What is Knowledge?
Knowledge is a shared file library built into your Appy.AI workspace. It works like the folders you already use: you upload documents, organize them into folders, and your agents reference them automatically when they’re relevant to a task. Without Knowledge, every request starts from scratch. You attach the pricing sheet again, paste the product details again, explain the policy again. With Knowledge, your agents know what you’ve filed — and they use it.

How to use Knowledge

You can upload any document type — PDFs, Word files, spreadsheets, plain text. Common examples:
- Pricing sheets

You can rename, move, and delete folders at any time.
Editing a file
- Click any file in the Knowledge library to open it.
- Make your changes and click Save.
Asking Violet to save a file
If a useful document comes up mid-conversation, you can ask Violet to save it to the Knowledge library directly:“Violet, save this to Knowledge.”She’ll file it for you without interrupting the task.

Deleting a file
Click the file to open it, then click the delete icon. The file is removed from the library immediately. Agents will no longer reference it.What agents use Knowledge for
When an agent works on a task, it searches your Knowledge library for documents that are relevant. It pulls the reference it needs — a price list for a proposal, a policy doc for a support reply, a product sheet for a research brief — and uses it automatically. You don’t need to tell the agent which document to use. It finds the right one from what you’ve filed.Frequently asked questions
Can I control which agents access which documents?
Can I control which agents access which documents?
Not at a per-agent level. The entire Knowledge library is available to all agents in your workspace. Organize your library with folders to keep it clear, and only file documents you’re comfortable sharing across the whole team.
What happens when I update a file?
What happens when I update a file?
The moment you save an edit, every agent in your workspace references the new version. There’s no delay and no re-upload needed.
What file types are supported?
What file types are supported?
Most common document types are supported: PDF, DOCX, XLSX, TXT, CSV, and more. If a file type isn’t supported, Appy will let you know when you try to upload it.
Can agents write to Knowledge?
Can agents write to Knowledge?
No. Agents can read documents from the library but cannot add, edit, or delete them. Your library stays exactly as your team configured it.
What if I delete a document by mistake?
What if I delete a document by mistake?
Deleted files cannot be recovered from Knowledge. Keep a backup copy in your own storage if the document is critical.
Tips
- Use clear file names. Agents search by content and file name. A file called
pricing-q3-2026.pdfis easier to find thanfinal-v2-LAST.pdf. - Keep it current. The power of Knowledge is that agents always reference the latest version. Review your library when your pricing or products change.
- Organize from the start. It’s easier to maintain a tidy library than to reorganize a cluttered one.
