Introducing Knowledge, the single place in Wobby for organizational knowledge.

Does your company have a lot of internal slang? Do you work in an industry with very domain-specific language? Are you using non-standard metrics? Now, Wobby agents can easily learn domain-specific language and organizational knowledge to provide more accurate, context-aware analysis.

What Knowledge includes:

  • Company-specific definitions: Teach agents what "ARPA" means in your organization, or that "People team" refers to HR

  • Pre-approved SQL templates: Define how key metrics should be calculated (like revenue per region or customer churn rate) so agents always use the right formulas

  • Industry terminology: Help agents understand specialized terms unique to your business, like "paritair comité"

Think of Knowledge as an internal onboarding manual for your AI agents. Instead of generic responses, your agents now speak your language and understand your business context. This means more accurate insights, consistent calculations across teams, and agents that truly understand what you're asking for.

Knowledge is shared across your entire organization, so every agent benefits from the collective understanding – and it gets smarter over time as your team adds more context.
