Adding New Sources
The RAG knowledge base is designed to grow over time. Adding new knowledge requires no code changes:
- Place new PDF or DOCX files in the
RAG/Data/directory (organized by category subfolder). - Run the ingestion pipeline — the system extracts text, chunks it, generates embeddings, and indexes everything automatically.
- New chunks are tagged with matching knowledge concepts from the existing taxonomy.
- The next AI-generated story will incorporate evidence from the newly added documents.
This extensibility means that as new research is published or new platform safety guides are released, SisterShield’s knowledge base can be updated within minutes.
