- Website sitemap: you can use your website sitemap too!
- Files: various documents in common formats like PDF and DOCX are supported.
- Youtube videos
- Plain text
Additional information
Website URL
You can provide a link to a website and we’ll crawl it for you for all content. This means that we’ll find all links on the URL provided by you, so not only your main page is added as a source but also all related pages - automagically. Please make sure the pages are publicly accessible (eg. open in private browsing mode). Pages that require login cannot be read by us.
Sitemap
Sitemaps (eg. like this: https://chatwith.tools/sitemap.xml) can be used for easier source management. This way you can be sure all the pages on your website will be read by our system.
Files
You can upload files in a variety of formats:
- PDF:
.pdf
- Word documents:
.doc, .docx, .odt
- Powerpoint presentations:
.ppt, .pptx
- Sheets:
.csv, .xls, .xlsx
- Plain, structured & rich text:
.txt, .md, .rtf
PDF - special note
Make sure that the text in your PDF can be selected. If the text can’t be selected, it cannot be read. You can use any standard PDF viewers (eg. MacOS Preview, Chrome browser, Adobe Acrobat etc) to verify this. If you upload a PDF with text that is not selectable, it will be rejected with an error or show very little training characters.
Youtube videos
You can use links to Youtube videos that support transcriptions. Please keep in mind that only English transcriptions will be fetched. Whole playlists or channels are not supported yet.
Dynamic data
You can also connect your chatbot to 5000 apps or your API using OpenAPI specification and let it access up-to-date information (eg. search a database). Learn more here.
