Knowledge is a core part of Squad that controls the context your AI product agent uses to generate insights, strategies, and recommendations. The more relevant knowledge you provide, the more accurate and tailored Squad's outputs become.

<Info>
  Knowledge is accessible from the sidebar under **Context → Knowledge** and is used across all Squad features including Chat, Insights, Strategy, and Roadmap.
</Info>

## Knowledge panel

The Knowledge panel has three tabs:

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Knowledge">
    Manage the information Squad uses for context. Knowledge is organized into four categories:

    * **Integrations** — Data automatically synced from connected tools (Notion, app stores, analytics platforms, etc.)
    * **Files** — Upload documents like pitch decks, research reports, or spreadsheets
    * **Links** — Add URLs to websites, articles, or online resources for Squad to reference
    * **Text** — Add free-form text notes, business context, or product descriptions
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Goals">
    View and manage your strategic goals. Goals set here feed into the Strategy Map and help Squad prioritize opportunities and solutions that align with your objectives.

## Adding knowledge

### From integrations

Connect tools like [Notion](/integrations/notion), app stores, or analytics platforms to automatically sync relevant data into your knowledge base. Navigate to **Integrations** in the sidebar to set up connections.

### Uploading files

Click the **Files** tab in the Knowledge panel and upload documents directly. Supported formats include PDFs, documents, and spreadsheets. Squad will extract and index the content for use in AI responses.

### Adding links

Paste URLs into the **Links** tab to have Squad reference web content. This is useful for competitor analysis, market research articles, or your own website content.

### Adding text

Use the **Text** tab to add free-form context like:

* Product descriptions and positioning
* Target audience definitions
* Business model details
* Competitive advantages
* Internal notes and decisions

<Tip>
  Start with the most important context — your product description, target audience, and key differentiators. This gives Squad the foundation it needs to provide relevant recommendations.
