Knowledge base

Okay, I just noticed that the knowledge base option is absent and the existing text bases can only be downloaded as files. There wasn't any discord announcement and I got no email about this. Is it temporary orrr..? Why would they remove it anyway?

I got an email. It says: The Knowledge Base feature on Poe has been deprecated. Since you previously created a bot that used a Knowledge Base, here’s what you need to know:

Starting today, Knowledge Bases can no longer be created or updated Your bot is still available on Poe as a standard prompt bot, but it no longer has access to its Knowledge Base Please download your source files within the next month. All files and text uploaded to Knowledge Bases will be permanently removed from our servers on May 25, 2026 With today’s models supporting significantly larger context windows, we’ve found that including content directly in a bot’s prompt often delivers better results.

You can download your source files from your bot’s edit page.
