Build your AI's knowledge base

The Knowledge tab (Receptionist → AI Voice → Knowledge) is a searchable library your AI looks things up in during a call. Enter your website in the banner and click Import: FrontDesk reads up to 8 pages and turns them into entries, usually in under a minute; Re-import replaces the previous website entries and never touches entries you added. Click Add to write your own: a title, a category (General, Services, Insurance, Billing, Policies, Pre-visit, Post-visit, Directions, Forms, Providers or Other) and the answer, written the way it should be said aloud. Each entry has a switch to take it out of use without deleting it. The library holds up to 200 entries and 250,000 characters. When a caller asks something, the AI searches it and uses the few closest matches, so short, focused entries work best.

The Knowledge tab (Receptionist → AI Voice → Knowledge) is where your AI looks things up during a call. When a caller asks something like "Where do I park?" or "What's your cancellation policy?", the AI searches this library and answers from the closest matches.

Knowledge tab vs. the Voice tab box

  • Anything else it should know (Voice tab, What it knows card) is one free-text box, up to 8,000 characters, added to every call. Good for a few short, always-relevant facts. See Train your AI on your FAQs.
  • The Knowledge tab is a searchable library. On each question the AI pulls only the few entries that match best, so it stays accurate as the library grows.

Your hours, services and accepted insurance are already known to the AI from their own settings; you don't need entries for them.

Import your website

  1. Enter your site's address in the banner at the top of the tab (it's filled in if your practice already has a website saved).
  2. Click Import.

FrontDesk reads up to 8 pages of your site and summarizes the content into entries. It usually takes under a minute ("Reading your website…"), and a message then says how many entries came from how many pages. Review them and switch off anything you don't want the AI to use.

After the first import, the banner shows your site, how many entries were imported and when. Re-import replaces the previous website entries with fresh ones, and Change points the import at a different address. Entries you added yourself are never touched by an import.

Add entries yourself

Click Add next to the search box and fill in:

  • Title: the topic, for example "Parking" or "New patient paperwork".
  • Category: General, Services, Insurance, Billing, Policies, Pre-visit, Post-visit, Directions, Forms, Providers or Other. Entries are grouped by category on the page.
  • Content: the answer. Write it the way the AI should say it out loud, in short plain sentences.

Click Save. Entries you create show an Added by you badge.

Manage your entries

  • Search what the AI knows… filters the list by title and content.
  • The switch on each entry takes it out of use without deleting it; switched-off entries are ignored on calls, and each category shows how many are off.
  • Click an entry to edit it; Delete (with a confirmation) removes it.
  • Click a category heading to collapse or expand it.

Limits

The meter above the list shows Entries (up to 200) and Total size (up to 250,000 characters). A single entry holds up to 3,000 characters; paste something longer and it's split into several focused entries automatically. At the entry limit, Add tells you to delete some entries first.

If the page says some entries look like duplicates, trim them: near-identical entries crowd out the right answer.

Insurance

The Accepted insurance card on this tab tells the AI which plans you take. See Set your accepted insurance.

Keep it current

Update the knowledge base whenever a policy, price, provider or procedure changes, or re-import after you update your website. Then place a test call and ask the question to confirm the answer.

Frequently asked questions

How is this different from the Anything else it should know box?
That box on the Voice tab (What it knows card) is free text added to every call, up to 8,000 characters. The Knowledge tab is a searchable library: on each question the AI looks up only the few entries that match best, so it scales to many more answers. Use the box for a handful of always-relevant facts and the Knowledge tab for everything else.
What does importing my website do?
It reads up to 8 pages of your site and summarizes them into entries, usually in under a minute; you can keep working while it runs. Re-import replaces the previous website entries and never touches the ones you added yourself. The address is saved to your practice so it is filled in next time.
Does the AI read entries word for word?
It uses them as source material and speaks naturally. Write each entry the way you would want it said out loud, in short plain sentences.
Is there a limit?
Yes: 200 entries and 250,000 characters in total, shown on the meter above the list. A single entry holds up to 3,000 characters; if you paste something longer, FrontDesk splits it into several focused entries for you.
It says some entries look like duplicates.
Near-identical entries, common after a website import, compete for the few entries the AI reads on each question. Switch off or delete the extras so it picks the right answer faster.
Is the knowledge base shared between locations?
No. Each location has its own. Switch location at the top of the page to edit another location's entries.
