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. Your current plan and credit pools appear under Settings > Account > Plan & Usage; use the credits guide for the stable rules and the live price list for current action and model costs.
2Add your first content
Click Add content in the sidebar. From there you can:
- Paste a video link — add one recognized YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, X, or Facebook video for transcription. Playlists, profiles, and web pages use other paths.
- Import workspace — bring in whole YouTube channels or playlists, websites, batches of local files, or Google Drive selections. The Instagram provider accepts an individual post, Reel, or IGTV URL, not a whole profile.
- 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 — generally available monitoring covers YouTube channels, YouTube playlists, and website roots. Choose Briefings only, or Library + Briefings when you want new material imported too. 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 folders, prompts, and model, then connect it to Telegram or a Website widget.
- Connect software — MCP and the Developer API give authorized tools direct access to your account Library; they do not connect through a saved Bot.
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 — reusable Bots plus Telegram and Website widget Channels; the group also links to account-level MCP Library access.
