Knowledge Nodes

Knowledge Nodes

A knowledge node is a provider-owned service that makes a specific body of expertise retrievable by AI agents.

What It Contains

• Curated source material or expert-authored notes.
• Embeddings and retrieval indexes.
• Metadata describing scope, provenance, and quality.
• A query endpoint with access controls.
• Optional pricing and rating integration.

2. Review and approve structured notes.
3. Build local embeddings.
4. Test retrieval quality.
5. Publish endpoint metadata to discovery.
6. Monitor usage, ratings, and update cadence.
