What can the AI train on?

The four source types, and what each is good for.

Chattering answers only from content you give it. There are four source types.

Website

Give it a URL and it crawls the pages it can reach, splitting each into passages. Best for public docs, marketing pages and existing help centres.

Pages behind a login cannot be crawled — paste that content as text instead.

Text

Paste anything: an internal policy, a pricing explanation, a support macro you already use. Best for knowledge that lives in someone's head or in a document rather than on a page.

Q&A

One question, one exact answer. Use this when the wording of the answer matters — refund policy, security posture, anything with a phrase you need said precisely.

Q&A pairs are the strongest way to steer a specific answer.

File

Upload a plain-text file. PDF and Word are not supported — the uploader says so rather than accepting a file it cannot read. Copy the text out and paste it as a text source.

Your own help centre

Articles you publish in Chattering's help centre can be synced back into the agent's knowledge in one click, from AI agents → Content → Help articles. Writing an article therefore improves the AI at the same time.

Need more help? Browse all articles or ask the assistant in the chat — it answers from these docs and can connect you with the team.
