Documentation
Learn how to find answers, explore a collection and manage your research portal, and how to run and extend CorpusKit.
Getting started
- Getting started
What the research portal is, how to choose a portal and find your way around.
- How this works
Where the content comes from, what happens to each document, how a question is answered and what the portal checks before it shows you an answer.
Finding answers
- Search: a cited answer, or just the results
Search answers by default - a short cited answer over the matching documents. Results only turns the answer off.
- Ask
Ask questions conversationally, keep sessions, and run deep research.
- Trust, citations and confidence
How to read the confidence signals, citations and the evidence table.
- Watch a search
Save a search or a question and be told when the corpus has something new for it.
Exploring the corpus
- Explore
The home surface - suggested questions, topic rows and a way in.
- Library
Browse, filter and page through the whole corpus.
- Reading a document and chatting with it
The document view, its viewer, and asking questions of a single document.
- The knowledge map
A visual map of the corpus - an entity graph of what it is about, and a concept map of how its themes overlap.
Working with the portal
- Tools
Connect MCP clients to the portal's research through the knowledge box connector.
- Generate
Turn a topic into a briefing, comparison, timeline, FAQ or pros and cons, with sources.
- Assessment
Build a knowledge check on any area of the corpus and test yourself.
- Investigations
Accumulate evidence around a research question over time.
Administration
- Connecting a knowledge box and adding content
Connect a knowledge box, then add, ingest and sync content into it.
- Taxonomy and enrichments
Shape the topic taxonomy, the knowledge graph and per-document enrichments.
- About this documentation
How the Help section works and how it stays separate from research.
Developers
- CorpusKit architecture
How CorpusKit is built: tenants as data, retrieval behind one interface, provisioning as a product feature, and the API, front end and deployment pipeline.
- Hosting CorpusKit
Run a CorpusKit deployment: upgrades, credential encryption, the operator credential, portal lifecycle and limits, sign-in handoff, host aliases and search engines.
- Developing on Progress Agentic RAG
The credential model, working call shapes and architecture for building a research portal on Progress Agentic RAG, from the CorpusKit project.

- Release notes
What changed in each CorpusKit release, and what to check before upgrading.
