title: “Knowledge bases” description: “Add approved sources that give authorized Lantern work reliable brand context.” Knowledge bases give agents approved internal sources to retrieve when public web evidence is not enough.

​
Supported sources

Add webpages or upload PDF, DOCX, and TXT files.

​
Processing states

  • Pending: waiting to begin.
  • Processing: content is being extracted and prepared.
  • Ready: available for retrieval.
  • Failed: processing did not complete.

​
How retrieval works

Lantern divides sources into searchable passages and retrieves relevant context for an authorized agent request. A knowledge base does not force every passage into every request.

​
Good source hygiene

Use current product documentation, approved claims, brand guidance, research, and case studies. Remove obsolete sources and avoid uploading credentials or secrets.
