This is useful when you've updated your knowledge sources and want to ensure that the agents are using the most recent information.
## Agent-Specific Knowledge
While knowledge can be provided at the crew level using `crew.knowledge_sources`, individual agents can also have their own knowledge sources using the `knowledge_sources` parameter:
```python Code
from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew
from crewai.knowledge.source.string_knowledge_source import StringKnowledgeSource
# Create agent-specific knowledge about a product
product_specs = StringKnowledgeSource(
content="""The XPS 13 laptop features:
- 13.4-inch 4K display
- Intel Core i7 processor
- 16GB RAM
- 512GB SSD storage
- 12-hour battery life""",
metadata={"category": "product_specs"}
)
# Create a support agent with product knowledge
support_agent = Agent(
role="Technical Support Specialist",
goal="Provide accurate product information and support.",
backstory="You are an expert on our laptop products and specifications.",
knowledge_sources=[product_specs] # Agent-specific knowledge
)
# Create a task that requires product knowledge
support_task = Task(
description="Answer this customer question: {question}",
agent=support_agent
)
# Create and run the crew
crew = Crew(
agents=[support_agent],
tasks=[support_task]
)
# Get answer about the laptop's specifications
result = crew.kickoff(
inputs={"question": "What is the storage capacity of the XPS 13?"}
)
```
<Info>
Benefits of agent-specific knowledge:
- Give agents specialized information for their roles
- Maintain separation of concerns between agents
- Combine with crew-level knowledge for layered information access

## Custom Knowledge Sources
CrewAI allows you to create custom knowledge sources for any type of data by extending the `BaseKnowledgeSource` class. Let's create a practical example that fetches and processes space news articles.
