Overview
The Add Knowledge to Agent automation action lets you grow your AI agent’s knowledge base automatically. You can pass in content from a variety of sources — structured or unstructured — and Taskade will store it as searchable knowledge.
💡 Note: Visit Add Project to Agent Knowledge to learn how to automatically train your agents using dynamic project data.
You can pipe the result of a Scrape Webpage, Transcribe YouTube, or Search Web step directly into an agent's brain, and any future Ask Agent call will reason over it. This is how agents learn automatically from the world around them.
