Prepare source data

Overview

Initialize an object storage (S3 Bucket) to hold original documents (PDF, Word, Text). This acts as the “Source of Truth” that the Knowledge Base will access to read, analyze, and synchronize knowledge for the AI. You can store knowledge related to your field to use in creating your own personal assistant or Chatbot.
