How it works
A website source reads the public pages of one host, starting from a start URL. Each page becomes an internal article in the knowledge base you choose.
Enter a name, an https start URL, the target knowledge base and the interval, plus a sitemap if you like. The preview shows robots.txt, sitemaps and candidates without indexing anything.
Up to 2000 pages and link depth 6, plus path prefixes, exclude patterns and CSS areas that stay out of the article. For pages that need JavaScript, choose Auto or Full.
Crawl now starts the first run. Indexed pages shows the status and reason for every URL. Then you assign the knowledge base to your agent.
Capabilities
Nobody has to retype what is on your website. What changes there comes along with the next run.
From the start URL the crawler reads public HTTPS pages, optionally via a sitemap and further entry points. Everything stays on the same host, with or without www.
Every 6 or 12 hours, daily, weekly, every 14 days or monthly. Crawl now starts a run right away.
Up to 2000 pages per source and link depth 6. Path prefixes and exclude patterns limit the URLs, and URLs with a query string or list paths such as /tag can be skipped.
Fast reads HTML only, Full renders in a browser, Auto switches by itself when a page stays empty. A click selector opens FAQ accordions, for example.
Each page becomes an internal article in the chosen knowledge base, with the page URL as source and the detected language. It does not appear in the help center portal.
noindex and robots.txt are respected. If an indexed page is blocked later, the crawler withdraws its article.
A content hash detects changed pages, unchanged pages are not rewritten. Pages that disappear are withdrawn after two runs without a hit.
Indexed pages shows status, reason, render mode, HTTP code and last fetch for every URL. Plus a sync history per source.
Comparison
The answers are already on your website. What matters is how they reach the agent and stay current.

Control and privacy

Frequently asked questions
