AI Agent Data Sources
What are Data Sources?
Data Sources are the trusted information inputs that OnFinality’s AI Agent AVA uses to generate accurate, up-to-date, and context-aware responses. Instead of relying solely on general AI knowledge, AVA grounds its answers in real blockchain data and curated project information provided through OnFinality’s infrastructure, your resources, and partner sources.
Data Sources define what AVA knows and where that knowledge comes from.
Why Data Sources Matter
Using defined data sources allows AVA to:
Produce verifiable and explainable answers
Stay up to date with live network conditions
Avoid hallucinations or outdated information
Deliver insights that are actionable and personal
Not answer topics irrelevant to your project
AVA is trained to only answer based on the data sources you provide. While AVA does have general background knowledge which helps her to understand your context, you can be confident AVA won’t provide answers from external sources - for example your competitors.
Data Source Types
Static Data Sources
Data Source | Description | Notes |
|---|---|---|
Website | Public websites & documentation | AI Agent AVA will make an initial crawl of the website, then repeat every 24 hours. You can manually request a new crawl at any time if your website changes. |
File Upload | Markdown, Text Files | Provide context to AI Agent AVA which is not available on the internet. |
Custom Answers | Templated answers provided by you to help AVA answer questions on a given topic | Custom Answers will take priority over other Data Sources. If you wish to provide AVA with additional context for other Data Sources, or general guidelines, instead use the Agent Config - Custom Prompt. |
Dynamic Data Sources
Data Source | Description | Notes |
|---|---|---|
GraphQL Agent | Ask your indexed SubQuery or The Graph datasets questions in plain English. | AVA uses the GraphQL schema to understand how to query your project. Follow our guide Writing Helpful GraphQL Schema for best results. |
External MCP Service | AI Agent AVA is infinitely extensible with any third party MCP service. | OnFinality cannot verify the performance or answers when you use an external MCP service. You may need to sign up with the third party provider and provide the API Key with the configuration. Refer to the third party documentation. |
