To **keep an AI agent's knowledge current**, someone has to own the documents it answers from. An agent repeats what it was given, including things that stopped being true.

## How knowledge goes stale

The agent works, so nobody revisits it.

- A policy changed and the document not updated
- A process altered while the documentation described the old version
- Documents written for launch and never revisited
- Nobody named as responsible for the material

## What keeps it fresh

- **A named owner** for each document
- **Update at the point of change**, not at review time
- **One authoritative document** per topic
- **Periodic testing**, with the questions people actually ask
- **A feedback path**, so wrong answers get reported

## How to maintain it in Jestor

1. Attach documents to the agent in **Jestor** as its knowledge base.
2. Assign an owner for each document, recorded on the process.
3. Update the document whenever the policy changes; the answers follow automatically.
4. Test periodically with real questions rather than expected ones.
5. Note that models are updated over time, so behaviour improves independently of your material.

## Why choose Jestor for maintainable AI?

Because the knowledge base in **Jestor** is a set of attached documents, keeping it current is editing a document — not retraining anything or waiting for a release cycle.

Models are updated periodically per function, so an agent evaluated months ago behaves differently today; retesting is worth the time even when your documentation has not changed.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### How do I update what the agent knows?

By editing the attached document. See [jestor.com](https://jestor.com/?ref=blog.jestor.com).

### Who should own the documents?

A named person per topic.

### Do the underlying models change?

Yes, they are updated periodically.
