Knowledge Base Chatbot (Dify)
Answers questions about your own documents in a chat, using only what the documents say
What it does
Knowledge Retrieval: A Smart Chatbot is an official Dify template. You first upload your documents to a Dify knowledge base and connect it to the template; when someone asks a question, it finds the matching passages and an AI model writes the answer from them. You can publish it as a chat web page. It suits teams or individuals who want a question-and-answer helper for manuals, policies or notes.
Dify handles the document storage and search for you, so a document chatbot needs no database or code.
