 # Configure a knowledge base
 
-Knowledge base, hallucination-free chat, and file management are three pillars of RAGFlow. RAGFlow's AI chats are based on knowledge bases. Each of RAGFlow's knowledge bases serves as a knowledge source, *parsing* files uploaded from your local machine and file references generated in **File Management** into the real 'knowledge' for future AI chats.

-In **user_default_llm** of [service_conf.yaml](https://github.com/infiniflow/ragflow/blob/main/docker/service_conf.yaml), you need to specify LLM factory and your own _API_KEY_.
