FAQ and Tips for Using Knowelle™
Is Knowelle for IFDA members only?
Knowelle is open for anyone to use for three questions, then users are required to log in as an IFDA member. All IFDA members have unlimited access to Knowelle after logging in.
How do I find Knowelle’s sources?
For each response Knowelle provides, she cites and links to the related IFDA publications or web pages where she found the information and/or offers an IFDA staff contact.
Are Knowelle's answers accurate?
Knowelle does a great job summarizing information she has access to, but like any Large Language Model Artificial Intelligence agent, she can make mistakes and provide inaccurate or incomplete answers. We encourage users to double-check important information, not take action on responses without careful consideration, and not use responses as a substitute for expert advice. IFDA cannot guarantee accuracy or completeness of Knowelle’s outputs. Please contact IFDA staff to verify specific information or context.
What questions can't Knowelle answer?
Knowelle only has access to IFDA sources, so she can’t answer general questions like a public search engine. She does not have access to the internet at large, as she is designed to provide IFDA and foodservice distribution-specific information. If she can’t find answers in her database, she’ll direct users to IFDA staff.
What information does Knowelle retain?
IFDA retains anonymized user data entered into Knowelle, including user prompts, metadata, and feedback. This data is stored securely and used to enhance the performance and accuracy of our services. See our full Privacy Policy for more information.
