Create a Dataset
Creating datasets requires Admin access.
- Navigate to Knowledge Base from the main menu
- Click Add Dataset
-
Enter the dataset details:
- Name: A unique name for the dataset (required, max 100 characters)
- Description: Optional details about the dataset’s purpose
-
Configure settings:
- Searchable in Stella: Toggle on to enable AI-powered search
- Click Save
Edit a Dataset
- Find the dataset you want to edit
- Click the Settings (gear) icon on the dataset card
-
Update the dataset properties:
- Change the name or description
- Toggle Stella searchability
- Connect or disconnect external sources
- Click Save to apply changes
Enable Stella Search
When “Searchable in Stella” is enabled:- All documents in the dataset are indexed for semantic search
- Stella AI agents can query the dataset when answering questions
- Results are ranked by relevance, not just keyword matches
- Edit the dataset settings
- Toggle Searchable in Stella on
- Save changes
Connect External Sources
Datasets can automatically import documents from external sources: Currently Supported:- Webpage — enter a website URL and Statisfy crawls the site (visits its pages and copies their content) into the dataset
- Google Drive — sync specific Drive folder or file URLs into the dataset. See the Google Drive integration guide for supported URL formats and account-level options
- Intercom — import articles from your Intercom Help Centers
- Edit the dataset settings
- Click Connect Source
- Select the source type:
- Webpage: enter the URL of the site you want to import
- Google Drive: add one or more Google Drive folder or file URLs; each URL is synced into the dataset. You can also point the source at an account-level custom field that contains Google Drive URLs, so each account syncs its own content
- Intercom: choose the Help Center to sync
- Save to start the import
The Google Drive and Intercom options require the corresponding integration to be connected first. If a source appears disabled, connect it under Integrations and try again.
- Content from connected sources is refreshed automatically every day, so your dataset stays in sync without manual action
- To pull in changes right away, click the refresh icon on the connected source card in the dataset settings, or trigger a refresh from the dataset’s detail page — you’ll see a “Refresh triggered” confirmation
Delete a Dataset
- Find the dataset you want to delete
- Click the three-dot menu on the dataset card
- Select Delete
- Confirm the deletion
- Datasets assigned to specific AI agents cannot be deleted
- You must first remove the agent assignment before deleting
Dataset Best Practices
Organize by topic or use case
Organize by topic or use case
Create separate datasets for different knowledge domains:
- Product documentation
- Support FAQs
- Onboarding materials
- Internal processes
Use descriptive names
Use descriptive names
Choose names that clearly indicate the dataset’s contents:
- “Product Documentation” instead of “Docs”
- “Customer Onboarding Guide” instead of “Guide”
