Why teams need the Felo LiveDoc skill for knowledge base retrieval

Specs, PDFs, URLs, and internal docs stay fragmented unless there is a retrieval layer designed to hold onto them across sessions.

Important docs stay scattered

Policies, specs, PDFs, and URLs live across too many places with no shared retrieval layer.

Session memory is fragile

A good chat history still is not a stable knowledge base for repeatable work.

Keywords miss intent

Teams need semantic retrieval that finds the right passage, not just matching words.

How the Felo LiveDoc skill improves knowledge base retrieval

felo-livedoc turns scattered files and links into a persistent semantic knowledge base, so answers, memos, and support work can stay anchored in trusted material.

  • Knowledge base management: Create, list, update, and delete named LiveDocs for teams, projects, or topics.
  • Multiple content types: Add text, URLs, PDFs, and uploaded files and have them indexed automatically.
  • Semantic retrieval: Ask natural-language questions and get back the most relevant passages, not just keyword hits.
  • Routing before retrieval: Identify the best-matching resources first, then retrieve from only those sources for faster results.
