About knowledge bases

Organization owners can create knowledge bases, bringing together Markdown documentation across one or more repositories. Organization members can then specify that knowledge base as the context for {% data variables.copilot.copilot_chat_dotcom_short %}, {% data variables.copilot.copilot_chat_short %} in {% data variables.product.prodname_vscode %}, and {% data variables.copilot.copilot_chat_short %} in {% data variables.product.prodname_vs %}.

When you ask a question in {% data variables.copilot.copilot_chat_short %} with a knowledge base selected, {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} will search the knowledge base for relevant information and synthesize a response.
