# Adding Knowledge to Your Agent
> Learn how to add and manage knowledge documents for your AI agents in UserVox. Knowledge documents help your agent access specific information during conversations.
## Overview
Knowledge documents allow you to upload PDF files containing product documentation, policies, FAQs, or any other information that your AI agent should reference during conversations. This helps your agent provide accurate, context-aware responses based on your business's specific knowledge base.

To manage knowledge documents for your agents:
1. Navigate to **Account Settings** from your dashboard.
2. In the Settings sidebar, click on **Knowledge**.
This will take you to the Knowledge management interface where you can view, add, update, and delete knowledge documents.

## Best Practices

* **Regular Updates:** Keep your knowledge documents up to date with the latest product information, policies, or procedures.
* **Logical Categorization:** Use Topics and Subtopics to create a logical hierarchy for your knowledge base.
* **File Size:** While there's no strict limit, keep PDF files reasonably sized for faster processing and retrieval.
