Documents
Individual files uploaded to datasets. Supported formats include PDF, Word, text, and markdown files.
Stella Search
Enable AI-powered search on datasets to make them available to Stella AI agents.
Connected Sources
Import documents automatically from external sources like Intercom Help Centers.

How AI Search Works
When you enable “Searchable in Stella” on a dataset:- Document Processing: Each document is automatically chunked into semantic segments
- Embedding Generation: Segments are converted to vector embeddings using AI
- Indexing: Embeddings are stored for fast similarity search
- Search: Stella can find relevant content by meaning, not just keywords
Processing happens automatically in the background. Large documents may take a few minutes to become searchable.
