Hi there! 😊 It sounds like you're having a frustrating time with your knowledge base files not displaying in the assistant configuration. Here are some common issues and troubleshooting steps you can try: 1. **File Format and Size**: - Make sure the files you're uploading are in supported formats like Markdown, PDF, Plain Text, or Microsoft Word (.doc and .docx). Unsupported formats can prevent files from displaying. - Check that the file size does not exceed any limits set by the platform. 2. **Interface Display Problems**: - Sometimes, the UI might glitch. Try refreshing the dashboard or clearing your browser cache. Switching to a different browser can also help. 3. **Knowledge Base Configuration**: - Ensure that the
fileIds
are correctly added to
assistant.model.knowledgeBase.fileIds
. Double-check that the API calls to link the knowledge base are formatted correctly. 4. **Backend and API Issues**: - If you've migrated from a deprecated service, ensure that all knowledge base files are properly attached using the API. Sometimes, manual attachment is necessary if automatic uploads fail. 5. **Prompt and Configuration Errors**: - Verify your assistant's configuration settings, especially the
searchPlan
and
createPlan
properties. Adjust parameters like
scoreThreshold
and
searchType
for better accuracy. If you've tried all these steps and the issue persists, it might be helpful to document your attempts and reach out for support with detailed information about your configuration and any error messages you encounter.

The KB UI interface has been temporarily removed because our old KB provider Canonical has discontinued its services, and we have transitioned to Trieve.. The dashboard interface will be updated to include the new provider by the start of next week. In the meantime, you can utilize the API to access the new provider’s KB functionality. Here are few links to setup KB:
