Drivers

What is a driver?

A driver is a way to make a given information source available within your Retrieval Agent.

Its name (and description when applicable) is important because in some cases, the Retrieval Agent will use it to evaluate if the corresponding source is valuable for the query it is currently processing.

How to create a driver?

On the left menu, click on Drivers, then use the pull-down menu called Add driver on the right to select the kind of driver you need.

Depending on the drivers, you will need to provide different information, including crednetials or API keys, see below.
