About Knowledge Base / FAQ

Knowledge Base / FAQ is an enterprise-grade knowledge system for teams to author rich articles, attach images/videos/files, tag them for easy discovery, and localize content by locale. Users get instant answers via hybrid search: classic full-text (FTS) plus semantic vector retrieval with embeddings.

Editors benefit from autosave, clean Markdown/HTML authoring, tag chips, and attachment management. Ops can choose the embedding model and enable a nightly drift job that re-embeds older content as models improve—keeping search results fresh and accurate.

The app is workspace-native, so your data lives with your workspace, behind Velaxe RBAC and audit logs.
