What is a Knowledge Base?
Knowledge Bases in Noxus are intelligent data repositories that enhance AI capabilities with domain-specific information. They process and store information in a way that makes it readily accessible for AI operations, maintaining context and relationships between different pieces of information.Unlike simple file storage, Knowledge Bases understand the meaning of content and can retrieve relevant information based on semantic similarity, not just keyword matching.
