Import an AWS knowledge base

Learn how to connect an AWS knowledge base for use with Retool AI.

Retool supports using an AWS knowledge base from which to retrieve vector embeddings. Once configured, you can use the AWS knowledge base as an alternative to Retool Vectors.

Prerequisites​

To import an AWS knowledge base for use with Retool AI, you need:

  • The knowledge base name.
  • The knowledge base ID.

Refer to the AWS knowledge base documentation to learn more about creating a knowledge base and obtaining these credentials.

Add the AWS knowledge base to Retool​

To import the AWS knowledge base:

  1. Sign in to Retool and navigate to the Resources tab, then select Retool Vectors.
  2. Click Create new and select Import from AWS Knowledge Base.
  3. Provide the knowledge base name and ID.

Once configured, the knowledge base appears in the list of vectors. You can then select the knowledge base from an AI action in which you want to provide vector data.

Retool does not directly import any data from the knowledge base. When you select the knowledge base, Retool communicates directly with the knowledge base which functions in the same way as Retool Vectors to provide additional context for the AI model.
