How embedded images are used in content
When you add content to a knowledge vault, embedded images are processed alongside the text. This allows projects and agents to retrieve and analyze visual information, such as diagrams, charts, and screenshots, without requiring you to upload image files separately.
This applies to images embedded in:
- Knowledge articles
- Blog posts
- Landing pages
- Website pages
- Uploaded documents (e.g., PDF)
When content is published or updated, the knowledge vault automatically extracts qualifying images, generates descriptions, and indexes them with the text. At query time, projects and agents can use these images and descriptions to understand context and respond more accurately.
Ask questions about visual content in your sources, such as diagrams or data shown in a chart.
- Image limits for pages, posts, and articles: up to 10 images per asset, with a maximum size of 500 KB per image.
- Document support: PDF, Word (.docx), and PowerPoint (.pptx), up to 50 MB per file.
- Content scope: only images in the body content are processed (not headers, footers, or decorative elements).
- HTML limitations: images must be embedded inline (e.g., base64). External image URLs aren’t supported.
Manage knowledge vault permissions
Control access to individual knowledge vaults by assigning permissions to specific users and teams. This helps limit access to only the vaults relevant to each user while allowing designated users to maintain vault content and settings.
