# Knowledge base AI template

## Template overview

This template uses our latest [Knowledge base AI](https://docs.chatlayer.ai/navigation/knowledge-base-ai) feature to generate answers based on your own documentation.

{% hint style="warning" %}
You can use the Knowledge base AI for free if you ask it under 50 questions per month. If you would like to use more than that, please [contact us](https://forms.office.com/pages/responsepage.aspx?id=ropROyGJe0qEl2GddWziDpBKj7if3UFHrttkAY_OzkZURUM1Wk4yRFZHM1pJRlJXWjFBWDg1VE0wSS4u).
{% endhint %}

## How to customize this template

To customize this template:

1. [Add your content ](https://docs.chatlayer.ai/bot-answers/knowledge-base-ai/set-up-your-faq-flow-using-a-generative-knowledge-base-ai#add-content)under the **Knowledge Base AI** tab.
2. Test your bot by asking anything.
3. You're good to go! Every time you'll ask a question, the bot will trigger the **Not Understood** block which will then scrape your knowledge base to generate an answer.

## Block: Source router

The Source router is a Condition block that checks if the source of the answer was a document or a URL. If the source was a URL, the response will be given together with a link to the source. If the source was a document, the response wouldn't give a link with it.&#x20;
