Knowledge Base Ingestion

Feed CrestBid your reference material so responses are grounded in your own content.

The knowledge base is what makes CrestBid's answers yours. Every document you add is indexed locally and used to ground generated responses, so drafts cite your real capabilities instead of generic boilerplate.

Supported content

  • Past proposals and winning bid responses
  • Capability statements, case studies, and CVs
  • Policies, certifications, and compliance documents
  • Product and service descriptions
  • PDF, Word, plain text, and Markdown files

How ingestion works

  1. 1Add files to a project's knowledge base.
  2. 2CrestBid extracts text, splits it into passages, and builds a local semantic index.
  3. 3At generation time, the most relevant passages are retrieved and used as grounding context.

Keeping it current

Add new material as it's produced and remove anything outdated. A clean, curated knowledge base produces sharper, more accurate responses than a large unfiltered one.

All indexing happens on your machine. No document content is sent to any third party when using a local model.
