Component description
How the Knowledge Source Widget component works
Document Widget Component
The Document Widget is a flow component designed to present knowledge documents within your AI workflow in a clear and accessible widget format. This component acts as a bridge between your raw document data and the visual or text-based outputs shown to users or downstream processes.
What Does This Component Do?
This component takes in one or more knowledge documents as input and displays them in the output as a formatted widget. It is especially useful for surfacing relevant source information, context, or supporting materials alongside AI-generated results, such as answers or recommendations.
Inputs
| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Knowledge Documents | Document | Yes | The document(s) you want to display in the widget. These can be any text-based knowledge sources. |
| Title | String | No | Optional title for the widget block. Default is “Related Sources”. |
- Knowledge Documents: You must provide at least one document to display. This enables the widget to show original sources, references, or supporting content.
- Title: You can optionally customize the heading shown above the documents in the widget, helping clarify their purpose or context.
Outputs
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Message | Message | A message object containing the rendered document(s) in widget format. |
The output is a Message object, which can be used in subsequent workflow steps to display the knowledge documents or further process them.
Why Use the Document Widget?
- Transparency & Traceability: Show users the original sources or supporting documents behind AI decisions.
- Enhanced User Experience: Present information in a structured, visually distinct widget rather than raw text.
- Contextual Support: Easily supplement AI outputs with background materials, references, or additional reading.
- Customizable: The title can be tailored for different use cases, such as “References”, “Knowledge Base”, or “Related Documents”.
Typical Use Cases
- Displaying relevant documents alongside answers in a chatbot or Q&A system.
- Presenting source material for fact-checking or compliance purposes.
- Providing background reading or further information in educational applications.
In summary: The Document Widget is a simple yet powerful component for integrating and displaying knowledge documents within your AI workflows, making outputs more transparent, informative, and user-friendly.
