Documentation for Academy Hub
Learn how to capture resources, review candidates, and retain high-quality normalized knowledge with your team.
On This Page
Getting Started
Create an account, add your first resource, and track processing.
Core Concepts
Understand resources, documents, themes, and normalizations.
Workflow
Discovery -> candidate review -> consumption -> follow-up exploration.
Resource Types
Supported formats and what each discovery strategy emits.
Status Glossary
Meaning of each processing status and what to do next.
FAQ
Common questions about collaboration, quality, and privacy.
Getting Started
Set up your account, submit a resource, and bring knowledge into the hub in minutes.
Step 1
Create your workspace
Sign up and complete your profile so collaborators can recognize your contributions.
Step 2
Add a resource
Paste a URL or upload a file to queue discovery for the right strategy.
Step 3
Review discovered candidates
Inspect document candidates and follow-up candidates extracted from the resource.
Step 4
Consume with themes
Consume selected candidates into canonical representations, then generate themed normalizations.
Core Concepts
Academy Hub organizes knowledge into layers so you can curate with clarity and precision.
Resources
The original inputs you submit: URLs, PDFs, videos, or files that hold knowledge.
Document Candidates
Potential retained documents discovered from a single resource.
Retained Documents
Documents created by consuming candidates, each with type-specific canonical representations.
Follow-up Candidates
Links/search prompts discovered from the resource to expand the graph.
End-to-End Workflow
Keep everyone aligned on how knowledge moves from discovery to retained outputs.
Workflow Checklist
Confirm resource reference and type before queueing discovery.
Review document candidates and reject noisy or duplicate entries.
Consume selected candidates with a default theme or explicit theme set.
Explore follow-up candidates to expand linked resources and re-run discovery.
Quality Signals
Use these signals to determine whether a candidate is ready to be consumed.
Clear summaries
Candidate content is coherent and captures the core subject.
Theme fit
Candidate content clearly maps to one or more themes.
Actionable next steps
Follow-up candidates identify useful links or search topics to explore next.
Resource Types
Choose the closest format so discovery strategies can emit high-quality candidates.
Website
Blog posts, research articles, and reference docs with rich text.
Books, reports, and papers that need structured extraction.
YouTube
Videos with transcripts and metadata for lessons or tutorials.
Video
Uploaded or external videos consumed into timeline-ready segments.
Image
Visual references such as diagrams, screenshots, or whiteboards.
Audio
Podcasts or recordings that can be transcribed into notes.
Spreadsheet
Tables, datasets, and matrices with structured information.
Web Search
Search-query resources used as deterministic discovery seeds.
Status Glossary
Track discovery progress and know exactly what to do next.
Resource States
Waiting in the queue. No action needed yet.
Discovery worker is processing this resource.
Candidates are ready for consumption or follow-up exploration.
Something went wrong. Retry or adjust the resource details.
Best Practices
Name resources with the exact title so they are easier to find later.
Consume strong document candidates as soon as they are validated.
Use themes to group related documents instead of copying notes across projects.
Explore follow-up candidates to grow the knowledge graph iteratively.
Frequently Asked Questions
Short answers to the questions we hear most from teams getting started.
How does collaboration work?
Every document and normalization is versioned so multiple contributors can improve knowledge without overwriting each other.
Can I edit a theme after it is created?
Yes. Themes are living collections. Update titles, descriptions, and templates as the knowledge base evolves.
What happens if a resource fails to process?
Review the resource details, confirm the type, and retry. If the source is blocked, try a different URL or upload the file directly.
Is my content private?
Academy Hub is built for shared knowledge. Only submit content you have permission to share with your collaborators.
Ready to build your knowledge base?
Start with one resource, review candidates, and keep refining through follow-up exploration.
