Creating Your First Agent


The first step in building a Knobase agent is selecting a name that reflects its purpose, audience, and personality. A well-chosen name helps users immediately understand what the agent does and builds trust and engagement from the start.



Naming Your Agent

The agent description is a short summary that sets expectations for users. It helps them understand the agent’s role, audience, and tone at a glance. A well-written description builds trust and ensures users know what kind of help they can expect.



 Writing a Clear Agent Description

Knobase supports multiple AI models, each optimized for different educational tasks. Choosing the right model ensures your agent performs effectively based on its role, audience, and content type.

 Choosing a Foundational AI Model

To ensure your Knobase agent provides accurate, personalized, and school-specific responses, you need to upload relevant documents. These files form the Knowledge Base that the agent uses to answer questions, give feedback, and support users with real context.




Uploading School-Specific Materials


Knobase agents can be customized to match the tone, vocabulary level, and visual style appropriate for different audiences—whether it’s young students, parents, or school staff. This ensures that every interaction feels natural, engaging, and age-appropriate.



Adapt Tone and Style

While the agent description is a short summary for users, the system prompt is a behind-the-scenes instruction that defines how the AI behaves. It’s the most important part of agent setup—guiding tone, scope, personality, and response style.

Write a Detailed  Prompt

Knobase allows educators to visually customize each AI agent to reflect the school’s branding, the agent’s role, and the intended audience. This personalization helps agents feel like a natural part of your school’s digital ecosystem and enhances user engagement.

Why It Matters

Audience Connection: Makes agents more approachable and relatable.
Functional Clarity: Helps users instantly recognize the agent’s purpose.

Visual Styling 

Model Selection & Switching

Once your AI agent is created, it’s essential to test its performance in realistic school-based situations. This ensures the agent is not only functional but also accurate, age-appropriate, and aligned with your school’s tone and expectations.


 Testing & Refining Agents


Once your agent is built and connected to your school’s documents, it’s time to simulate typical user interactions. This step helps you evaluate how well the agent performs in realistic scenarios—ensuring it delivers accurate, helpful, and context-aware responses.

Simulate Real-World Queries


Creating a Knobase agent is just the beginning. The platform is designed for ongoing refinement, allowing educators to continuously improve their agents as school needs, documents, and user feedback evolve.

 Continuous Improvement


Knobase allows you to selectively deploy agents to specific user groups, ensuring each agent serves its intended audience effectively. This targeted deployment improves clarity, security, and relevance, making sure users only interact with agents designed for their needs.

Deployment Settings & Access Control

AI Agent Marketplace

Knobase agents use Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) to ensure every response is grounded in real, school-specific content. Instead of relying on general knowledge or pre-trained data alone, RAG enables agents to search your uploaded documents in real time and generate answers based on what’s actually written in your curriculum guides, policies, lesson plans, and more.

Knowledge Retrieval (RAG)


The Knowledge Base is the foundation of every Knobase agent. It acts as a dynamic, school-specific content hub where educators can upload, organize, and manage documents that power AI responses. By connecting agents to curated folders of lesson plans, policies, calendars, and worksheets, schools ensure that every interaction is grounded in accurate, relevant, and up-to-date information.

This section helps educators understand how to structure and maintain their Knowledge Base effectively—so agents can deliver context-aware support across academic, administrative, and pastoral domains. Whether you're building a curriculum assistant or a virtual receptionist, the Knowledge Base ensures your AI agents speak with your school’s voice.

 Knowledge Base

The Knowledge Base is the heart of your Knobase agent’s intelligence. It’s where you upload the documents that agents use to generate accurate, context-aware responses. These materials—curriculum guides, policies, calendars, rubrics—are what make your agents truly personalized to your school.

Uploading & Organizing Documents

A well-organized folder structure in your Knowledge Base is essential for helping Knobase agents retrieve the right information quickly and accurately. It also makes it easier for educators to manage documents, update content, and assign relevant materials to different agents.



Folder Structure Best Practices

Once your documents are uploaded and organized in the Knowledge Base, the next step is to connect them to your AI agents. This enables Knobase’s Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) system to pull relevant information from your school’s materials when responding to user queries.
