The knowledge base chatbot that reads the live source.

A knowledge base chatbot answers customers from your documentation instead of a script. Outlearn's reads Helpjuice, Zendesk, Confluence, Google Drive, SharePoint, Slack and a crawl of your website, twenty systems in all, keeps them synced, and shows the article behind every answer.

Free plan, no card. Nothing migrated, nothing re-uploaded. Last updated 7 September 2026.

Measured, not promised

Half of real conversations end on the docs alone

The connector count is from the product. The rest are production numbers with the denominator attached, from the AI support benchmark.

How it works

An AI knowledge base chatbot that connects, syncs, cites and scopes

01

Connect what you already maintain

Help centre, wiki, drive, ticket history, team chat. Twenty systems read in place, no export and no migration. Add uploaded files, a website crawl or a typed snippet for the answers that live nowhere yet.

02

It keeps reading

Auto-sync monitors connected sources and pulls in updates as they happen. Need it now? Three dots, Resync: the agent keeps answering from the old content until the new content lands.

03

Answers with the article attached

It searches every active source at once, writes the reply from the most relevant content, and shows a Sources chip the reader can open. Not a paraphrase of a copy someone uploaded in March.

04

Internal stays internal

Every source and snippet is Public or Internal. A public visitor never receives an internal answer, even when it is the best match. The same agent serves your team the internal one.

Try it

A chatbot that reads documentation wherever it lives

Pick the place an answer lives. The reply changes, the agent and the chip under it do not.

Where does the answer live?

Eight kinds of source, one agent. It searches every active source at once, writes the reply from the most relevant content, and attaches the article it used.

Knowledge in

Twenty connectors, three manual imports, one agent

Connect a source once and it is read in place. The docs' advice: quality beats quantity, so connect the accurate sources and leave the stale ones off.

Every source is one row. Turn it off and the agent stops answering from it; resync it and the agent keeps answering from the old content until the new content lands.

For the question the docs never covered, or the one the agent keeps getting wrong.

Auto-sync covers Helpjuice, Confluence, KnowledgeOwl, Helpdocs, Help Scout, Google Drive, Dropbox, Box, OneDrive, Freshworks, Intercom, Zendesk, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Google Chat and Gmail. Uploaded files and website crawls are one-time imports you re-upload or re-crawl. Set up Sources before anything else: an agent with no content cannot answer anything.

The difference

Most knowledge base chatbots read a copy

A typical knowledge base chatbot

Outlearn

You export the help centre and upload it. Then upload it again next month.

Connects to the live source and keeps reading it. Edit the article on Tuesday, that is Tuesday's answer.

One knowledge base, and only the knowledge base.

The help centre, the wiki, the drive, the closed tickets, the Slack thread, the website and a typed snippet, searched together.

An answer, and you take its word for it.

An answer with the article attached, so the reader and your team can check it in one tap.

Everything you connect is visible to everyone who asks.

Public or Internal per source; the same agent answers visitors from the public docs and your team from the internal ones.

Priced per seat, or per resolution.

Credits for the AI's work. No seats, free plan to start, 14-day trial on paid plans.

Pricing, for the record: credits for the AI's work, never per seat, never per resolution. Free $0 with 100 credits, Starter $99/month with 2,000 credits, Growth $199/month with 4,500 credits, Scale $599/month with 15,000 credits. 14-day trial on paid plans, no card. Full detail on the pricing page. When the docs run out, the agent hands off to a person with the transcript rather than guessing.

Connect one source, ask it the question your team answers most, and open the chip under the reply.

Your help centre URL or one connector, the Preview button. A few minutes on the free plan, no card.

The questions teams ask about knowledge base chatbots

What is a knowledge base chatbot?

A chatbot that answers customer questions from your existing documentation, such as a help centre, a wiki or a set of policy documents, instead of following a script you build by hand.

Outlearn's version reads twenty connected systems, uploaded files, crawled web pages and typed snippets, searches all of them at once, and shows the article behind every answer.

Which knowledge bases and documents can it read?

Helpjuice, Help Scout, Helpdocs, KnowledgeOwl and Confluence for documentation; Zendesk, Intercom, Freshworks and Salesforce for tickets and records; Slack, Microsoft Teams, Google Chat and Gmail for team knowledge; Google Drive, SharePoint, OneDrive, Dropbox, Box and GitHub for files and code. Beyond the connectors: uploaded PDF, DOCX, CSV, XLSX, TXT, MD and HTML files, any publicly accessible web page, and snippets written directly in the dashboard.

How does it stay up to date when the documentation changes?

Auto-sync monitors connected sources for changes and pulls in updates as they happen; Helpjuice, Confluence, KnowledgeOwl, Helpdocs, Help Scout, Google Drive, Dropbox, Box, OneDrive, Freshworks, Intercom, Zendesk, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Google Chat and Gmail stay in sync on their own. Uploaded files and website crawls are one-time imports you re-upload or re-crawl. You can also trigger a resync from the three-dot menu on any source: the agent keeps using the existing content while it runs, then deleted content is removed and new content added.

Does it show where an answer came from?

Yes.

Every reply carries a Sources chip the reader can open to see the article, page or file the answer was written from. It is the difference between trusting the chatbot and checking it.

Can it answer from internal documentation without exposing it to customers?

Yes.

Each source and snippet is marked Public, for anyone including unauthenticated visitors on your website or chat widget, or Internal, for authenticated team members and users verified by your system. An internal source never appears in a conversation with a public visitor, even when it is the most relevant answer, so one agent can serve both audiences.

What if a question is not in the knowledge base?

Write a snippet: a short answer typed in the dashboard, Public or Internal, no integration needed.

The docs recommend them for frequent questions the knowledge base does not cover, quick answers that do not warrant a full article, temporary content, and questions the agent keeps getting wrong. The analytics also list the week's content gaps, so you know which snippet to write next.

How is it priced, and how long does setup take?

Credits for the AI's work, never per seat and never per resolution.

The free plan needs no card, and every paid plan has a 14-day trial. Setup is your website URL or one connected source; the docs' advice is to set up Sources before anything else, because an agent with no content cannot answer anything.
