Can images be added to my pickaxe knowledgebase?

I haven’t tried putting images in the knowledge base, but I’ve had good success with putting instructions in the prompt that the bot should display certain images if certain topics come up in the conversation.  
Example:

- If someone asks about [topic a], show them this image: [https://anywebsite.com/pixA.jpg](https://anywebsite.com/pixA.jpg)
- If someone asks about [topic b], show them this image: [https://anywebsite.com/pixB.jpg](https://anywebsite.com/pixB.jpg)  
etc

No, the Knowledge Base does not recognize images that are within text documents (pdfs, txt, docx, etc.). They only scrape and embed the text in those documents.

You can, however, give the bot a small directory of images it can return in responses. To do this, you must give it links to places where the image is hosted online. Here is a help post that explains how to do that: [How to render images inside a chat](https://community.pickaxe.co/t/how-to-render-images-inside-a-chat/567)
