# Is it necessary to specially prepare or reformat the existing knowledge base for the AI?

*Updated: 20.07.2026, 10:46 UTC*


There is no need to specially reformat or rewrite the existing knowledge base manually. The Binom AI platform is designed to utilize your existing data in its original form.

**Key points regarding data preparation:**

- **Use of ready-made files:** You can simply upload instructions, regulations, and catalogs in standard formats (PDF, DOC, DOCX, TXT, PNG).
- **Role of the Tutor:** Binom Tutor independently conducts interviews, analyzes your materials, and structures them into a prioritized vector knowledge base.
- **Price lists:** For products, CSV files work best (following a template with columns like id, title, price, etc.), as well as ready-made Google Merchant or RSS feeds, which require no manual editing.
- **Resolving contradictions:** If your documents contain outdated data, you do not need to rewrite them. Simply creating a Knowledge Card (Cards) with up-to-date information is sufficient - it holds the highest priority, and the AI will rely specifically on it.

Thus, you can launch an AI employee in 20-30 minutes using the documents you already have.
