Overview

Seirily transforms messy documentation into organized, searchable knowledge bases. This guide will walk you through creating your first knowledge base in minutes.

Step 1: Create a Knowledge Base

1. Navigate to your dashboard
2. Click the "Create Knowledge Base" button
3. Enter your knowledge base details:
   • Name: Give your knowledge base a descriptive name
   • Description: Add context about what it contains
   • Visibility: Choose public or private

Step 2: Configure Your First Crawl

Enter the URL you want to crawl and configure these settings:

• Starting URL: The homepage or main documentation page
• Max Pages: How many pages to crawl (start with 10-20 for testing)
• Respect Robots.txt: Keep enabled unless you own the site

# Example URL
https://docs.example.com

Step 3: Start Crawling

Click "Start Crawl" and Seirily will:

1. Fetch pages from your target URL
2. Extract clean content from each page
3. Generate intelligent article summaries
4. Organize everything into searchable chunks

What Happens Next?

Once your crawl completes (you'll receive an email notification):

• Browse AI-generated articles in the sidebar
• Search your knowledge base instantly
• Share via custom domain (Pro plan)
• Export articles as markdown

Tips for Better Results

• Start with smaller crawls (10-20 pages) to test
• Use specific starting URLs for focused content
• Enable AI article generation for automatic documentation
• Review and refine articles after the first crawl

Troubleshooting

Crawl failed? Check that:

• The URL is publicly accessible
• The site allows crawling (robots.txt)
• You haven't hit your plan's page limit
