Ingesting Content

Add URLs, raw text, and files to your Panacea knowledge base using the Ingest feature.

3 min read450 words

Ingest is how you feed content into Panacea. Any URL, block of text, or document you ingest is processed by the AI and transformed into one or more wiki entries.

Opening Ingest

Click Ingest in the left sidebar. You'll see a simple form with two input modes.

Ingesting a URL

  1. Select the URL tab.
  2. Paste a publicly accessible URL — a help article, documentation page, pricing page, blog post, or any page with useful text.
  3. (Optional) Set a category to automatically tag the entries created from this URL.
  4. Click Compile.

Panacea fetches the page, strips navigation and ads, extracts the main content, and queues it for AI processing. Once processed, the content appears as one or more entries in your Wiki.

Supported URLs: Any publicly accessible webpage. Password-protected pages and JavaScript-heavy SPAs that require login are not supported. For private docs, paste the text directly instead.

Ingesting raw text

  1. Select the Text tab.
  2. Paste your content directly into the editor. You can use Markdown or plain text.
  3. Set a path prefix — this becomes the base path for entries created from this content (e.g. docs/api).
  4. Click Compile.

Use this for:

  • Internal policies and SOPs
  • Product specs not published publicly
  • FAQ documents copied from a shared drive
  • Email templates or canned responses

What happens after ingest

  1. Extraction — The system parses the content and splits it into logical chunks.
  2. AI processing — Each chunk is analysed, summarised, and indexed for semantic search.
  3. Wiki entry created — A new entry (or set of entries) appears in your Wiki with an auto-generated title and path.
  4. Review (if enabled) — If your plan includes AI-proposed updates, the new entries may first land in the Review queue for approval.

Ingest history

Every ingest job is logged with a timestamp, source URL or text snippet, status (queued / processing / completed / failed), and the number of entries created. View the history in the Health section under agent run logs.

Tips

  • Ingest specific pages, not entire domains — Crawling a full site creates too many entries that dilute relevance. Ingest your most important pages individually.
  • Re-ingest when content changes — Panacea doesn't automatically detect page updates. If your docs change, re-ingest the URL to update the wiki entry.
  • Use Sources for automation — If you have a lot of content that changes regularly, connect a Source instead of manually ingesting each time.
