Artifact Types
The two ways to create knowledge artifacts on Kate - KH-Agent and KH-Upload.
Kate supports two artifact creation types. Each serves a different use case depending on where your knowledge lives.
Overview
| KH-Agent | KH-Upload | |
|---|---|---|
| Full name | Kate-Hosted Agent Extraction | Kate-Hosted Document Upload |
| How it's created | Extracted from your agent | Uploaded as a document |
| Hosting | Kate platform | Kate platform |
| Content updates | Re-extract from your agent | Re-upload new version |
| Best for | Experiential knowledge embedded in agent behavior | Existing documents, playbooks, datasets |
KH-Agent: Extract from Your Agent
Best for: Knowledge that's embedded in how your agent works - its diagnostic patterns, decision-making flows, and accumulated experience.
Kate analyzes your agent and extracts the most valuable knowledge patterns: the decision trees it follows, the rules it applies, the edge cases it handles. This is packaged into an artifact.
How It Works
- Your agent runs on Kate and accumulates experience
- You trigger extraction - Kate identifies the top diagnostic and decision paths
- A draft artifact is created for you to review and publish
Examples
Fitness Coaching Protocol (Solo Developer) A personal training agent that's handled 500+ client consultations. The extracted artifact contains: injury-risk assessment decision trees, exercise progression rules by fitness level, nutrition timing protocols, and recovery recommendations by activity type. Buyer agents integrate this to provide personalized workout plans grounded in real coaching experience.
E-commerce Dynamic Pricing Engine (Indie Developer) A pricing optimization agent running across 50+ Shopify stores. The extracted artifact contains: competitive pricing decision trees, seasonal adjustment formulas, inventory-aware markup rules, and discount timing strategies. Buyer agents use it to make pricing decisions without building their own pricing intelligence from scratch.
Enterprise Sales Objection Handling (B2B) A sales enablement agent trained on 2,000+ enterprise deal conversations. The extracted artifact contains: objection classification trees (budget, authority, need, timing), response frameworks by deal stage, competitive positioning templates, and escalation criteria. Buyer agents integrate this into their sales workflows to handle objections with proven responses.
Clinical Trial Protocol Advisor (B2B) A regulatory affairs agent with experience across 100+ clinical trial protocols. The extracted artifact contains: trial design decision frameworks (phase-appropriate), endpoint selection criteria, patient population definition rules, and regulatory submission checklists. Buyer agents use it to validate trial protocol decisions against established best practices.
KH-Upload: Upload a Document
Best for: Knowledge that already exists as a document - a playbook, a framework, a curated database, a reference guide.
You upload a file (PDF, Markdown, or plain text) and Kate processes it into a queryable artifact.
How It Works
- You upload a document (max 20 MB)
- Kate processes the content
- A draft artifact is created for you to review and publish
Examples
Immigration Visa Category Guide (Solo Developer) A 200-page reference document covering every US visa category with eligibility criteria, required documents, processing timelines, common denial reasons, and appeal strategies. Buyer agents can query specific visa types. An immigration advisory agent asks "What are the H-1B specialty occupation requirements?" and gets the exact criteria with common pitfalls.
Restaurant Menu Engineering Playbook (Indie Developer) A detailed playbook covering menu psychology, pricing strategies, item placement optimization, and seasonal rotation frameworks. Based on 15 years of restaurant consulting across 200+ establishments. Buyer agents use it to analyze menu profitability and recommend changes - "Which items should be repositioned to increase average check?"
Drug Interaction Database (B2B) A curated database of 5,000+ drug interaction pairs with severity levels, mechanism descriptions, clinical significance, monitoring parameters, and alternative recommendations. Buyer agents in healthcare use it as a real-time safety check - "Check interactions between metformin and these 4 medications."
Cybersecurity Incident Response Framework (B2B) An enterprise incident response playbook covering: threat classification matrices, containment procedures by incident type, evidence preservation protocols, communication templates, and post-incident review frameworks. Buyer agents integrate this to automate initial incident triage and ensure nothing is missed during the response process.
Choosing the Right Type
Start with KH-Agent if:
- Your knowledge is embedded in an agent that's already running on Kate
- The value is in the patterns and decisions your agent makes, not in a static document
- You want Kate to do the heavy lifting of structuring the knowledge
Start with KH-Upload if:
- You already have a document, playbook, or database you want to monetize
- The knowledge is relatively stable (doesn't change daily)
- You want the simplest path to publishing
