Knowledge base based on ICEberg CMS 5 combined with AI: An innovative approach to knowledge management in organisations

This article is a continuation and expansion of the article: How to effectively implement an advanced knowledge base using ICEberg CMS 5 integrated with AI

Effective knowledge management has become crucial for organisations seeking to remain competitive. Knowledge management applies both inside the organisation - sharing knowledge within the team - and outside the organisation - you can also share knowledge with stakeholders such as customers, partners, business environment institutions and many others. Imagine for yourself who such an audience is around your organisation.

ICEberg CMS 5 offers an advanced tool that combines the functionality of automatically importing PDF content, transforming it into a modern knowledge base, and integration with artificial intelligence (AI). In this article, we look at how this combination enables organisations to effectively manage content and improve the customer experience.

Automatic import of the knowledge base from PDF files

ICEberg CMS 5 introduces an innovative functionality for the automatic import of PDF files. This mechanism allows for:

1. Converting PDF files into viewable slide galleries:

   • Once a PDF file is uploaded to the system, the document is automatically divided into slides for convenient viewing by users.
   • The interface is reminiscent of SlideShare-type platforms, offering intuitive navigation (arrows, page numbers, ability to zoom in on content).

2. Text content extraction:

   • A built-in algorithm extracts text from a PDF file and saves it in a form friendly to search engine robots and AI tools.
   • The text can be organised according to a logical structure, e.g. division into paragraphs corresponding to individual slides.

3. Personalisation and SEO optimisation:

   • Content is automatically indexed, making the knowledge base easily accessible to search engines.
   • Each slide can be further enhanced with meta descriptions and keywords.

4. Accessibility for people with disabilities:

   • The system supports screen readers and allows the construction of a WCAG-compliant site, making the knowledge base more inclusive.

Updating the data involves re-importing the relevant files or selected slides to be replaced in the material. With mass actions, you can then go into the original publication and deactivate all slides, import new slides or deactivate a selected few slides, import only those few slides and put them in the right places. This second method can be useful in situations where you only annotate slides with additional content on your website - e.g. add additional slide descriptions, links, etc. in ICEberg CMS 5. However, you can also put this information on the imported slides and then it will be loaded into the appropriate fields automatically.

An example of the use of this module and these functions is the Presentations section on Krakweb.pl

AI-based chatbot integration

The second pillar of the solution can be the integration of the knowledge base with a chatbot, using artificial intelligence. This chatbot makes it possible to:

1. Providing precise answers:

   • The bot uses indexed content from the knowledge base as the sole source of information.
   • Responses are consistent with the organisation's current state of knowledge, eliminating the risk of providing incorrect data.

2. Contextual search:

   • AI analyses user queries, providing relevant answers based on knowledge base content.
   • The text search function allows users to find answers to questions in both document titles and content.

3. Cost optimisation:

   • The system reduces the cost of generating answers by limiting the chatbot's access to external sources of information.
   • Answers generated from an internal database are more efficient and cheaper to maintain.

4. Personalisation of the interface:

   • The user can view the content in slide form or download a PDF document, depending on their needs.

In the case of a site that is public, we can rely on the OpenAI bot indexing the site's content. Creating an open content base also helps with SEO - the content is indexed by search engine robots (primarily Google) and increases visibility - allowing you to reach Google search users. Allowing the OpenAI bot to index a site's content allows our content to appear in answers to questions posed to the ChatGPT tool.

However, some organisations do not want to make their knowledge base content publicly available - for example, by creating an intranet for their employees and/or partners. Then the Chatbot can be configured to provide answers based on content from the database - e.g. articles / PDFs / galleries entered / imported into ICEberg CMS 5 with a status of unpublished. This solution differs slightly in architecture and load (generates more tokens + chatbot requires more customisation, implementation is slightly more labour intensive), but allows for greater customisation to the needs of the organisation.
