Rovo agent knowledge base from PDFs: Google Drive/OneDrive vs Confluence approach

[Petr Sýkora]

Hi,

I want to build a Rovo agent in Rovo Studio that answers based on a specific set of documents. This works well when the documents are in Confluence, because I can select a specific space or a parent page as the knowledge base.

Now we have another use case: a knowledge base made up of multiple PDFs of various sizes. I wanted to use the Google Drive and OneDrive connectors for this. However, in this case I can’t select a dedicated folder as the source for the Rovo agent’s knowledge base. Is there a way to do that?

As an alternative, I’m considering creating an app that extracts text from the PDFs and stores it in Confluence as pages. That would also (hopefully) work for PDFs larger than 10 MB (which seems to be the connector limit).

What would you recommend? Has anyone worked on a similar use case?

I tackled this by embedding the PDF in a confluence page and using that page as the single source of knowledge for the agent. It cut out the need to do something complex with pulling the information from the PDF into confluence and worked rather well.
