Select Your AI Search Sources

Now that you've connected your content, it's time to decide where your AI search bar will find answers. Think of this as training your AI assistant: will it use only your website's content, or will it also leverage a wider network of trusted sources? Here’s how to make that important choice.

📚 Choosing Your AI Search Sources

🏠 Your Website Content

Your website content is always the primary source for your AI search bar. Gist will use the content you've already provided (like WordPress posts or RSS feeds) to answer user queries.

The quality of answers directly depends on how much relevant and clearly written content you've added to your site. This option is required and always enabled, so you don't need to take any action here.

If your site already has all the information your visitors need, this option alone might be perfect for you.

🌐 Gist Content Network

Boost your AI search with the optional Gist Content Network. This extensive network includes over 500 trusted and well-established sources.

By activating it, your search bar can provide more accurate and comprehensive answers by combining your content with these additional, high-quality references. All external content is properly licensed, credited, and compensated, ensuring no copyright concerns for you.

Important: Access to the Gist Content Network requires approval. If you choose this option, your request will be submitted for review.

This is highly recommended if your own content doesn’t cover every possible question your visitors might ask, providing a richer knowledge base.

💾 Save Your Selection

Once you've made your decision, simply click the blue Save button to continue to the next step.
