Add sources to Knowledge

Sources are how Knowledge stays current. When you share a URL, upload a doc, run a slash command, or trigger a CI job, that source becomes part of your team's Knowledge. The Agent files it and propagates anything notable.

There are 6 ways to add a source. The first 3 are inside the Buron app. The next 3 use Buron's agentic interfaces.

Paste a URL in chat

When you find a useful article, transcript, or report, paste the URL into the Agent.

1. Open a chat with the Agent.
2. Paste the URL and ask the Agent to ingest it. For example: "Ingest this for me."
3. The Agent fetches the page, files it, and tells you what it learned.

A single ingest typically touches 10 to 15 pages. The Agent updates any existing pages the source affects, so you don't need to direct it to specific places.

Upload a doc

For internal materials like positioning briefs or strategy docs, upload the file directly.

1. Open the Knowledge tab in your workspace.
2. Drag the file into the editor or click Upload.
3. The Agent reads the file, files it, and propagates the content.

Describe your product to the Agent

You can also add knowledge through conversation.

1. Open a chat with the Agent.
2. Tell the Agent about your product, your audience, your priorities, or your strategy.
3. The Agent captures what you said and updates the relevant pages.

This is the fastest way to onboard the Agent. The first conversations you have will write the most pages.

From your AI editor

The Buron CLI installs slash commands in your AI editor (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex). The agent in your editor can write to Knowledge directly:

• /launch captures a code change as a snapshot in Knowledge.
• /setup-google-ads-tracking writes a tracking spec into Knowledge.

To set this up, check out Use Buron in your AI editor.

From CI

For things that should always reflect what's live, run the Buron CLI from CI. Common patterns include snapshotting your changelog when a build succeeds, mirroring a docs folder on push to main, or publishing reports on a schedule.

From any AI tool via MCP

The Buron MCP server gives any MCP-compatible AI tool access to your team's Knowledge. Connect Claude.ai, ChatGPT, or any other client, and the agent can read and write directly.

What gets cross-referenced

When you add a source, the Agent looks for:

• Companies mentioned, both existing competitors and new ones
• Products
• People
• Concepts and frameworks
• Specific stats or claims

For each one, the Agent either adds to an existing page or creates a new one. Every connection it makes adds another link to the page you started from.
