Your first knowledge base in five steps.
This walkthrough takes you from a new account to a working, cited knowledge base you can chat with. Most people finish it in a few minutes with sources they already follow.
1Create your account
Sign up at keldura.ai with Google, GitHub, or an email address. Every account starts with a free daily credit allowance, so you can try the full workflow before deciding on a paid plan. No credit card is required to start.
2Add your first content
Click Add content in the sidebar. From there you can:
- Paste a link — a YouTube video, playlist, or channel gets transcribed automatically.
- Import many — bring in whole YouTube channels or playlists, Instagram profiles or reels, websites, batches of local files, or Google Drive documents in one run.
- Upload files — video, audio, PDFs (including scanned ones — Keldura runs OCR), Word documents, images, and plain text.
- Paste text — save a Markdown note directly into your Library.
- Record audio — capture and transcribe a recording in the browser.
Imports run in the background — a progress tray keeps you updated, and you can keep working while items process. See the import sources guide for details on every path.
3Organize the Library
Everything you add lands in your Library, organized into collections (folders). A collection is the unit Keldura works with: you chat with a collection, share a collection, and build bots on collections. During import you choose the destination collection; you can also move items later. When a collection shows Ready, its content is indexed and ready for questions.
4Ask cited questions
Open a collection and click Chat with Folder, or use the Chat page and pick collections as knowledge. Answers cite the source material — with timestamps for video and audio — so you can verify every claim against the original. Not sure what to ask? Suggest questions proposes starting points based on the collection's content. Save the analyses you repeat as Prompts and reuse them across collections.
5Keep it living — and share it
Knowledge bases go stale; Keldura's don't have to:
- Follow sources — connected channels, playlists, and websites can sync automatically so new content flows into your Library. Briefings summarize what's new with cited insights.
- Share — share a collection with teammates by link or email, or publish a read-only view. Export any collection as a ZIP of transcripts, summaries, and metadata.
- Publish a bot — define a bot over your collections and connect it to Telegram, embed it on your website, or expose it to AI agents through MCP and the developer API.
Where things live
- Home — your dashboard: recent activity, continue where you left off, and anything that needs attention.
- Briefings — recurring AI digests of the sources you follow.
- Library — all collections and files.
- Notes — Markdown notes you have saved.
- Prompts — reusable prompt templates.
- Chat — conversations over your collections.
- Bots & channels — bots, Telegram, website widget, and MCP.
