Image indexing

Kapa can index images from your knowledge sources so they can be found during retrieval and used in answers. See Images in answers for how images show up across the Prebuilt Agents.

How it works

During ingestion, Kapa detects the images in your sources, filters out decorative ones such as icons and logos, and indexes the ones that carry useful information, such as screenshots and diagrams. Indexed images are matched during retrieval like any other content.

Image indexing requires no configuration. Images are picked up automatically during ingestion and kept in sync with the regular refreshes of your sources.
