# Using Knowledge in CrewAI
## What is Knowledge?
Knowledge in CrewAI is a powerful system that allows AI agents to access and utilize external information sources during their tasks.

## Quick Start
## Supported Knowledge Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
| :--------------------------- | :---------------------------------- | :------- | :---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `sources` | **List[BaseKnowledgeSource]** | Yes | List of knowledge sources that provide content to be stored and queried. Can include PDF, CSV, Excel, JSON, text files, or string content. |
| `collection_name` | **str** | No | Name of the collection where the knowledge will be stored. Used to identify different sets of knowledge. Defaults to "knowledge" if not provided. |
| `storage` | **Optional[KnowledgeStorage]** | No | Custom storage configuration for managing how the knowledge is stored and retrieved. If not provided, a default storage will be created. |
## Quickstart Example
<Tip>
For file-Based Knowledge Sources, make sure to place your files in a `knowledge` directory at the root of your project.
Also, use relative paths from the `knowledge` directory when creating the source.
</Tip>

## More Examples
Here are examples of how to use different types of knowledge sources:
### Text File Knowledge Source
```python
from crewai.knowledge.source import CrewDoclingSource
# Create a text file knowledge source
text_source = CrewDoclingSource(
file_paths=["document.txt", "another.txt"]
)
# Create knowledge with text file source
knowledge = Knowledge(
collection_name="text_knowledge",
sources=[text_source]
)
```
### PDF Knowledge Source
```python
from crewai.knowledge.source import PDFKnowledgeSource
# Create a PDF knowledge source
pdf_source = PDFKnowledgeSource(
file_paths=["document.pdf", "another.pdf"]
)
# Create knowledge with PDF source
knowledge = Knowledge(
collection_name="pdf_knowledge",
sources=[pdf_source]
)
```
### CSV Knowledge Source
```python
from crewai.knowledge.source import CSVKnowledgeSource
# Create a CSV knowledge source
csv_source = CSVKnowledgeSource(
file_paths=["data.csv"]
)
# Create knowledge with CSV source
knowledge = Knowledge(
collection_name="csv_knowledge",
sources=[csv_source]
)
```
### Excel Knowledge Source
```python
from crewai.knowledge.source import ExcelKnowledgeSource
# Create an Excel knowledge source
excel_source = ExcelKnowledgeSource(
file_paths=["spreadsheet.xlsx"]
)
# Create knowledge with Excel source
knowledge = Knowledge(
collection_name="excel_knowledge",
sources=[excel_source]
)
```
### JSON Knowledge Source
```python
from crewai.knowledge.source import JSONKnowledgeSource
# Create a JSON knowledge source
json_source = JSONKnowledgeSource(
file_paths=["data.json"]
)
# Create knowledge with JSON source
knowledge = Knowledge(
collection_name="json_knowledge",
sources=[json_source]
)
```
## Knowledge Configuration
### Chunking Configuration
Control how content is split for processing by setting the chunk size and overlap.
Knowledge sources automatically chunk content for better processing.
You can configure chunking behavior in your knowledge sources:
```python Code
knowledge_source = StringKnowledgeSource(
content="Long content...",
chunk_size=4000, # Characters per chunk (default)
chunk_overlap=200 # Overlap between chunks (default)
```python
from crewai.knowledge.source import StringKnowledgeSource
source = StringKnowledgeSource(
content="Your content here",
chunk_size=4000, # Maximum size of each chunk (default: 4000)
chunk_overlap=200 # Overlap between chunks (default: 200)
)
```
## Embedder Configuration
The chunking configuration helps in:
- Breaking down large documents into manageable pieces
- Maintaining context through chunk overlap
- Optimizing retrieval accuracy
You can also configure the embedder for the knowledge store. This is useful if you want to use a different embedder for the knowledge store than the one used for the agents.
### Embeddings Configuration
```python Code
...
You can also configure the embedder for the knowledge store.
This is useful if you want to use a different embedder for the knowledge store than the one used for the agents.
The `embedder` parameter supports various embedding model providers that include:
- `openai`: OpenAI's embedding models
- `google`: Google's text embedding models
- `azure`: Azure OpenAI embeddings
- `ollama`: Local embeddings with Ollama
- `vertexai`: Google Cloud VertexAI embeddings
- `cohere`: Cohere's embedding models
- `bedrock`: AWS Bedrock embeddings
- `huggingface`: Hugging Face models
- `watson`: IBM Watson embeddings
Here's an example of how to configure the embedder for the knowledge store using Google's `text-embedding-004` model:
<CodeGroup>
```python Example
from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew, Process, LLM
from crewai.knowledge.source.string_knowledge_source import StringKnowledgeSource
import os
# Get the GEMINI API key
GEMINI_API_KEY = os.environ.get("GEMINI_API_KEY")
# Create a knowledge source
content = "Users name is John. He is 30 years old and lives in San Francisco."
string_source = StringKnowledgeSource(
content="Users name is John. He is 30 years old and lives in San Francisco.",
content=content,
)
# Create an LLM with a temperature of 0 to ensure deterministic outputs
gemini_llm = LLM(
model="gemini/gemini-1.5-pro-002",
api_key=GEMINI_API_KEY,
temperature=0,
)
# Create an agent with the knowledge store
agent = Agent(
role="About User",
goal="You know everything about the user.",
backstory="""You are a master at understanding people and their preferences.""",
verbose=True,
allow_delegation=False,
llm=gemini_llm,
)
task = Task(
description="Answer the following questions about the user: {question}",

},
"provider": "google",
"config": {
"model": "models/text-embedding-004",
"api_key": GEMINI_API_KEY,
}
}
)
```
result = crew.kickoff(inputs={"question": "What city does John live in and how old is he?"})
```
```text Output
# Agent: About User
## Task: Answer the following questions about the user: What city does John live in and how old is he?
# Agent: About User
## Final Answer:
John is 30 years old and lives in San Francisco.
```
</CodeGroup>
## Clearing Knowledge
If you need to clear the knowledge stored in CrewAI, you can use the `crewai reset-memories` command with the `--knowledge` option.

<Steps>
<Step title="Install CrewAI and Portkey">
```bash
pip install -qU crewai portkey-ai
```
</Step>
<Step title="Configure the LLM Client">
To build CrewAI Agents with Portkey, you'll need two keys:
- **Portkey API Key**: Sign up on the [Portkey app](https://app.portkey.ai/?utm_source=crewai&utm_medium=crewai&utm_campaign=crewai) and copy your API key
- **Virtual Key**: Virtual Keys securely manage your LLM API keys in one place. Store your LLM provider API keys securely in Portkey's vault
