The Data Sources area is where you connect the databases, vector stores, and file imports that power your chats, dashboards, and AI agents — and where you keep those connections healthy over time. Each source is a card showing its connection status, record count, and last sync.

Adding a source

Selecting + Add Source opens a picker grouped into:
  • Databases — PostgreSQL, MySQL, BigQuery, MongoDB
  • File Imports — CSV, Excel
  • Vector Stores — Pinecone, Weaviate, ChromaDB, Qdrant
Choosing a connector opens its connection-details form. Credentials are stored securely and are never shown back in plain text.

Reading a source card

  • Connection status — a coloured dot and label: connected (green), disconnected, error, or pending. A Disabled pill appears when paused.
  • Last sync — “Synced X ago”, or “Not synced” if it has never run.
  • Record count — how many records the source currently exposes.
  • Ownership badge — Owned, Shared, or External.
  • Pending Deletion — a trashed card turns amber and shows a live countdown.

Knowledge Bases

The Knowledge Bases tab surfaces a file browser (folders on the left, files on the right) where you can create new folders and upload files for use in retrieval-augmented generation.

Who can use it

  • Owners and Editors of a source can sync, test, configure, enable/disable, share, and move it to trash or restore it.
  • Viewers can open and read a source but cannot edit, reconfigure, or delete it.
  • Adding new sources is available to members who have permission to create resources within their department.
  • Org admins additionally see the Admin view toggle and Owner filter.
