About knowledge bases
Organization owners can create knowledge bases, bringing together Markdown documentation across one or more repositories. Organization members can then specify that knowledge base as the context for {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_chat_dotcom_short %}.
When you ask a question in {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_chat_dotcom_short %}, {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot %} will search the knowledge base for relevant information and synthesize a response. For more information on how to use knowledge bases in {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_chat_dotcom_short %}, see "Asking a question about a knowledge base."
Creating a knowledge base
You can create a knowledge base from a single repository or a selection of repositories. You can create a knowledge base using public, private, and/or internal repositories.
Knowledge bases you create will be accessible by all organization members with a {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_enterprise %} subscription. When an organization member uses a knowledge base as context in {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_chat_dotcom_short %}, the response will only use data from repositories that the organization member has read access to.
