Learn how to upload documents, FAQs, and website data so your Pod AI phone agent can answer customer questions accurately and naturally.

Train Your AI Phone Agent on Your Knowledge Base

Make your Pod agent smarter by giving it access to your company’s knowledge base β€” so it can answer real customer questions with accurate information.

Why Train with a Knowledge Base?

Out of the box, your agent knows how to hold a conversation β€” but it won’t know the details of your business. By adding your knowledge base, you can:

  • Answer FAQs automatically β†’ shipping, pricing, support policies.
  • Handle product-specific questions β†’ features, setup instructions, compatibility.
  • Support your team 24/7 β†’ callers get consistent, correct answers every time.

This turns your agent from a generic assistant into a true extension of your company.

What You Can Add

Your Pod agent can be trained on multiple sources:

  • Documents β†’ Upload PDFs, Word docs, or plain text.
  • FAQs β†’ Paste in common customer questions and answers.
  • Your Website β†’ Connect your public site so Pod can pull in product info and support pages.

The more high-quality content you add, the more effective your agent becomes.

How to Train Your Agent

1. Go to Knowledge Base tab

From your agent dashboard, open the Knowledge Base tab to manage your data sources.

2. Upload or connect data

Choose how you want to train your agent: upload docs, paste FAQs, or connect your website.

3. Save and test

Once added, test your agent in the Playground. Ask questions your customers would normally ask and verify the answers.
