Defining a knowledge base

A knowledge base is a central, organized place where a team keeps its documentation, answers, and institutional knowledge so anyone can find what they need.

Why teams need one

Without a knowledge base, answers live in people’s heads and scattered chats. A good one reduces repeated questions, speeds onboarding, and preserves knowledge through turnover.

Internal vs external

Internal knowledge bases serve the team; external ones serve customers. Both benefit from being searchable and current.

How AI changes the knowledge base

AI turns a knowledge base from something you browse into something you ask. With Wyatt, your real documents become the knowledge base and an assistant answers with citations.
