Most bots go stale the moment you stop watching. Velaro's AI Knowledge Scraper monitors your sources, detects what changed, and re-crawls exactly what your bot needs to answer better — automatically.
Generic scrapers crawl everything, re-crawl on a timer, and have no idea what your bot actually needs to know. The result: stale answers, bloated indexes, and support tickets for questions your bot should have handled.
You run the initial crawl, it looks great. Then your pricing page changes, a product gets discontinued, and your return policy gets updated. Your bot keeps confidently quoting the old info.
Customers ask things your bot can’t answer. But nobody knows which source pages are missing. So the knowledge base keeps growing with the wrong content while the gaps stay invisible.
Quota runs out fast when you re-crawl 2,000 pages to catch 40 changes. You end up scheduling less frequent crawls, which makes the staleness worse.
Velaro tracks what changed, monitors what your bot can’t answer, and re-crawls the right pages — automatically. No manual audits. No mystery gaps.
Six capabilities that work together so your bot’s knowledge stays current without anyone watching it.
Before re-crawling any page, Velaro checks whether its content actually changed. Only modified pages consume quota. Unchanged pages are skipped. Your crawl budget goes toward what matters.
Velaro analyzes your bot’s knowledge index and identifies topics, categories, and question types that lack sufficient coverage — before your customers encounter the gap.
When your bot can’t answer a question, Velaro monitors the failure, identifies which source pages are most likely to contain the missing knowledge, and automatically queues them for re-crawl. Bot failures become self-healing fixes.
Every crawl run, every page result, every skip and every failure is logged. See exactly what changed, what timed out, and what returned thin content — with timestamps and status codes.
Web pages, PDFs, YouTube video transcripts, and SharePoint document libraries. One unified knowledge index, one Activity Log, one quota meter — regardless of source type.
Per-source page limits, crawl depth controls, and real-time quota tracking. Never blow past your index budget. Set limits per domain, per source type, or per schedule run.
Every time a customer asks something your bot can’t answer, that’s a signal. Velaro captures it, traces it back to a source page, and fixes it — without a human ever touching a queue.
When your bot says it can’t find an answer, Velaro monitors the unresolved query, identifies which source pages on your website or documentation are most likely to contain the missing information, and automatically adds them to the next crawl run. No ticket. No manual review. No human needed.
Velaro builds a coverage map of your knowledge index. Topics with sparse coverage, question categories with no good source pages, and content types your bot handles poorly are surfaced in a prioritized gap report — so you can fill them proactively instead of reactively.
Velaro maintains a content fingerprint for every indexed page. When a scheduled scan runs, only pages whose fingerprint has changed get re-processed. The rest are skipped instantly. This means your knowledge can update daily without burning through your quota in a single run.
The Activity Log shows every page result: indexed successfully, skipped (unchanged), blocked by robots.txt, thin content filtered, timeout, HTTP error. You always know exactly what made it into your bot’s knowledge — and what didn’t, and why.
Most teams bolt a generic scraper onto their AI chatbot and call it a knowledge base. Here’s what that costs them.
| Capability | Velaro AI Knowledge Scraper | Generic Web Scraper |
|---|---|---|
| Re-crawls only changed pages (Smart Scan) | ✓ Content fingerprinting on every page | ✗ Full re-crawl every run |
| Detects coverage gaps before customers hit them | ✓ Automated gap analysis | ✗ Not applicable |
| Turns bot failures into re-crawl jobs | ✓ Conversation-Driven Re-crawl | ✗ No chatbot awareness |
| Per-page status in Activity Log | ✓ Full run history with page-level results | ✗ Success/fail only |
| PDF and YouTube transcript ingestion | ✓ Web, PDF, YouTube, SharePoint | ✗ HTML only (typically) |
| Thin content filtering | ✓ Auto-filters nav menus, cookie banners, boilerplate | ✗ Indexes everything, including noise |
| Quota management per source | ✓ Per-domain limits, depth controls, real-time tracking | ✗ Manual stop conditions |
| Built for AI chatbot context windows | ✓ Chunked and ranked for retrieval quality | ✗ Raw HTML dumps |
One knowledge index fed from every source your team actually uses.
Crawl any public or authenticated web URL with configurable depth, domain scope, and exclusion rules.
Upload product manuals, policy docs, and spec sheets. Text is extracted, chunked, and indexed automatically.
Add video URLs and Velaro ingests the transcript. Tutorials and walkthroughs become searchable knowledge.
Connect via Microsoft OAuth and index document libraries directly. Works with your existing M365 infrastructure.
