Documents change daily and answers must stay current. What should you automate?
Why A is the answer
Synchronization of the knowledge base data source
Keep the index in step with the source data, so that retrieval stays fresh.
In detail
- Sync the data source, so the index follows the documents.
- Alert when a sync fails.
Use case
An illustrative scenario, not a real incident.
Price sheets change daily, and the assistant must not quote old ones. A scheduled sync keeps the index current.

Key point: Automate data source sync.
Why the other options are wrong
- B. A larger chunk overlap in the existing index
- Overlap does not add new documents.
- C. A manual upload of each changed document by the support team
- Manual uploads are error prone.
- D. A full rebuild of the model each night, using the latest documents
- A model rebuild is far too much.
