The knowledge base is in beta and may change.
The knowledge base is where you tell Momentic what it can’t infer from the page alone: the words your team uses, the rules a specific agent should follow, and the multi-step flows that describe how your product works. Momentic retrieves the most relevant entries on every AI-assisted step and treats them as top-priority context, so the agent stays consistent instead of guessing. You manage it from the Knowledge section of the dashboard at app.momentic.ai/knowledge.

​
Knowledge types

Every item is one of three types. Pick the type that matches what you’re teaching.
  • Terminology defines a term your test or app uses so the agent resolves it the way your team means it. You provide a canonical term, a definition, and optional examples that ground how the term is used. Use this when a word is ambiguous, such as what “the selected tab” actually refers to in your UI.
  • Agent rule is a binding instruction that one agent should follow at runtime. You give it a title, choose the agent it applies to, and write the instruction. Only the selected agent receives the rule, so you can shape behavior precisely, such as how elements are located or how a failure is classified.
  • Flow is a known workflow with an expected outcome. You describe the intent (the user-level goal, like “log in”), the steps (one per line), and the success state (what should be true once the flow finishes). Flows give the agent a reliable map of how a journey through your product is supposed to go.
Definitions, instructions, and steps all support Markdown. Agents read these fields verbatim, so be precise.

​
Adding knowledge

  1. Open the Knowledge section and click Add knowledge.
  2. Choose a type. The form shows the fields relevant to that type.
  3. Fill in the content and, optionally, set a scope.
  4. Save. The item is visible immediately and becomes searchable within seconds once Momentic finishes indexing it.

​
Scope

By default, knowledge applies across your whole organization. You can narrow an item so it’s only retrieved in a more specific context:
  • Test scope limits the item to a single test.
  • Environment scope limits the item to a specific environment.
Leave a scope blank to keep it organization-wide. The detail view shows each item’s scope (Organization, Test, Environment, or App).

​
Suggestions

Momentic captures candidate knowledge from your sessions and collects it in the Suggestions tab for review. These are entries Momentic inferred about your product that aren’t part of your knowledge base yet.
  • Approve a suggestion to promote it into your organization’s knowledge base, where it starts informing agents.
  • Reject a suggestion to discard it.
The Organization tab shows knowledge that’s already in effect, and the Suggestions tab shows what’s waiting on your review. Each tab displays a count so you can see at a glance whether there’s anything to triage.

​
Enabling and disabling

Active knowledge can be turned on or off without deleting it:
  • Enabled: the item is live and eligible for retrieval.
  • Disabled: the item is kept but excluded from retrieval.
Use the toggle on an item to switch between the two. Items that are still pending review (or otherwise not yet active) must be approved or archived before they can be toggled. System knowledge authored by Momentic is managed for you, so it can’t be edited or disabled.

​
Trust and conflicts

Each item carries a trust score from 0 to 100 reflecting how authoritative it is. Manually authored knowledge is trusted more than auto-generated suggestions, and Momentic’s own system knowledge is trusted highest. When two entries conflict, the agent prefers the higher-trust entry. Agent rules are treated as binding instructions and are given extra weight.

​
How agents use knowledge

On each AI-assisted step, Momentic semantically retrieves the entries most relevant to what the agent is doing and injects them as top-priority context. If an entry directly addresses the task, the agent follows it instead of its own intuition. When the agent relies on an entry in its written reasoning or summaries, it cites the entry inline so you can trace which knowledge influenced a decision.

​
Versioning and usage

Editing an item records a new version, and the About tab keeps the full version history alongside who changed what and when. The same panel surfaces usage signals, such as how many times an item has been retrieved and when it was last used, so you can tell which knowledge is actually pulling its weight.
