Knowledge base and help center
Publish a help center your AI agent answers from
Write help articles in Chatsy, publish them as a public help center on your own domain, and import the same articles into your AI agent. Customers who read find the article; customers who ask in chat get an answer that cites it. You update one article and both stay current. Included from the Hobby plan at $40 a month.

What it does
Knowledge base in Chatsy
Articles and categories
Each article has a title, summary, category and URL slug. Categories can be nested.
Draft, publish, archive
Drafts stay private, published articles go live, archived ones are hidden but kept for reference.
Images and video
A Markdown-friendly editor with image uploads up to 10 MB and video embeds.
Your own domain
Serve the help center at help.yourcompany.com with a CNAME, or a root domain with an A record.
Search and feedback
Keyword search on every page, and a “Was this article helpful?” question at the end of each article.
The same articles in chat
Import articles into an agent. Once a public agent has them, the help center offers “Ask our assistant”.
- 01

Start with the ten questions your team answers most. Save drafts until they are reviewed.
- 03
Make it public and add a domain
Switch on Public help center, then add your domain and the DNS record Chatsy shows you.
- 04
Import the articles into your agent
On the agent's Knowledge page, choose Import help articles.
Plans
Knowledge bases on each plan
Each knowledge base is one help center. The Free plan has no help center, but its agent can still learn from your existing site. See pricing for every limit.
| Plan | Help center | Knowledge bases | Agent training storage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free ($0/mo) | 5 MB | ||
| Hobby ($40/mo) | 1 | 40 MB | |
| Standard ($150/mo) | 2 | 2 GB | |
| Pro ($500/mo) | 5 | 2 GB | |
| Enterprise (quote) | 10 | 10 GB |
Where it stops
What the help center does not do
- Help-center search matches keywords in titles, summaries and article text. It does not understand paraphrased questions; the chat agent does.
- Articles are public or unpublished. There are no sign-in-only or customer-segment articles.
- Chatsy cannot import articles from another help-center tool. Copy them in, or add the old site to an agent as a web source.
- The help center is in the language you write it in. There is no built-in translation or per-language versions.
- Search engines index the help center on a custom domain, so connect one if you want articles in search results.
Not a fit if
- You need an internal wiki with permissions per team or document.
- You publish documentation in several languages with linked translations.
- You need versioned developer docs with an API reference.
- You want a help center on the Free plan: it starts on Hobby.
