The Knowledge page shows everything a room has decided, must follow and can cite: its decisions, rules, exceptions and documents, in one list. Answers in the chat and in connected AI apps draw on this knowledge, and every answer cites the records it used. Who can see this: every member of the room. Your organisation can hide decisions or documents from standard users. People with a responsibility in the room (owners, deciders and curators) still see them. See visibility.

The four kinds of record

Rooms form a tree. Records of the rooms above yours also apply in your room. They are called inherited records.

Open the Knowledge page

1

Open Knowledge

Select Knowledge in the sidebar. Below it you find one page per kind (Decisions, Documents, Rules, Exceptions), plus Import and Graph.
2

Pick the room

Choose the room in the room selector at the top. The list shows that room’s records.
The count bar at the top shows To decide (what waits for your decision), then the room’s numbers of Decisions, Documents, Rules and Exceptions. Select a number to open that kind’s page. Room owners and curators also see a setup card, for example “Engineering: 3 of 6 set up”. It links to the next missing step: A purpose, A rule, A decision, A document, Agent instructions or Nothing left to decide. Hide puts it away.

Find a record

The list shows the newest records first and loads more as you scroll. Its columns are Kind, Name, State, Owner, From and Updated. Select Name, State, Owner or Updated to sort.
  • Search matches a record’s key and title, and the text of decisions.
  • Kind shows All, or only Decisions, Documents, Rules or Exceptions.
  • State narrows by state, see below.
  • Owner shows the records of one person.
  • Include inherited (for example Include 5 inherited) adds the records of the rooms above. From names the room each comes from.
  • Clear filters resets everything.
People with a cross-room role, such as an auditor, also see Cross-room decisions beside the page title. It lists the decisions they may read in every room.

List or map

Where your account may see the room’s graph, Show as switches between List and Map. Map opens the Graph page, which draws the same filtered records and their links. See the Graph page.

Open a record

Select a row to open it. Back to returns to the list. Previous and Next step through the list you came from. An inherited record shows Inherited from and its room. You read it here and change it in its own room.

Relations between records

A relation says how two records hang together. The most common ones: Relations come from people who link records, from links inside imported files, and from dreaming, which proposes them. A proposed relation is drawn dashed and has no effect on answers until a person confirms it in the Inbox.

Create something new

Select Create at the top of the page. What it offers depends on the page and on your role:

Owners and validity dates

Most records name an owner: the person in the room who answers for the record. Records also say when they apply. Answers quote a document only between its Valid from and Valid until dates. A rule can show dates too, but it applies for as long as it is active. Every exception has an end date. When a record has run out but is still in use, Knowledge Health lists it for the room’s owners and curators.

How knowledge reaches answers

When someone asks a question in a room, Ainomos:
  1. Looks only at what the person may see: the room’s own knowledge and that of the rooms above it.
  2. Searches by meaning and by words. Exact terms, such as a decision key, a path or a legal article, count extra. A question that names a decision by its key always brings that decision in.
  3. Ranks what it found. Binding sources come first, and up to eight passages go to the model.
  4. Adds the rules that apply in the room and its accepted decisions.
  5. Lets the model answer. The answer cites each source with a number that leads back to the record.
Documents outside their validity dates are not quoted. Only accepted decisions count as binding: a draft that a question names is labelled as not binding. See reading answers.
