1. Is this request related to a challenge you're experiencing? Tell me about your story.

I have a workflow that scrapes a remote data source and uses HTTP / Code nodes to:

  • Create or Update a KB
  • Add / Update metadata definitions to KB
  • Add / Update documents (and metadata) using a predefined embedding / retrieval config

I would love to have a node that can interact with the KB not only for retrieval, and take advantage of the already existing UI elements to specify embedding / retrieval / indexing configuration

For the node to work, you would probably need to first implement the possibility to set the retrieval / embedding settings during KB creation (empty KB)

The document operations would use the UI to specify the indexing config (General, QA, Parent Child, etc...)

2. Additional context or comments

This would allow

  • Creation of workflows that can help manage the KB in a programmatic way
  • Ease the creation of chatflows / Agentic Bots that can learn from the user, storing data into the KB

3. Can you help us with this feature?

  • I am interested in contributing to this feature.

A user has started the creation of a custom plugin node that interacts with the KB, but I don't think you can get access to the UI elements from plugin nodes and get the same quality of a native node: https://github.com/stvlynn/better-knowledge-base/tree/main

This is a trial version of the existing knowledge base. https://github.com/stvlynn @stvlynn is also a member of us. :)
