. Select the files you want to upload
  6. Click "Create" to begin the upload process

2. URL Import​

You can import content directly from web pages:

  1. Select the "URLs" tab in the Add Knowledge dialog
  2. Enter the URL you wish to import
  3. Click the "+" button or press Enter
  4. The system will validate the URL and create a markdown version of the content
  5. You can add multiple URLs before finalizing
  6. Click "Create" to import all valid URLs

3. Text/Markdown Input​

For quick notes or custom content:

  1. Select the "Text/Markdown" tab in the Add Knowledge dialog
  2. Optionally enter a document title
  3. Type or paste your content in the text area
  4. Click "Add Text" to create the document
  5. You can add multiple text documents before finalizing
  6. Click "Create" to save all your text documents

Using Knowledge in Interview Stages​

When creating interview stages, you can attach knowledge documents to specific stages. This allows the interviewer to reference relevant information during that part of the interview.

Important notes:

  • Only the first 3 pages of a document are used during an interview
  • If you need more content, consider splitting the document and using multiple interview stages
  • Each stage can have one reference document

Best Practices​

  • Keep documents focused and concise for better interviewer understanding
  • Use descriptive file names for easy identification
  • For web content, ensure the URLs are accessible and contain relevant information
  • When creating text documents, use clear titles that reflect the content
  • Consider breaking large documents into smaller, topic-specific pieces
